In search of editors(Still!) · 7:27am Dec 20th, 2013
Dear readers,
I know that the quality of my writing may seem shoddy at best, but that is because I have been working with a majority of my fictions without an editor. While I know a lot of people do not enjoy such work, I came here to ask for your aid because I am not a magical talking perfect pony like Twilight, but a rather stupid one when it comes to editing my own work. Of course I don't suggest you work for nothing, there will be credit to you in the authors notes, as well as seeing the chapters of the fics I do need help with before anypony, or anyone else of course. I'll even throw in a cameo or two for ya if ya want it. If you're wondering what you'd be editting, currently I am working on "Fallout Equestria: A Changeling Perspective", "The Everfree Monster", with a much slower pace on "Hal 9000, Space Impact" and "Our Haunted House" as well. Mostly however the first two.
I appreciate your comments and suggestions if you have any, though I do have to warn you, the usual stark silence to these blogs is starting to drive me insane.

I'd be willing to help you out.
1627172 Every bit of aid helps, been currently working on the next chapter of FoE: A Changeling perspective, and once it's done I'll let ya know. Would you mind looking over the first few chapters though for me? I feel like I have a bit inconsistency on perspective in the first three. If you find anything, please just message any of the errors and what is wrong with them in a bundle.
I thank you for your time in advance! hehe, likewise if you need any help with anythin' just let me know!
1627178 That seems a bit inefficient. Wouldn't it be easier to use gdocs or even word to edit it, rather than sending you a PM with the errors? I'm still up for it, but I'm just pointing it out.
1627185 I tried Gdoc a few times, it ate my work and I never found it again despite spending an hour trying to find it again. I have a skype if you want to chat and trade word doc's there or anything. Though be warned, Microsoft word tends to yell at me for 'Fragmented Sentences'.
If you need skype info searching iridwind and looking for the face-shot of a bluepony with a yellow stripe who lives in Hillsboro will probably be best, if nothing shows up try my fimfiction username with a period at the T.
I'm not much for grammar but my perception is pretty good, I can help with spelling or fleshing out ideas, I do the same for an IRL friend.
1628339 yay a second editor! If you want you can skype me as well or I can do what my old editor and I used to do and show ya the Fim fic mail editting method we used to do.
1628823 Meh, the mail will do, I don't have skype
1628849 Will do!
