Editors Needed! · 11:40pm Aug 19th, 2013
So, I require some help. I got a notice back from EQD on Hooves Holding Hearts. They like it, they really do. It just needs to be polished up some. Is anyone willing to help me go through it? I've gone through all of it in pen once, but I could use some back-up. The story's very personal to me (for obvious reasons) and I want to share it with the larger community.
In any case, thanks to everybody who's supported me with a kind word or a thumbs up so far on it. I promise you, Chapter Three will punch you in the heart.

I'd love to help, but in the short term, my browser is giving me trouble. where are you thinking of hosting the editing process? Gdocs?

Thanks Bunches! Yeah, GDocs is too useful not to use.
Did EQD indicate what was lacking specifically?
What did they say the problem was? I am afraid I probably would not notice some of the things EQD is a stickler for, without some kind of indication of what it is they think is the problem.

I figured
I guess send me the link and I'll get there as soon as I'm able.

Apparently
* Spacing
* Dialogue punctuation (a few lines were missing quotation marks at the ends of sentences)
* Capitalization
* Its/it's confusion
* Comma use
* Hyphen/dash confusion
Also, apparently I sometimes jump to side character's perspectives unnecessarily. I'm not sure about that one.

Spacing?

Think I triple-spaced sometimes by accident instead of double-spacing.

Funny thing, you don't actually have to double space at all. It's a holdover from the typewriter, but is not necessary when typing on a computer. Though I would probably makes sure EQD agrees first.
I'm a little late here, so I trust you've found someone satisfactory for this, right? I'd certainly be willing to give it a pass over if you're still looking for someone; H^3 is wonderful and being able to help bring it to it's highest form would be an honor. If someone else already has it covered though, that's fair.
Either way, best of luck on getting onto EqD!
