Thank you Aurelius, pleased to meet you.

I meant 'legitimate' in that being currently unemployed I must apply for a minimum number of jobs each fortnight in order to claim dole payments, which means applying for an awful lot of jobs that I really don't want. I hate that. I should feel bad about not getting any of those, but the only jobs I really want are for proofreading and are few and far between. For me that just wouldn't be work, you see. It is not in the least a chore for me. It just happens anyway which is why I would be delighted to be able to offer that service here where I am reading anyway.

I have thought to ask a few whose stories I particularly liked but who really needed more proofing and wasn't sure how they might take it, the main reason I haven't reviewed any either. It felt somehow petty and pedantic. I really am not like that, except for written language, apparently.

By all means ask me. I read very fast.
