Looking for a Second Editor · 4:55pm Sep 29th, 2014
Because of the current standing on the number of chapters that need a massive face lift, I'm looking for a second editor for Sweetie's Mansion, to serve as a second pair of eyes for the upcoming chapters. Just so two things can be getting done at once (the editing of previous chapters as well as the production of more frequent and higher quality content).
It's just good to have some second set of eyes to make sure I don't miss silly things like... well, like most of the things I miss in the chapters I've written. You know what they are.
First come, first serve (like this is something everyone's going to jump on and be excited to be the editor for my shitty story), so chances are, I'll pick the first person who's able to have the best time commitment... more specifically, someone who is able to edit between a specific period of times.
Preferably between 3:00 & 4:00 PM PST, but hey. Beggars can't be choosers.
Of course, if no one's able, I'll just mosey my sorry ass over to the abundance of editing groups on the site, and humbly request someone who's able to. Or just command them with my most condescending tone, and threaten to evoke the wrath of the shooter if they don't devote their lives and very existence to my piece of My Little Pony fanfiction (place laughter or terrified quivers here).
But either way, I just thought it would only be fair to give you all the chance if you're interested. Of course, if you do, you'll also hear about a little "surprise" I may or may not put together for a Halloween update... or just an "October" update, depending on what I get done by/before Halloween.
I swear the chapters/chunks of chapters to be edited won't be longer than 10000 words this time, I swear.
2493479 Does this include upcoming chapter sizes for readers, or are we still to be expecting 30-40.000 word behemoths for forthcoming updates? Because I really love
your storycake; but preferably one that I can eat within an hour or approximately.Also I must sorrowfully decline your application as I do not fit within your preferred time scale. Good luck though, you handsome person you.
2494393 I don't know if I've mentioned this already, but there will be those large chapters. HOWEVER, they're not going to be released in the same masive chunks they've been released in thusfar. All upcoming updates will be for parts (likely to be between 3 or 5 as I never anticipated them to be split up like this... let alone this long) of the next chapter, which is aptly named "Faker in the Fabric Factory".
To further make my point, the part itself is complete, and will be a part of the larger chapter. And this part is currently standing between 8000 and 9000 words.
In other words, it's done. I just need to get it edited.
I, unfortunately, will neither be able to edit in that specific timeframe nor be able to edit for you currently; the former because that doesn't really mesh with my own schedule at this time, and the latter because I want to re-read the entire story before I do anything with any recent chapters.
However, when I DO get caught up I wouldn't mind doing editing for you, even if it'll most likely be after you post the chapter and/or on the weekends.
Also, do you mean 3-4 AM or 3-4 PM?

I am currently reading through the newly added chapter (nr. 23) and am enjoying it immensely. Everything about the wonderful late night reading I did with the story is coming back to me, the pictures I subconsciously conjured up when reading are all flowing back; the nostalgia, oooh the nostalgia!
It is truly blissful to finally being able to continue on with this epic tale you have set out to make. So, you know, keep up the stellar work.
One quick question though: Has this chapter been revised by an editor or was this one of the upcoming chapters you needed an editor for?

2497218 No, I was talking about the newest chapter, or rather the 1st part of the newest chapter, "The Faker in the Fabric Factory"... which if I didn't mention already, would be merged into different chapters as they came out. Either that or merged together at the very end.
But it has been edited... sort of. There's a copy being put through him.
Juuuust makin' sure.
