So, I'm gonna get an update out tonight, but it's taking way too long. Here's part of the issue...
So I am looking for someone that would like to help me with my next story, based on the Power Ponies. My problem is I'm scared people won't like it, it's boring, the writing is sloppy a lot of things.
The story is not yet finished yet, but I am very close to the end of the first chapter so I'd like to find someone now and not worry about waiting!
Chapter 5 of Ask Roseate Grimsbane is now ready to be looked at by the editor and proofreader(s), and I have a big headache.
While I am tired, I am glad to say it is done. I did receive some word back from TheDizzyDan, who might be able to proofread this chapter after all.
Today, or rather whenever I get proofreaders and publish the story, I make the first of it's kind. A Generation 5 story, I'm looking for proofreaders to help me and edit some of my work. If you wouldn't mind reading or editing this story; which you also get credit for, please message me!
So! My good pal Robipony just released his new Grimdark comedy The Smiling Stallion. The writing and editing for it are still going on, but the first two chapters have been released, both of which I've edited. Of course, you ought to read it because it's enjoyable, not just because I worked on it. Check it out! (Not linked because it's rated mature for lovely, wonderful gore and violence.) Even if you don't like gore so much, you may find it really entertaining. I'm not a gore
In my newsfeed, I heard the user Hoopsy request for an editor for the first chapter of their fanfiction and was luckily able to answer the call. I myself am enjoying the story so far despite not being my element in comedy and romance. I am really looking forward to seeing what our author has in store for us. Do check out the first chapter; it has just passed moderation.

Proofreading Volume 2 has made me develop a newfound appreciation for how far I have come in terms of the quality of my writing. A big part of why editing it has been such a slog is how much harder it is to have to read through chapters that are not quite up to snuff with what I've been churning out in recent years. To quote Ben Yahtzee Croshaw...
"99% of all creators loathe everything they made more than 5 years ago and the remaining 1% are liars!"
So, with Chapter 4 of The Changeling That Bugged My Heart going up, I had to realise a few things.
First, never give a longass title to your fic...well, next time.
Second, from the incoming PMs and comments on my sub par grammar (which I'm glad you guys don't fail to notify me of...keep them coming if you find something's off), I came to a decision that this is no system for this, and it looks very unprofessional.
Hey all! It’s been a while, hasn’t it. A lot’s been going on. Drank a lot of tea.
I have officially graduated with an associate’s degree in arts with a focus on writing! Hooray! I have a job as a writing tutor now, and have been editing professionally as a side job for about a year. So, where does that leave my ponyfic proofreading?
I can proofread and have proofread before. No idea why I'm saying this in a blog while I have no followers, but hey, why not?
*fans self* Jeese, you guys sure are laying on the pressure thick aint ya? I best step up my game and stop screwing around. I honestly didnt think id even get this far but I will try my best to be worthy of your attention. Please keep letting me know what my stories do and dont do well. The feedback on The First Law has been very enlightening and ive learned alot! I had hoped to do another suggestion thing for 300 but i've still got to finish the last batch I did around 250. So around 350 or a
The other fanfic is on hiatus. But, I am working on another, and would greatly appreciate a proof reader.
Simply contact me at cottonbloom300@gmail.com if you're interested :D However, I'll be looking for an experienced proofreader, meaning, you have proofread before (atleast one time) and are reliable (meaning you won'y give away the fanfic access code or anything that involves completely changing the fanfic.)
Sorry everyone for the lack of updates. There has been some stuff going on here and I kinda had to do some running around to get things done as well as trying to figure out a way to proceed with some of the stories.
I'll be trying to get updates ready as soon as possible but it might take a while. I am really sorry about this. I'll also try to get more than one chapter sent at a time if possible.
Hi there!
So i finished rewriting the prologue for my story and am now needing an Editor who is willing to go through it to help clear up grammatical errors. I am looking for someone who speaks and writes English as a primary language rather than a secondary, or who is as proficient in English as a native speaker.

Hello again to all of my faithful followers and supporters. I have a mission and I need your help to do it. As of now, I have pushed myself to perfect my writing style as much as I can, and it has come to my attention that there is still more room for improvement. However, I cannot reach these new heights on my own, and thus, I am asking some of you for help in making my stories even better then they already are.
Hey everyone, here with another update.
For no particular reason and totally at random, I have updated Waiting On Death to make the footnotes more readable, correct a few minor errors, and indicate the correct chapter on Binky Pie by Miyajima where it references the last update.
Feeling down. Killing my inspiration. Need to do edits for Chasing The Briny Neighsayer. Apparently it's close to making it to EQD. Shopping for proofreaders and editors if you know any into pirates!
If anyone can clear this up for me, I will appreciate it.
I have found while proofreading Volume 2 that after editing the text and adding more where needed, I find that the word count is smaller than it was before by several hundred words. And it even seems to apply with chapters before I swap out the old text for the new.
