Beta Readers Requested: PPC Mission by WarriorJoe on 2009-07-21 20:13:00 UTC Reply

I'm looking for betas of any sort for my most recent mission. Knowledge of the anime/manga One Piece is a bonus but not really required.

If you'd like to help me out, drop me a wire at novakrazny@gmail.com.

One Piece the pirate manga featuring Luffy Rubber Man and Co? How extensive does this knowledge have to be? And what kinds of things are you expecting a beta be able to do?

Also, could you link the badfic?

That'd be the one. by WarriorJoe on 2009-07-21 23:36:00 UTC Reply

I'm not expecting encyclopedic knowledge of the series; just a general idea of who's who is pretty much it. And whatever you're best at, in terms of betaing.

As for the fic...

And that address alone should give a decent idea of the level of the writing in it.

I don't mind teaming up with you for beta work. Hell, I'd be overjoyed to write the darn thing with ya. Anyway, this fic needs a complete overhaul but i'll settle for killage.

One question. Ain't Karoo the ducky?

Oh, and I've only been able to get past the Nefeltari Vivi arc with Sir Crocodile. Hope that's sufficient.

In short, so long as you don't have any other person in mind I'd be glad to offer my services in grammar etc. Oh, one thing. I don't usually have access to a computer and internet so this is a heads up.

It's properly spelled "Carue", I think, but Karoo is an alternate way it's been seen. Which makes me wonder why they'd use it as a name...

Whenever you have the chance is fine. And since the fic focuses mostly on the Stu and the five core Strawhats (and Chopper), I'd say you have sufficient knowledge. It mentions Robin, Franky, and Brook, but they're pretty much cameo appearances.

I'll contact your email address. Should do this now that I have the chance/time.

I tried to read it and got waaaay confused.

Karoo? Also happens to be the name of my internet people.

As in my, you know, people who give me internet. The ones with a monopoly and funny coloured phone boxes who give me an insane GB limit for a set fee per month. They're called Karoo. Dunno why.
