Interested in helping others? Interesting in being helped? This is the place for you!

FAQ (that you should read):

What is this group?

This group is a center for aspiring fanfiction writers and aspiring fanfiction reviewers to help each other in making MLP fanfiction better, and in turn, bettering their own skills.

What exactly is a proof-reader, editor, and pre-reader?

Well, within the group they tend to mean this:

Proof-reader:

Looks through the story with the main goal to tackle grammar and spelling errors. They don't heavily change things, rather, just take a look at errors. Kind of the "middle-man" between editors and pre-readers, as proof-readers should also provide an opinion on the piece.

Editor:

Focuses more heavily on errors, and less on opinions. Editors should be well acquainted with the English language and its in's and out's.

Pre-reader:

Focuses on giving a well thought opinion on the piece, and hardly detects errors. The pre-reader should definitely give a lot of feedback on what they thought of the piece, using both good and bad (if applicable) examples.

Please note:

You can be a editor and do opinions, and be a pre-reader and look through errors, but please make sure to do your job first. We are always fine with going above and beyond the minimum!

Okay, so how do I make a request?

First, join the group. Then make sure you read the general rules of posting (located at the bottom of this page!). After that, mosey on over to a reviewer's page (make sure they are the type of reviewer you want) and post your story using the posting guidelines on every reviewer's page. Make sure to read what they specifically do as a reviewer, and what they do and don't want in a story. It's better to post your story to someone who is more interested in your type of story than to someone who isn't, as reviewers might not want to review your work.

Okay, so how do I become a reviewer?

First, join the group. Then make sure you read the general rules of posting (located at the bottom of this page!). After that, mosey on over to the applications thread. From there, post your information (what specific information you need is located in the OP of the thread) and wait until an admin approves you. Further instructions are in the thread.

The reviewer didn't review my story! :(

Aww, no need to fret! First, make sure you replied to them in their thread. Mistakes do happen. Then, wait a couple days. If they haven't replied after a few days, contact one of the admins and we'll take care of it. :)

Rules:

-Don't be a jerk. Obviously. We will ban you.

-(Almost) every ban has one warning first.

-Report admin abuse to Master Lyra

-Report rule breaking (not just these rules; rules in thread also apply) to an admin (please don't be spamming the mods though)

-Don't be afraid to contact an admin (or Master Lyra) if there is a problem. We won't bite. Alternatively, don't bug the admins continuously.

-Before contacting an admin, make sure you read the reviewer's (or any other thread's) information thoroughly.

-Please do actually review work that is in your reviewer's thread

Have fun!

I have a question. Are we suppose to request after we have our stories are done, or can we send them chapter by chapter? Or is it pretty much reviewer specific and the answer isn't the same for everyone?

Need a pre-reader for a new story, is this the right place to ask?

The end of my time here -

I have recently discovered that I no longer have the time to help new authors as I have in the past. Anyone that I have been assisting long term will be continued, but I am afraid that I can no longer take on new projects.

Good luck to both the authors and the reviewers, I wish you well.

I'm not sure that I need an editor, but I feel like I definitely need a pre-reader. I have the epilogue set up and ready, but honestly have no clue what I'm supposed to do on this page to get your attention.

>>304899 HI, i don't know if i'm doing this right, if i'm not i'm sorry. :fluttershysad:

I have a fic that i've worked really hard on, it's been up on the site about three times but i've taken it down becouse i didn't want to confuse people with all of the edits i've made.

I don't want to put it up, but i want someone to review it... can i send it to someone via email and get it reviewed that way?
