Preferred Tags: Human, Crossover (Dependent on genre), Romance (, Comedy,

Will not edit these tags: Human (Conversion Bureau), Romance (I don't do mane 6 x mane 6 shipping).

I do have a caveat about dark and tragic stories. Dark needs to be tastefully done; as no crazy grim-dark where there is only war and dark and GRIMDARK. Likewise tragedy, don't come to me wanting me to edit a story where you replace character development, world building or an interesting premise with tons of tragedy just so the reader doesn't get bored.

Time(s) available: Varyingly  during the day (10am-8pm PST/GMT-8) on weekdays and generally available on weekends (a little advanced notice helps)

------

Editing style: I've found my niche in helping flesh out ideas, fixing spelling errors, theme work, and story planning. I can switch my style from brutally honest to gentle on request. It has also come to my attention that I tend to do extremely in-depth analysis and concept discussion. Be warned: I am a wordy FUCK.

Specialty/Preference: As long as it's not difficult grammar stuff I'm pretty open to things.

Don't worry, I don't bit, much. Bring booze, it helps!

Current 'To Do' List:

1) Analysis of new changes in Man, Mare, Machine

2) Analysis of characterization in Paladin's Cross

3) Full Analysis of Machine and Might

一)Fit time for my own writing in somewhere.

My Nefarious Plan · 8:59pm

So I'm going to have to head out of the country here for about a week. I'll have limited internet access and a lot of free time. "Uncle Shira, Uncle Shira," you ask, "What does this mean!?"

Well it means you're not going to get an update till about when I get back almost at the end of the month. That's the bad news. The good news is my outline is done and weighs about 5k words. Keep in mind that's just the outline. So when I get back given how much time I'm going to have to kill with pretty much no distractions, that means that I'm going to have 2-3 chapters for you. I figure that should get us through Hiro's introduction, and the story of how the two met.

To my poor long suffering editors, I'll post it in the usual place since I can just go to a hotspot nearby and upload them so you can rip me apart while I'm still working on things! I have to admit karma is a bit of a bitch.

To everyone else, that means you can ignore me for about a week. Lucky bastards.

Hearts, Hooves and Hands

An earth pony from the classical era once described life as a series of unexpected surprises. For some that’s more true than others. Luminescence knows this all too well. Falling in love with someone outside her species was never part of the plan. But love didn’t much care for her plans.

Likewise Hiro Blueforest only expected to do his graduate studies at Canterlot’s University for Advanced Magical Studies. Maybe research for a year or two and then return back to his people’s lands. Now his plans have been derailed and he finds himself stuck in between two cultures and pulled both ways by politics.

It’s not going to be easy for either of them, but the more difficult the problem, the greater the reward!

I'm not entirely sure. I know the instant I found Falling Stars I liked it but I don't think I ever followed you. Which is why when I noticed that I had to fix it :rainbowlaugh:.

I might have and something happened to unfollow you? I really have no clue but it's fixed now!

Hey, any chance you'd be able to help me with something? I have a story idea that I'm working on. It's well past the conceptual stage, but I'm still having trouble with the storyline. I know generally where I want the story to go, but I'm having trouble pinning down the details. Do you think you'd be able to help me with this? I'm afraid I may have gone about part of the story wrong and screwed up the whole idea as a result.

>>247270 Oh ok well I recommend that whenever you can to read the first chapter of my story which is already up and let me know what you think ok.

Then if you ever change your mind to help me out with my story which I am still learning to write as well just send me a message or leave a comment on my page here ok.

Unfortunately writing with someone takes an incredible amount of work and quickly becomes "too many chefs in the kitchen." I would potentially consider writing with a single other person if I knew their style and methods matched up with mine.

Moreover I still haven't read your story (it's on my to-do list) but haven't gotten there yet so I cannot comment as to whether the story would interest me enough to do so. Honestly though given that you already have two others and I'm not nearly confident in my own writing yet (working on something but haven't published it yet), I will have to beg off.

Hey there remember me by any chance? Of course you do anyways I just read your profile and what intrigued me was where it says that you'll edit stories for someone well I was wondering and feel free to say no if you don't want to.

But I was just wondering if you would like to have the privlege and honor of becoming one of my Co writers for my story that several other are helping me on called Scootaloo's Number one Fan by any chance.

If so I am going to need your email address so that I can add you on my gdocs list and and my gmail; contacts list as well.

But like i said feel free to say no if you don't want to I'll understand also if you want I am looking for one more Oc to complete my story as I already have two OC's NightmareMoon's (Ela) and RavenRegios (Chrome as well) so if you have an OC then I'll allow you to add yours in my story with those two ok.

Many thanks!:twilightsmile:

And as per your blog rules I'd like to request that you be as scathing as possible. Trust me when I say: I can take it.:rainbowdetermined2:

Hey! Glad to know that my inane ramblings have some sort of constructive value. I promised Willstob (>>236622) that I'd go over his first and I owe a quick perspective check to someone. I should get around to it tomorrow night (assuming I don't end up doing some sort of absurdly long analysis/rant/drunken rambling for Willstob).

I want to thank you for your analysis of my story so far:twilightsmile:. You've been an excellent source of constructive criticism, and  I appreciate you taking the time to comment on my stories shortcomings.:pinkiehappy: If you could message me on how my character interactions are coming off a little flat I would be greatly indebted to you.
