Call for Proofreaders! · 2:22am Oct 12th, 2016
I have an 8,000 word fimfic that's pretty much finished. I'm in need of feedback on it before I make my last-pass revisions and edits. It's in its sixth draft at the moment. If you'd like to give it an early read and offer me your feedback, please do leave a comment here or PM me to let me know, especially if you're experienced with proofreading.
Thank you so much! Now I just have to get good cover art for it and it'll be ready for publication soon. Hurray.
What's it about?

Dehydrated Twilight in a desert, on a mission to make peace with an enemy nation, hallucinates her dead brother.

Not like.... Cream and sugar, is it? Cuz I can help with my mad skills
4252343 Well, that sounds like a happy, feel-good story.
I can also proofread, if needed.
It's Onion Pie, the queen of tragedy porn, what were you expecting? A fluffy story about kittens?
I'd offer but it looks like you're well-taken care of.

Thank you both. I've sent you the link to the story. The story is a bit sad, yeah, but there's a whole lot more to it than that. Hopefully your feedback will help make sure that it's as good as it can be.

Yeah, I'm not exactly known for happy stories, am I? But hey, if you wanna help with proofreading, you're more than welcome to. There's no such thing as too many proofreaders.

Depends on what sort of turnaround you are looking at, and what level of proof-reading you are looking for. I'm 1.5 months into a 6 month secondment in the head office in London, so I may not be able to offer really fast turn around. But I can't imagine I won't be able to find a few hours in, say, a week to ten days.
As for proof-reading, obviously if you only want tradition proof-reading - grammar and spelling, that cuts down considerably on the workload projection.

A week to ten days may be a bit late; I hope to have the story published by then. You may just have to read it when everybody else does. I've already gotten a lot of great feedback on it, so I'm not desperate for more, though it's always appreciated. Cheers.

Cheerio and best of luck!
Ack, this is Desert Thing, isn't it! I'm sorry man, I haven't been around the site much these last 2 weeks. You know I'm up for another look at it.

It sure is Desert Thing. Hit me up on Skype sometime and you can give it that read.
