Calling all my editors! (And anybody else that might be interested!) · 12:52am Jul 3rd, 2014

I just finished a one-shot.

The thing it? It's a Optimal verse short. One of the most controversial shared universes on this site...

And the whole story deals with religion.

Needless to say, with that recipe I'm sure won't cause any waves, I want a lot of feedback before posting. Because if this thing fails and costs me readers I want it to be on its own merits and not my piss-poor spelling, damn it.

The whole thing is clocks in at just short of 7.5 K words plus a small foreword, contains only OCs (plus public-domain characters) and is supposed to have a Teen rating when done.

The tags are: [Dark], [Human], [Comedy], [Adventure] and [Alternative universe].

Just leave me a comment here or send me a PM if you're interested. Just let me know if you wish to remain anonymous or not, given how controversial this one might be.

Sounds interesting, and I can at the very least leave feedback on spelling and grammar. It would be my first time editing something someone else had written, but I'm game.

Once more unto the breach, eh?

Sorry for not responding earlier; I was busy with that "sleeping" stuff.

I'd love to edit! Controversy is fun to get mixed up in. I'm assuming it's gdocs? And not written solely on Fimfic? If so, any email address is on my userpage; you can share it there.

I'd be perfectly willing!
Of course, I'm not exactly the most reliable person ever. If you absolutely, one-hundred percent need reviews from every single person who asks, I might not be able to fulfill the need (it's more likely than it was, though; I've finally got school to procrastinate).
Still, if you're fine with just sending it over to whomever wants a sneak peek, drop me a PM.
I'd like to note that I'm always freaked the fuck out by the Optimalverse, and with the exception of Caellum Est Torrens, I much prefer the Conversion Bureau (whose concept I detest with a passion, but the stories that are written for it seem to be almost consistently good).

Sounds good!

I'm assuming it's gdocs?

And indeed it is.

I've sent a PM with the link.

Eh. Some reputation better than nothing, I guess. Just grab everyone in here. The more the merrier.

Very nice. A couple of nitpicks, a couple of grammar/spelling errors, but decent mechanically. I'm not so sure about a couple things, but I left comments in the Doc (under Billy). I'd say that I look forward to it coming out, but... uh... yeah.

I'd say that I look forward to it coming out, but... uh... yeah.

Oh yeah, I fully expect at least a few to go all :flutterrage: on me... but my muse simply wouldn't stop poking me in the side about this story.

Hopefully more will like it then hate it... but then again isn't that what you want for every story you write?

2257050 well I meant more about I've already read the story, and there isn't much to look forward to, but yeah lets go with what you said. Also, thank you for telling about the stories that inspired you. I stayed up all night reading them, and now I'm late for work. I'm blaming you :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Anybody else that has anything more to add? Because if not, it seems as if DOA might be ready for import

2257742
I would like to know about those stories.

What does "DOA" stand for?

The concept of ****-****** ************** ***** ******** comes from Friendship Is Optimal: Caelum Est Conterrens by Chatoyance, mixed with *** ** *** from Friendship is Optimal - Firewall by Midnightshadow.

In the Afterword.

It's a rather massive spoiler if you actually know the tech-term, but I thought it was a cute little wink at the audience.

It means 'Dead On Arrival.' When a gizmo or whatever comes straight out of the box, but for some reason is still dead.

What he said.

Good mix of information and withholding of the same there, by the way. Props.
