Fan Fiction Proofreaders Progress - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 07-09-2002, 04:42 PM

Here are our Proofreaders and how many 'chapters' they have done as of 9 July 2002.

Susan Donell - 18
Kingdom Warrior - 16
Ithaeliel - 5
Leah Craven - 4
Eknanowen - 2
Leslie Loubert - 1
Bethberry - 1
lindz xx - 1

I will keep this updated as often as I can, but I can't guarantee the accuracy. It will be easy to lose count.

Thanks a lot, proofreaders!!!

Knowing how many fics I've sent in, you should have plenty to read....hehehe! [insert evil cackle here]

Sam: Have you ever considered that they're already done going through them?
Me: Hm... Not really, but I believe you have a point there, Sammy-boy. o_O
Sam: Don't call me that..!
Merry: You don't like being called "Sammy-boy"? (snickers)
Sam: (glares) Just about as much as you like being called "Mary"...
Merry: (gives Sam a look a pure hatred)

Uialellethwen · 07-13-2002, 12:59 AM

Huh? I know I sent more than 1 in... I think it's at about 3 now... TH, how's Mary? And Un-Mary? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Any more updates? Because I know that by now I've done at least ten.

It's only been 6 days! At least give me a week to update this [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Ithaeliel · 07-15-2002, 12:35 PM

There's seven days in a week and six is close enuff, but okay. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Ithaeliel · 07-15-2002, 03:48 PM

Aww, Arwen, just because you don't know something doesn't mean you're stupid. If you want to know, all you gotta do is email him.

PROOFREADERS: Please check to see if you have some old stories that you need to send to me. I show about 20 that have never come back my way.

POTENTIAL PROOFREADERS: If you are interested in helping us out, please drop me an e-mail.

Ithaeliel · 08-25-2002, 07:55 PM

I have sent in all the stories that I was sent last. I haven't had any since. School will be starting soon, so I will have less time on my hands, but I still have time for this. Just letting you know.

Arwen Imladris · 08-27-2002, 07:19 PM

Hmm, Galadrie1, think of how many people you know named Carolyn, then think of how many people you know named Franklin. How lickly is it that there are more then one, they are not exactly common names!

Eärendil · 08-28-2002, 08:20 AM

Barrow-Wight, I sent you a mail about 1-2 months ago, but I haven´t got any reply... I would really want to help with proof reading, that is, if someone first explains to me exactly what it is.. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[ August 28, 2002: Message edited by: Eärendil ]

Galadrie1 · 08-28-2002, 11:56 AM

Yes, Arwen, I know it's you! I knew it was you the first time I saw your name there, because I was talking to your brother and he said he asked you if you proofread for the Barrow Downs and you said you did... so.. yeah.. Then I asked you what your name was on BD and you said Arwen Imladris.. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Hmm..that made no sense, did it?

Arwen Imladris · 08-29-2002, 01:40 PM

Oh, it made some sence. I always wondered how you knew I was proofreading! It was like umm, ya, but how the pie did you know that! O well!

Arwen Imladris · 09-21-2002, 12:58 PM

Hey mister Barrow-wight! Just a gentel reminder, I know that you are busy but it has been a while since you updated this. Thank you.

Susan Delgado · 10-26-2002, 03:51 PM

Is this still going on? I haven't recieved any stories in weeks.

edit: Correction: it's actually been months.

Arwen Imladris · 10-27-2002, 08:16 PM

Ya, I was wondering the same thing, not compaining or anything, but what is going on? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
