Revision as of 22:18, 1 September 2014

A temp account since my old one isn't currently working due to Baka-Tsuki's disfunctioning/corrupted 'simple' skin.

Currently edit writing "Tate no Yuusha."


1st Revision: Correct spelling/grammar error, faulty sentence structures and repetitive words/definitions. Also try to untangle any confusing or obscure passages. Emphasis on retaining original translation's literal meaning as much as possible. Takes about 2 1/2 - 4 hours depending on chapter length.


2nd Revision: Focus on story flow, making paragraphs/dialogue more clear and concise as well as less choppy, so it'll be more enjoyable to read without having it become a chore. Takes about 2 - 3 hours depending on chapter length.


3rd Revision: ????? [getting story closer to print publishing quality]

Won't bother doing for multiple reasons.

(#1) I do enough work on this story series as it is.

(#2) Baka-Tsuki's version is more of a speed release, aka "Quantity over Quality."

(#3) Don't have a firm grasp of how this series is written in its original language. In other words, more of my own writing style will bleed over into the editing process should I attempt a full english conversion.

(#4) Don't feel like it~ Let other lazy leeches out there pick up the slack.

My main goal right now is to finish proofing the first volume at least. We'll see how motivated I am about this story after that.


P.S. I would appreciate it if the audience out there held off on reading newly released chapters until after I've gotten my 2nd revisions done. I usually finish them up on the same day of release, so please wait for 24 hours before reading.
