Editor Wanted for Iota Force Series · 9:37am Jul 17th, 2023
So, I've had the next Iota Force story written for a long, long time now, but haven't been able to get it edited yet. And, well, it seems like my previous editor isn't really likely to be able to do so in the future. Completely understandable, of course - much as I love writing kid-pony-superhero stories, I can't exactly claim they're important enough to warrant disrupting a busy life, plus this next one's big even by my ridiculously long-winded standards - but pretty inconvenient.
So, I figured I'd ask here first of all if anyone's interested in helping out. Not exactly expecting much since, again, this one has almost one-and-a-half times the words of the already-overlong previous story and that's not a light thing to ask of anyone, but hey, you never know. Also, hopefully it'll do something to explain the lack of stories for the past couple of years, for which I can only apologize. Not that I'd imagine it bothered anyone, but better to have an explanation and apology and not need it...
Apologies, I am not really available for a roughly 135-kiloword story. (Also I haven't actually read Crystal Caves yet either.
) If all else fails, you could release this one unedited.
I completely support this decision, and I'm sorry for my laziness.

Hey, laziness nothing - if not being able to edit a story over a quarter the length of The Lord of the Rings is lazy, there are probably very few diligent people on Earth. This is not anything that can be blamed on you, I promise you.

It's beginning to seem like that's gonna be the only way. I mean, normally I'd be... well, I wouldn't be happy about it - I'd ask three editors and a proofreader to look over my shopping lists if it were feasible - but I'd be okay with it. Thing is, though, this is... kind of a really important entry in the series and the culmination of the first (to use to the term loosely) arc... and also has a particular point that, at the very least, could very easily come across as stupid, so I really, really want to have a second pair of eyes on it.
Still, better that it come out imperfect than never at all, might end up having to just bite the bullet and do it. Still, figured I'd try for a hail mary.
