Proofreader application
« on: August 19, 2011, 03:48:45 AM »
Application:

Name/Nickname: Landon Sapera/Foxx
Country Of Origin & Time Zone: United States of America in the Central Time Zone
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Enter Msn or Yahoo messenger: damioncastric@yahoo.com
What Field You Would Like To Be Positioned In:Proofreader
Why You Want This Position: In truth I have always wanted to look over the scripts of a Manga and help correct it before it was published.
Your Time Available: I usually get home at around 3 o'clock so generally 4 o'clock through 10 o'clock
Experience: The only experience I would have in this would be about 5 years of English and Grammar classes. I'm currently in English II in high school if that counts.

Preliminary Test:

p.118
Niko: There's no cage in Polaris!

text: In fact, the story of Polaris is about how "The Prince and the Princess of the Ursa Minor accepted the arranged marriage and lived happily ever after." And that's all.

text: Yes. What intervened in this story was my "imagination".
Fran: ...The conclusion ought to be the same.
Sfx: Rustling.

text: However, it's you two that's being deceptive. You're talking about your "imagination" since you two have your favorable story line of "She chose on her own to stay by her love".

p.119
Niko: You're a liar!!
text: Aah, why is this child looking straight at me with those kind of eyes?

Niko: You deceived me! You're awful!
text: As if I'm wrong.
Sfx: Breathe in

Fran: Yes.

Fran: Maybe it is a lie ,but I thought it would be nice if it was like that.
pg.120
text: However, I didn't deceive you. That is to say, it was stories that are told for the purpose of entertaining people...
text: The truth of fiction is almost helpless before "imagination". As for this world, everything is about fact based on evidence.
Fran: It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Since its you who decides if my story was true, you should just accept that it was interesting
text: Well, without evidence, even history and fact could become fiction.  I'm only saying that it's more fun if there's room for intervention.

p.121
Fran: That's why the listener decides on what truth their own hearts want.
text: "Cage of Polaris".  This cage is made up of thoughts called "Me" This would also be the truth for people who are happy being locked in a cage.
Fran: You too.

p.122
Fran: Don't you think that freedom of speech and pleasantness lie in there?
Niko: ...

Niko: I don't understand the difficult stuff, though... But I understand one thing!
Fran: What is it?

Niko: That you're a pervert!
Sfx: Smile.
Fran: Yes, that's correct. I'm glad that you got it right.

p.123
Fran: Aah, it's around time for me to go, otherwise it will be too dark.
Niko: ...

Hi there! I'm so sorry about the long wait! >_<

I'll be going through your test today. :)

Ah, but first things first. In future reference, please don't take out the "/"'s and "//"'s. They are what tells the typesetters where bubbles start and end.

p.118
text: However, it's you two that's being deceptive. You're talking about your "imagination" since you two have your favorable story line of "She chose on her own to stay by her love".
- In the original, it had "too" and it wasn't a typo. Replacing the "too"'s with "two"'s is incorrect.
- "Story line" should be one word.

Fran: Maybe it is a lie ,but I thought it would be nice if it was like that.
- Spaces around the comma are incorrect.

pg.120
Fran: It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Since its you who decides if my story was true, you should just accept that it was interesting
- "Its" in the second sentence should be "it's".

text: Well, without evidence, even history and fact could become fiction.  I'm only saying that it's more fun if there's room for intervention.
- Get rid of the extra space before the second sentence.

p.121
Fran: That's why the listener decides on what truth their own hearts want.
- The sentence has a plural subject. So instead of "listener decides", it should be "listeners decide".

text: "Cage of Polaris".  This cage is made up of thoughts called "Me" This would also be the truth for people who are happy being locked in a cage.
- Extra space before the second sentence.
- Missing punctuation before the third sentence.

p.122
Niko: I don't understand the difficult stuff, though... But I understand one thing!
- Keep it in 3rd person.

Niko: That you're a pervert!
- Keep the extra exclamation marks. (Max. of 3, though.)

p.123
Fran: Aah, it's around time for me to go, otherwise it will be too dark.
- Keep the unformatted em dash. (--)
- Change "around" to "about".

~*~*~*~

After going through your test, I'm afraid there are too many simple mistakes for me to pass you. Thanks for applying!
