May be in need of an editor. · 11:59am Apr 5th, 2012
Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
As I've been constantly telling you guys, I'm part of the PonyFall collaboration. I've joined their pre-reader team and I am about to get flooded with fics that need editing. I want to still pump out my chapters for you guys but I won't have time to proofread my own fics. If anyone is interested in being a pre-reader/editor for me please don't be shy and just shoot me a PM.
Chapter 2 of Pacific Paradise will be out shortly, and I mean REAAAALLY shortly.

and let me guess: al the ponyfall fics are still the freaking same.
58433 well yes, except they are all now being triple checked for quality and only contain main ponies, with a few obvious exceptions.
IF NO ONE else offers help i could check for spelling or grammar errors for you. I cannot say how much free time i actually have, and besides reading an unhealthy amount of books, i have 0 experience with editing or doing anything of this sort. so I can help, but really only if you are desperate.

No one has offered as of yet. I only ask because I really want this story to be the best I can make it, but I cannot do a million things at once.
I have a few hints:
all the ponyfall fics go like this:
-first we see the live of a brony.
-then the brony finds a (naked) girl-pony somewhere after the pink sky happened
-brony takes pony and gives clothes while they are complete strangers
-sometimes: brony doesn't believe the pony is really from Equestria
-brony is persuaded that the pony ís really from Equestria
maybe some of these ideas can help:
-police officer has to deal with an arrested girl who was taken in for public nudity, and has no recollection on how
she got there. police officer -brony or not - slowly starts to realize wat is going on and tries to help her
-The CIA gets involved and tries to bring the ponies together and find a way to bring them back
-stories located outside of the US: think about australia, japan, the EU and others.
-hasbro gets involved and tries to find out how in earth Equestria is real, and more importantly, how
someone got stories about that that Hasbro animated.
59631 that's the very reason i am hesitant to help, if i am going to commit to something i want to make sure I will actually benefit it.
my lack of experience and uncertain free time is the only thing holding me back from fully offering my services. but if you don't get someone else i can make time. i really do want to help, but don't think i am the best choice.

While I agree that all of the PonyFall fics have characters that are too easily persuaded (mine as well), I have to say that [at least for mine] this is only because (I) wanted the story to continue along a different path. I realize that in the real world, things would happen a bit differently, but to further the actual plot that I and other PonyFall authors have created, certain real world procedures had to be brushed aside. For example, I'm not stupid enough to just put two strange girls into my car and take them home. I might drive them to a hospital or call the ambulance but never take them home, especially if their life was in danger and especially not if they were totally nude. I did so however, to quicken the progression of the story and cement my character's place in it.

I'm a firm believer that any and all help is welcome. I do have to say that most of the time I don't misspell words but I do use improper sentence structure, especially when I'm rushing through something. In fact, I was terrified yesterday because of the fact that I pumped out chapter 2 in such a short amount of time.
59639 "In fact, I was terrified yesterday because of the fact that i pumped out chapter 2 in such short amount of time"
ha ha
Redundant use of "fact"
But seriously, if you decide you want my help let me know!

See? Running on 3 hours of sleep is bad.
