Heyo, my name is Charlotte!

I've been a fan of Evil Flowers for a while and I recently noticed this position was open.

I've never actually done anything on manga but I have experience working as an editor! (Like "editing" editing. Um.) I also write a ton and I am a mean critic if that counts for anything. My eye also starts twitching if I see bad grammar or the like. If I have a pen or a marker on me, I'll do the writer a favor and fix the mistake for them!

...

So I'm anal. But that's a good thing in this line of work, right?

...

Ahem. Can I please take the test?

 

PS. What on earth are these little squiggly emoticon thingies called?! They're so cute!

 

<-For good luck.

Hi

 

I'm interested in taking the test for proofreaders. My only qualifications are that I speak English and don't suck at it. I wasn't going to apply but the emphasis on how you have to be godlike triggered my fighting spirit xD

Hello, I'm actually really interested to give  this a try.

I've just made an account, for the purpose of applying to be a proof-reader.

The only sort of proof-reading I've done is at school haha.

I'm a native English speaker and I hope that I can be of help, and that a long the way

my own proof-reading skills will get better. 

I've been reading a lot projects released by evil-flowers so I thought I should finally

get off my butt and help out XD

I would also like to take the test for proofreading. Though I am not a native english speaker I do have confidence in my english knowledge and a proficiency Cambridge exam to back it up. I've been a long term fan of your group and I've been following many projects both active or inactive so if there is anything I could help with in this area (I suck in using photoshop so I can't be of help in other deparments, the only thing I am confident in is english!), I would be glad to do so. I have plenty of free time until october when university starts. Such a position will also help me improve my english knowledge.

Do not worry about not being a native speaker. One of our head proofreaders, X5ga, is not a native speaker himself. So, doesn't matter if you are a native speaker or not, you just have to past the test. 8D

Of course i am a native proofreader, I HAVE PROOFREADING IN MY BLOOD and i eat it for breakfast. speaking of which, i am hungry.

 

BUTT yes, i am not a native English speaker, and a subtle way of letting others know this is that i don't capitalize the pronoun "i".

 

Good luck with them tests 8D.

I have applied to the position of QC-er but since my computer isn't working, I cannot really complete that test.

I am already a proofreader for AQUA Scans. I wouldn't mind taking a Proofreading test if there is because I completed Proofreading for AQUA Scans through ipad. I wouldn't mind any shoujo manga with which you need a proofreader for but would really love to work with Keishichou tokuhanka 007 and platinum garden :-)

Looking forward to your test.

Hello!!! I'd really love to be a proofreader and help you as much as I can, I'm a Native English speaker and I read at least 20 chapters of manga everyday! I really hate finding typos so I figured if I don't like it I should do something to change it!!! Please allow me to take the test and show you how much I can help! Thank you!

Hi there! I am really interested in working with your organization as a proofreader. I've always wanted to know about how these beautifully crafted artworks reach the screens of non-Japanese readers like myself.

 

I do not have any experience in proofreading manga but I do have good English language skills as I am currently pursuing a degree in teaching English.

 

I hope you will consider my application to be part of your organization.

 

Thank you!

Hello~

I would like to show my interest in the position as a proofreader for this organisation Evilflowers. I really appreciate all the people who put hard work into making these translated online manga with such high quality. I read manga on a regular basis and always am thinking about all the hard work that goes into making one chapter to its best quality. This is why I have always wanted to join a team of people who strive to bring the best quality of manga to those who are not able to read Japanese, Korean or Chinese. And as I read a lot of manga's from Evilflowers, I thought I would join the team of proofreaders and other teams such as QC and translator (Japanese).

I am a hardworking, motivated and reliable university student who aims to give the best quality in all work I do.
I would be willing to read as many manga's as required, any time of the year, making me also a fully flexible person.

I am aware of the difference in spelling between American and British English for example in my message there is a word organisation, and in American English it is organization. As I was taught the British English first I tend to use that as a standard version.  (I do not mind using the American spelling if this is preferred for your organization.)

I would enjoy proofreading any manga genre with a preference for shoujo, shounen, josei and school life.

I have an advanced level in English reading, writing and speaking and thus believe I am definitely capable of passing the test!

So, hereby I would like to request to take this test and am eager to be working with you soon!

Thank you~!

I would love to help out in any way I can and since I don't ,currently, speak Japanese I guess proof reading the mangas is my only option at the moment. It would be a pleasure to be selected though I may add that I have zero experience but everyone has to start somewhere. I may add that english is my first language and my favourite subject along with Latin.

I wanna take the exam/test or whatever you may call it for proofreaders. My English "level" will probably benefit you and i wish i'll be able to pass that "test".

Hi!

I was reading the Perfect Girl Evolution manga on mangafox, and some of the pages talked about evilflowers, so I have decided to come here and try to help . I have minimal experience with photoshop/paint, however, I am really good with english and proofreading. I don't have any experience with proofreading or doing anything else with manga, but I feel like this position is a good start. I also have a very flexible schedule (especially now that it's summer). I hope I'll hear from you soon, and I wish to take the test!

Hello! I was wondering if this group is in need of proofreaders. I would like to apply if proofreaders are still needed. Thanks so much! ^u^

I'm very interested in working with you!  I have been proofreading for Matteiru since January 2014. English is my first language and my major.  I also read manga and regular novels very quickly.  I would love to take the test and help out.

Thanks!

Hey there,
I'd also be interested in taking the test. Though I don't have any prior experience proofreading scanlations, I've just finished a Master's degree in English and would be happy to put my language skills at your disposal.
Thanks~

Hi!! ^^ Thanks to Meiji Hiiro Kitan I got to see this announcement!!

 

Let me thank you for making it possible for me (and those who still don't know Japanese) to read this amazing manga! 

When I read that you need proofreaders I thought that this could be a good way to express my gratitude to what you've done and still do for  all the fans out there! x3 That's why if it's not a problem for you I'd love to try my hand at proofreading! 

 

Wish everyone a great day/ a good night!!!  0(≧▽≦)0
