    Hi people, I have being writing a new story and I promised myself that this time I would publish a finished one. That means: with an Ending and Proofread.

    My first goal is hard but not impossible. The second one, well, it's maybe impossible for me. I use all tools that I have to revise it, but some sentences just don't flow naturally, or have punctuation problems, misused words, and sometimes I have to improvise, to change settings, or to cut whole descriptions because I don't have, well, the skills. As you may know the English is not my mind's language.

    here's an example of how it would help:

    If someone here is kind enough to be able to co-work proofreading this new story, I would be specially glad. Bad use of language is terrible for both readers and writers (and the story itself…)

    I'd be willing to, if you've no objections.

    I'm a half decent editor.

    welcome aboard, Pug! It would be great. PM your email

    I must warn you that this story is getting long… but it's nothing serious really, it's just another teen adventure using classic elements of FMG stories that we all know, nothing plotwise fancy. I'm aiming to get the slowest pace I am able to create instead of jumping plot to plot and also restricting it to just two principal characters, both girls. And it still is not completed, maybe less than half is already done, so there is no rush, you can take your time

    I'll send you a first draft, so you can read it and tell me what you think
