I need an editor! · 10:26pm Oct 21st, 2012
OK, so multiple people have told me that I should get an editor. So, I'm going to find an editor! Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to go about that. So, I'm going to ask all of you! Any editor-people out there that would like to help?
If I can get one, I have no idea how it would work. Obviously, I have never had an editor, because this is my first published story. Hopefully it can be explained as I go.
Thank you all for your time. Now go away.

I'll apply.
Is an Editor like a Proof reader?
438598 Huh. That was quick. Alrighty then, again, I have no idea what I'm doing, so you might have to explain. I suppose its pretty simple, just post the chapter but don't publish and send you the link or something...?
438613 I still wouldn't be able to see it because the whole story is already published (Unless I'm thinking of a different author). The best thing I can think of is either type up the chapter in Google Documents and allow comments, but require a password. Send me the link and password and I'll point out mistakes so that you can make corrections and then publish the chapter.
That, or you can type up the chapter and then copy/paste the text into a private message here on FimFiction and let me do the same with the first option.
438637 I'll probably use the second option, mainly because I've never used Google Docs
438644 Oki doki loki! Would you like me to go over the first chapters?
438667 sure. Not sure what will happen when that is done, but OK :D
438687 I'll just restructure everything so it lows more smoothly. Your plot points will remain untouched, but it'll be hard not to edit out some of the intense details (Do we really need to know exactly how much of what ammo the Spartans grabbed?). I'll start on it later tonight or tomorrow since I have somewhere to be in a bit.
438701 About the ammo, yes. They'll have to run out eventually, and I want to be able to keep track.
