Helped with small things that I missed and larger things I needed to address.

I didn't have much to edit, so it's kind of hard to say how you helped. :derpytongue2: All I know is that you did, and I'm grateful for it!

Title: Fallout Equestria: Emergence

Tags: Adventure, Crossover, Dark, Gore (though, not extremely gory or dark so far).

Rating: Mature

General Summary/Description:

“The Lightbringer has risen, the Enclave has fallen. Equestria is on the threshold of a new era. This is all very poetic, but KnickKnack is a pony with ambitions and he intends to pursue them. Question is - is he willing to pay the price?”

Emergence is a spinoff for Fallout: Equestria, large focus on the changes coming across the Equestrian Wasteland and how the characters are affecting that future, whether they intend to or not.

What type of help are you looking for? While I'm looking for a pre-reader or proof-reader, you may be able to help me out with how I structure certain descriptions, or perhaps some of the grammatical and otherwise errors that I'm not seeing.

Information the reviewer needs in order to review your work:
-I’m looking for editing for what I’ve already written, but if you’re interested in helping me out long-term, that’d be much appreciated. Currently, the story is at about 15,000 words. The finished fic itself will probably be fairly long.
-It’s set in the Fallout: Equestria universe, but if you’re not familiar with Fallout or FoE, that won’t be a problem so long as you’re not put off by it.

Specific things you want the reviewer to focus on: Integral descriptions. Where they’re needed or could be improved, particularly with ponies. As well as that, anything that leaps out and says ‘Whoa, why’d you put this in here?’ I’m also looking for feedback on ideas for things I want to implement in the story that I haven’t locked in yet, largely for way ahead. I may also need help on formatting, because I'm not 100% confident I'm doing it right, though nobody's complained.

Other important information: I’m a somewhat sporadic writer. I don’t write extremely quickly and tend to work in chunks on the weekends. I progressively put updates on GDocs and find it works well to allow people to comment on it.

Form of communication you want to use with your reviewer: FiMFiction PM or G-docs, unless you have a strong preference otherwise.

Title: Fallout Equestria - Torn Skies

Tags: Adventure, Alternate Universe Crossover, Dark, Sex, Gore

General Summary/Description: The Canterlot Ghoul Batpony Natasha finds out, her entire life was a lie. Everything she remembered was just a story made up by a pervert to keep her as his personal pet.
She couldn't stay in the dead city anymore. Disgust and the will to regain herself drive her out into the Equestrian Wasteland, but she wasn't prepared for what she was about to find. Curiosity, hate, pain and the drive to become her true self again make her drift through the east of Equestria, until she found out a part of herself, she actually wanted to stay lost: She played a part in the Great War and wasn't innocent about the worlds state herself.
Yet there was a legend of a land, that still was as happy and clean, actually free of radiation: Equestria Valley. The need for redemption drives her to search the illusive paradise, to find out it's secret and spread it across the burnt world.
A quest like that was destined to bee too much for one pony, even is there was more to this one, than it met the eye. Followers came and went, finding out sharing her path was just as dangerous as crossing it.

Information the reviewer needs in order to review your work: I'm German and I might need some general help with my English expression.

Specific things you want the reviewer to focus on (optional): Besides general language and grammar, I'd like you to have an eye on the correct usage of phrases and terminology. Meaning I'd like you to watch that I use the same capitalisation on the same term over the entire story.

Other important information: I won't actually publish anything, until I have at least 100 proof read pages DIN A4. Google Docs is not an option to me. I write in LaTeX (TeXStudio + MiKTeX) and save my work in my Dropbox while it's WIP. I'm currently working on the story and it's going to take quite a while, until it will be finished. I have a day job so I don't always have the time to write at all, so there might be a hiatus every now and then.

Form of communication you want to use with your reviewer: I'd prefer Skype as in TEXT message Skype, not voice communication. If that's not an option, I'd give out my e-mail to keep in contact.
