I would like to help proofreading, but I don't know if my grammar correction skill's are good enough.

Well, I think you meant grammar correction skills (plural) not skill's (possessive). Don't worry, (here apostrophe is a contraction of Do not) the fact that you are ready to try is much more important. A proofreader's task is not just only to correct grammar and spellings, but to offer suggestions on the sentence and paragraph structure.
You can easily point out where you feel the story is awkward or the sentences could have been better worded. Every little bit helps!

So how can I help you, should I just read your ff and write the things I think are awkward into the comments or a personal message?
Is a personal message here on Royalroadl even possible?

Personally i think you should just comment on the thread of the story chapters. Mine are generally unlocked, so anyone can post comments. If the thread is locked [not going to happen anytime soon] you can pm me.
For pm, Go to my profile asphaltus, select contact and send me a pm.

Okay, I will start reading your FF in the afternoon, have to go to work now.

#7I tried proofreading a little bit, I'm the anonymous guy which worked on the punctuation.
I hope that I could help you a little bit.

Your chapters are really long, don't you have problems while writing? When I'm writing, I'm orienting trying to write as small a chapter as possible. This is something I understood after reading several books. For me a chapter with about 2000 words is the limit, the longer it is, the more issues I'm facing. If you are comfortable with long chapters, than you are lucky.
I will try to help proofreading a little more, later today. If you have sentences were you think that it could be better, can you write a comment next to it?

Thanks.
I just finished proofreading your second chapter. I think that it would be better if you make more documents,
one document for each chapter. And do you want to use 3rd person or first person view?
RE: Proofreading & Review Business
#11Sorry Darkgo,
I tried to proofread, but I had some problems in understanding what you meant. Since I'm not a native English speaker, you will need someone better than I.
RE: Proofreading & Review Business

Thanks for trying, just to be sure you didn't understood the part you did proofread or something else?
Also it seems I didn't make myself clear in previous comment. I do want my chapter to be proofread,
but I will be satisfied with just marking mistakes and not understandable parts.

I stopped in the middle of the first page, there was a paragraph which I didn't understand.
I didn't want to change your it, I could have written it differently, but I didn't know if you wanted to convey what I thought you want.

Hey im Cerubion, and i will proofread all the Stuff that needs it, i won't read all of a chapter at once as it is tiring, but i will probably correct up to 60 or 70 mistakes per step :)
As a Tipp to other new guys to proofreading, try reading backwards, start at the end. This greatly helps not overlooking grammar stuffz and other kinds of mistakes.

You made it to be viewable only. It's impossible to comment on it so I suggest changing that.
Dream Chaser - After the world got destroyed, four people find themselves in a society under the feet of an Energy user. It is their wish to survive and help those around them, but how do you fight an opponent that can shape the whole world as they see fit?
You might want to think twice before you try to use a man's conscience against him. It might just turn out he doesn't have one.
