I'm Now Doing Beta-Reading, Proofreading and Editing! · 10:19pm Jun 19th, 2013
Hello, FimFiction and followers,
-Want some feedback on your existing stories?
-Want to know if you have a decent new story idea or not? I've read so many stories on this and other sites, that I can recognize what's been done to death and what's a new idea.
-Want someone who isn't afraid to be critical, but believes that it is possible to redeem ANY story? Yes, even that one story you wrote that has 20 thumbs down and only two thumbs up, with only fourteen views somehow?
-Want a Grammar Nazi to eliminate every misspelling, past/present tense confusion, it's/its confusion, passive voice use, comma splice, and any other grammar, stylistic, or spelling error from your story?
Then you'll want to utilize my editing services!
Even if you've already had an editor or proofreader go over it, you can still ask me. Two sets of eyes are better than one!
Just send me a PM, and a link to the story. If it's a beta-reading job, then obviously I'll also need the unpublished view password, if any.
All I ask is that you don't send me romance, clop, or gore. It's not that I'm morally opposed to it or anything (I couldn't care less what you write, and I'm almost impossible to offend), I just am not experienced with writing those genres.
I can't guarantee that you'll become super popular (hell, my own stories are "underground" by any definition of the word) but I CAN guarantee you a better shot.
So, send 'em my way!

Ah, Sun be praised!
I've been looking for some extra help with mine. I've had a mentor, and my skills have been improving at a rate that would impress anyone, but I'm still not satisfied with this chapter I've done a second draft on already.
I'm trying my best to forward along the rest of it, but I've had little time to look back.
I don't need help with the ideas or anything, but the style still feels rough to me. I'd be greatful if you could lend me a hand.
Thanks.

Ah! This is exactly what I needed to point me in the right direction.
What you saw was already a massive improvement from my first draft, but there was only so much I could do before I needed someone else to take a closer look at it.
Thanks a lot!
That was Ch. 1, but if you're interested, I have the first and second segments of my (frankly enormous) prologue. I'm not asking you to edit them (I feel they're already well-polished, but if you feel something should be said, I won't stop you) but I hope you enjoy the story.
1155433 I'll read them, and if I have anything important to say, I'll just leave it in the comments
Can I toss you a few of my clients? I've taken a bit more than I can chew and I'm beginning to think that they're getting pissed off...

Alright, releasing the floodgates now! Prepare yourself!
