    Well it's September now so you can let Gina enjoy more of my slice of life that she'll pretend to hate :)

    Yup, buuuut the same author can't be in the queue twice, so you have to wait until your current story got a segment before submitting something else

    No worries, I'll just bug you again while you're reading Commander Jane. Hope you enjoyed poor Steven's story.

    It is a pretty hideous title. Also proofreading is the bane of my existence. No matter how many times I go over something Marcie and Gina still find things wrong.

    I mean, the bitching and whining is the point.

    Oh I know, and they are hilarious with it. But the typos I constantly can't catch kill me.

    Ironically, not going over it so often might actually help.

    When you proofread your own text, your brain is auto correcting any spelling errors.

    This is why it is so hard to spot your own mistakes while a pair of fresh eyes has a much easier time doing so.

    One solution is to not look at a chapter for a week or so, which causes your brain to dump it out of it's short term memory.

    Well that and using a spell check.

    I'm game, https://chyoa.com/chapter/Introduction.1599531
    Any path is fine

    Text to speech is my general solution, errors pop out like nails.

    Added you to the backlog

    That's an interesting way of going about it. Probably very useful for stuff like word mix ups that spell checker won't pick up.

    Well with poor Steven out of the way I'm out of the que and you have two stories now lined up so time to throw Laura back into the ring and ask for a follow up on my Harem Hotel season :)

    That and just checking the flow of the prose. Sometimes stuff just sounds wrong spoken and I usually find making it sound better makes it read better too.

    I should do another Masochist Mode review, but I think the only stories left are like 50+ chapters deep. And Lois Lane's Night Out is over, so I'm not sure who the voices would be.

    I mean, Hard Candy is now over for close to four years and that never stopped Marcie and Gina.

    Also reminder that there is no prerequisite to review the entire story.

    I think that we've established at this point I never half-ass something. It's whole-ass or nothing.

    [/edit] Just be glad I'm not submitting DOOMED anytime soon. You're gonna hate that one.

    Maybe a dumb question but I've tried searching "Cursed punishment" to little success, which story/branch are these characters from?

    Yeah the search function here has something to be desired.

    It's a fairly large story that still gets a decent amount of chapters

    The original author was gone even by the time I started writing for it. I wonder if they realized just how popular their story ultimately became

    A bunch of people have added to my branch, so if you intend to read it please stick to the top option
