    The Mysterious Mare Do Well Returns

    After all this time, I’m going to try and get the Mysterious Mare Do Well up and running again. It’s been years I know and I don’t blame anyone for abandoning the fic as dead. Heck, I even labeled it canceled a while ago but I’m gonna try again.

    Wish me luck!

    Sleuth and Sons

    Sleuth and Sons is a bit of an experiment on my part, hence the Complete Status but the obviously expandable format. I kinda want to see if people want to read Something like it. If the response is favorable, I may do more of them. Each self contained but still linked to the other chapters.

    Not that anyone's gonna care by this point

    But I've decided to revamp Mysterious Mare Do Well, complete with full rewrite. I'll leave the old version up for posterity's sake but look for the new one soon.

    You need an editor

    If you look back through the comments on Rainbow Dash and her Marvelous Mechanical Wings, you'll be able to see no fewer than five instances of people telling me I need an editor, and every so often they'll site a few individual reasons why one is needed.

    For those I thank you.

You need an editor · 12:20am Jan 23rd, 2014

If you look back through the comments on Rainbow Dash and her Marvelous Mechanical Wings, you'll be able to see no fewer than five instances of people telling me I need an editor, and every so often they'll site a few individual reasons why one is needed.

For those I thank you.

But telling me I need to get an editor is all well and good. I have one now and he's looking over my old chapters to see what needs fixing. That said,

"Why?"

Now I understand that there will be continuity issues and little bit's of grammatical fuckery that will slip my notice, but I would like someone to take a look at my story and give me a straight up answer. Is it several small one off issues that I just missed in my writing? Or is it often repeated fallacies and consistent errors in my process?

Just an answer to that question will help me greatly in writing a better story for your enjoyment. I ask you to please take a moment and let me know.

also, critique and possible "better if"s would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time good readers.

When ever I suggest to someone to get a editor it's because I like their work and feel that it truly should be the best it can be. Often the best way of doing that is if they surround themselves with people that want to help and know how to help them e.g editors and proofreaders. Having a good support group can turn a decant story into an amazing one.
