Wanting Collaborators (Editors Wanted!)

I'm not sure where to post this, but I thought Help would be a good place to start.

After reading some of the posts on http://websnark.com I've decided that I need an editor.

Where should I advertise for one?

Do you mean, you need a program to allow you to edit documents or images, or do you mean you need an individual who can examine your works, offer criticism, and correct mistakes?

Good point:

I meant someone to look over my work and find glaring errors.

Ask RKolter...he just found your last glaring mistake!

I'm about to come into some free time, I'm an English Lit major, and I'd be more than happy to do a bit of editing. Drop me a pm if you're interested.

I assume we are talking about editing your webcomic, as this is what KeenSpace does. Could you give us a link to your page or samples of your work to look at? I'm interested in giving you a hand in exchange for maybe some editing of my stuff. We all make mistakes, right?

I've got experience editing, but am out of time for anything right now. :/ Can I offer a suggestion right away though?

Make your image bigger. It's no fun squinting to read.

Also, how do you plan to have your editor help you? By sending the storyline and plot in to them to peruse, and then making the suggested changes if they fit, and drawing the comic?

This doesn;t really belong in help, but I can't decide whether it's something for TTT or GD.

Yo'ull probably get better response from TTT though, so I'll pop it over.

What is a good width?

Currently as I type this, I'm in 800x600 HELL. (Laptop supplied by Employer) So everything is HUGE and my site doesn't even fit on the screen.

I've been making the strips 600 px wide. What would a better size be?

As to Editor Duties: I want someone to start snarling at me if I don't have the scripts two weeks in advance and the inks one week in advance. Secondary to this is to make sure the strip makes sense to non-Susan's. Thirdly to make sure there are no spelling mistakes. I am willing to reciprocate.

What size? Well you should allow for people who use 800x600 mode, since they're 40% of the web just now, but the comic should also be as large as possible. Solution?

(You're not going to like this...)

Dump the side bar. Put everything under the comic so the comic has the room to stretch across the whole screen if required.

Means redesigning the website, though.

It's really just your first few comics that are ludicrously small. The recent ones look fine on my laptop of alarmingly high resolution. You might try just rescanning those first few a little bigger. You've seen my comic, try sizes like that, for the full-page ones.

Oh, and I got your email. Aside from there not being any end punctuation, there are no misspellings or grammatical errors. Looks good, so far.

Joel Fagin: I was afraid of that. *sigh*

Moghendhim: Thanks for the cool write up on your site!!

Redesign and rescanning will have to wait until I'm on my own computer.
