New things... · 7:21pm Oct 6th, 2013
Hello everypony... its me theone2three and i have some updates for you guys and gals
I have decided to become a editor and a proofreader
I think I have helped people enough to the point that I am going to take stories and help you guys and gals with your stories.
I will describe what stories I personally like and what I do ... when it comes to editing and proofreading... in the Bio and in this blog...
Stories that I would edit and help you with by genre( Also stories I tend to read) : Romance, Adventure, slice of life, Comedy ( I love jokes), Human ( HiE ), random ( maybe), Clops... I would accept only one... , Sci-Fi( I love these too but would require Lots of detail... explain later... )
these stories are the one's that I will do.
Stories that I will not do: Dark, Tragedy, Sad, stories that make no sense or stories that are too random, Clops... like i said earlier only accepting one and to add ... I would have to consider it ...
reasoning: I will start first with the stories that I will not do...
my reasoning behind not doing Dark, Tragedy, Sad, Clops... Well it comes down to what i like to read and write...
Things that either make me sad, have a lot of dark elements or have not so happy endings bum me out.
I don't want to feel anything other than happy ... it's my personality to be happy....
I could consider it if and only if the entire story isn't all dark, tragic or sad but after that ... NO
Also stories that make no sense and the author intends of doing this will not get accepted by me...
Clops for me fall into a special category
I will accept One and only one... and what I mean is a full on clop... like the story revolves around it...
These stories have lots of sexual content that makes me uncomfortable but I plan to add some clop scenes in my story... I might as well get use to it...
(*FYI I am not going to write a full clop-fic... just scenes in chapters that I plan to write in the next couple of weeks)
Now to the stroies Will do...
Romance: I am a softy for good romance stories... doesn't make me gay but I like the general concepts of them.
Adventure: YES... I love stories that have adventure, journeys and stuff like Epics... these stories make me fell like taking a hike to a tall mountain... I don't know why but they do...
Slice of life: I like these stories too... but if you are going to send me these stories then be prepared to have LOTS of detail with your story... because they are things that happen almost daily and Detail is everything
Comedy: these stories better have jokes in them that make me laugh or scenes that I would start cracking up to. ( FYI anything make me laugh...)
I am easily amused and if your are going to send one have elaborate scenes of funniness...
Human/ Anthro: I know that this is just what the story has when it comes to characters but I will accept these stories if they fall under the things I like to read and also if you are going to have humans... think about how you or a person would react to small ponies ... use some psychology, really think about it...
Anthro will be also accepted if they follow what i like above...
Random: I said maybe because of the fact that random stories aren't usually done alone... they either have comedy or something else attached to them but they better appeal or I will not accept them...
Sci-Fi: one of my favorite genres... this can be a crossover... but you'll have to know what you are talking about... these stories will require lots of detail and entertainment... in the sense that it has to have some kind of action or some epicness to it...
I know stories aren't always one topic but try to send me stories that have more of the stuff I like and would read rather than things I would not read and reject...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next thing... how I will help you...
I will sort of help you with editing your story... this is because I am not writing your story I am just here to help.
Helping you with Grammar and Spelling will not be the things I do unless you have a question about it...
They're word processors for a reason, so use them
Proofreading your story will always happen because I want to know if it makes sense and has meaning
I will be checking for Formatting and Flow
I will also be looking at your general concept of your stories and help you fix it if it is flawed or if it could be done better... to further elaborate on this ... We will discuss what you plan for your story and see if it's good or if it could be done better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now ways to communicate with me and ways to send your story to me:
My email is on my main page but you want it here I'll do it : cholula76@gmail.com
Also I like talking face to face and verbally speak so when I get in contact with you ask me for my Skype or use Google Talk ( recommenced)
or you can send PM's and messages to my email... ( I do check them a lot but I would rather to it verbally)
Reasoning for verbal communication is because I can say what i have to say better than I can type....
ways to send your story:
RECOMMENCED : Use your Google Drive and share your story with me...
either have it so I can edit it or have it so I can comment
The way you do this is by going to the upper right corner after you have clicked on your doc and click on the Blue Share Button...
it should give you a window...
Next there is a option for you that says invite people...
you click the space below it and more options should come up...
Then you type in my email...
or Any gmail ( if you have more than one editor/ proofreader/pre-reader) and add there email and press the Green share and save button
I have given these instructions so I wont have Confusion of how to send your stories over Google Drive
Will accept but not recommend : send your story in a Word doc that is formatted 97-2003 so I can use it ( use my email...)
I really don't want to do it like that but if you cant do it over Google Drive then this is your only option...
I will not accept copy and paste emails... they are betters ways now a days that make it easier for people to help other people
Last thing... my work hours are as follows:
3-8pm on weekdays and 7am-7pm on Weekends... Eastern standard time
I will check my emails during my lunch and though out my day
If you have any questions or concerns just email me
Thanks for listening to me and as always brohoof you and have a great day :^)
