Hi folks! I am in need of some assistance re: the character I am apping. My tired, anxious brain is refusing to let me proof-read with any kind of objectivity (just screaming THIS IS TERRIBLE, SCRAP IT, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN WRITE AMERICANS YOU STUPID BRIT) and I'm kind of hitting a wall.

So, I need someone/s willing to lend a hand beta reading before I submit him. He's an Azurcrest Sophomore and I'm up to the point of his Freshman year so he's not far off done.

TIA :)

- Heather (Tabitha and Dominic)

	I'd offer to help, but I'm not American either so if you need help with something cultural, I'm not going to be very helpful, sorry :( (Reply to this) (Thread)

	me neither! if it's generic north american-ness i can try. i'm from the ontario city that the rest of canada says might as well be in the states, but we don't listen to them because we know we're the centre of the universe anyway. and besides, we apologize too much to be american.

	Why d'you think I made Dom from Quebec? I've worked there, and being British, Canadians feel like they're waaaaaaay more in my comfort zone ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm actually just after a general proof read plus glaring errors. He has a different upbringing to Dom and Tabs so that's not helping the anxiety telling me that my writing is shit! XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...how many non-Americans are there?? I'm used to most of a game being from here (especially the east coast, for some reason). I'm American so I might be able to help? What part of the country is he from, though? Do you just want general proofreading or...? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ditto! I'm used to Britpicking for people and now I'm kind of OH SHIT. Ha ha XD I'm actually just after general proofreading and a vague "does he read OK?" rather than specific cultural things, but if anything glaring jumps out at folks I would be hugely appreciative :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha I bet. And I was actually trying to think of a term for Britpicking, but American. It's hard, britpicking is just so catchy. And I can do that! I'm going to a party for an hour or so though, so if it's hurry hurry someone else probably should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
