Editor/Prereader(s) Wanted for New Story · 6:58am Mar 14th, 2018

I've been working on a new story. I need one or two people to look it over. The outline can be found over here, and I have written a test description for it;

Tidally Locked

[Adventure/Slice of Life][Drama][AU]

A long time ago, there were two sisters: one with dominion over the day, and the other with command of the night. They quarreled and fought. To solve their dispute, they stopped the rotation of the planet—tidally locked it—so that one side would always be night, and the other always day.

Rarity is a member of the Corona Empire's parliament, sworn to serve her country and do what is best for it. One day, Queen Celestia summons her for a private talk. She asks Rarity to do something unthinkable, unfathomable, unheard of: deliver a message to the leader of the Nightscape, Queen Luna.

Obviously all this is tentative.

Main responsibilities would be:
* Checking the outline for major plotholes/derps.
* Noting areas which could use more description or which are too beige/hard to follow.
* Generally noting my laziness.
* Typos and the like.
* Etc.

The first draft is not finished yet, but the current plan is for about seven chapters at ~1,400 words each.

If interested, comment below or PM me. Thanks in advance for any interest. :twilightsmile:

As long as you keep it under 20 chapters I'm game. I only mention it because the last time I offered a 3 chapter turned into more like 50. Not that I overly minded, I just want to know what I'm getting into before commiting to the long haul.

Let me see next week. I'm trying to get some stuff done first.

Did you find somepony, or can I unlock that time slot?

4816899 4818378 I actually had a job interview today, so I'm waiting to hear back from them and see what my schedule is like, before committing more time to this.

Thanks for being interested, but please don't wait on my account if you have other projects to commit to :twilightsmile:

Okay, I'm game. The main responsibilities you've listed sound like something up my alley. But I have to warn you that the only thing I've ever written is a 1000-word trollfic - which succeeded at what I was going for, but still.
