I'm game if there's not a lot of gore, language, or sex.

I'm up for anything. :D Bring it on.

(Though tell me what kind of things you want looking for, because something that length I can go through and find just about ever misplaced comma if you need it.)

I'll give it a final run-through once everyone else has done so? With the expectation that you'll tell me if you have a deadline for anything >.>

If you need help with grammar corrections, that's something I'm really good at.

Read it yesterday, Shali, and I LOVE it. <3

Grammatical corrections (/suggestions) are in the works. Hoping to do that tonight or tomorrow, though it might take me a few days because I have limited amounts of time. Do you have an email address you can pm me? I can do it over pm but I prefer email because I like to color-code (it's a visual thing) and that's easier to do in email than in pm.
