OT: Mods, could we pretty please get a Vesperia and Graces tag? :3

I have some querstionzz. Well, just two then an announcement.

1.

Who wants to be my beta? 8D
I'm taking on the 30_kisses challenge for the pairing Reid/Farah from Tales of Eternia. I don't always need a beta for what I write, so I'd only call on you sometimes. (most likely the ones that exceed 2,000 words) None of my real life friends have played the game, so I can't ask them. :< I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me. I'm not sure what I could in return (other than beta). XD

What I'm mainly looking for is someone to tell me where I'm missing details, what's awkward, what's OOC, pacing problems, and what breaks canon. My grammar and spelling are usually pretty good, but hey, if you find a mistake there, you can point that out, too.

There's a short sample of my writing (original fiction) under the cut, so you know what you're getting into. To be honest, I'm not exactly proud of the fics in my journal right now. :/ I hope to change that. Just a quick note that may make one line make a little more sense: Nicole's an actress by profession.
( Nicole had been ready for anything, she thought. But this...Collapse )

2. Does anyone know if the savedata from EU PSP version of Tales of Eternia is compatible with with either the regular or "The Best" JP version? If so, I was thinking maybe I could use it to watch the camp skits and possibly upload them. I know there are videos on Pooptube, but they're very low quality which makes it very hard to understand. If I could get good quality videos, would anyone be interested in helping to translate them (only a dozen or so have already been translated)? Most of them aren't very long, but there are a lot. I would subtitle them :D

*drum roll* Announcing...

The Tales of Vesperia PS3 Translation Project" (x-posted to talesofvesperia )
You have to register to post.

So far we've got the entire Xbox 360 main storyline transcribed and I think some sidequests. I'm currently the only translator on the project, which is unfortunate, because I'm stuck with a crappy SDTV so the kanji are all tiny and fuzzy and impossible to look up. And if I forget exactly what I heard (which happens a lot), I'm screwed. I can manage with HD videos on Pooptube, 'cause those can be rewound and the kanji aren't blurry, but as far as I know, the PS3 exclusive scenes aren't all uploaded. There is talk of purchasing a certain guidebook (which could be scanned)

that will contain the whole PS3 script or something

. A week ago, someone said they would get it soon but we've heard nothing since.
