[ALL SLOTS TAKEN] Give Me Stuff to Edit · 12:30pm Dec 20th, 2016
I'm tired of feeling useless. Writing has all I ever known as a skill, but I haven't really bothered to fucking write new words lately, so the next best thing for me is to help others with their stories. Spotting error mistakes, giving feedback on the story in general, offering suggestions, whatever.
I'm not new to this editing. I've helped authors like Rated Ponystar and Flint Sparks whenever they need some pre-reading or editing done, so if you doubt me, ask them.
Keep in mind that I won't be able to help everybody at once. This will be on a first come, first serve business AND whether my interest in your story is substantial. Of course, doesn't mean you have to be afraid to ask me. Chances are I won't reject it outright.
Anyway I guess I should put down some slots I guess. I'll be only handling three at a time as a start.
SLOT 1: Rose the Reindeer
SLOT 2: twilightsparkle3562
SLOT 3: Rubahhitam
EDIT: As an additional requisite, the story can not exceed 4 chapters. I simply don't have the time to dedicate to much larger stories.
EDIT 2: All slots are currently taken now. Sorry to those I was in the middle of discussing about their stories with, but these were the first three to provide accessible links to stories I'm interested in.
You should advertise your editing stuff in my groups. There are a lot of people looking for editors. :)
So will it just be editing period, or is there room for co-writing also?
4347796 Can you do it for me, Lyra?
4347941 I don't think I can dedicate time to co-writing at the moment.
4348286 I'm not sure how to ask though. :/
Like if you gave me something to type I would share it in all of my groups.
4348346 Just link back to my blog and uh post this part.
4348380 Okay. I shared. :)
Hi, do you think you can help with my fic, Hunters?
4348487 Hmm that's quite a handful of chapters, but I'm interested in the story. Do you want me edit new chapters or the current ones?
If you or anypony else have too much time on your hooves, my story Living With Darkness is always up for editing. No commitment needed.
4348953 Wow this story is so huge, the words aren't even loading.
4349064 Yeah, I know. I really should get a life.
Either way, this is just in case you ever get bored. Don't feel obliged to do anything you don't enjoy.
Hey, can you edit my Lightning Dust story?
4348526 The older ones. There wont be any new chapters until I get a new charger.
4349096 Alright I'll take a look at it.

Well as fun as it might be to take on both your stories, I don't think I have the time to actually dedicated to multiple chapters. I'll probably have to stick to stories with a few or oneshots. Sorry guys.
I have three stories that could use some editing. I'll give a short description here for each of them, but feel free to check out any of them in their entirety.
Detective Bloom & the Discarded Diamond: A noir-type story narrated from Applebloom's perspective as she investigates a murder.
"The Ballad of Sir Percheron": A story told in poem-style about a knight from the past who travels through time in search of purpose.
Sweat, Tears, and a Video: A Hearts & Hooves Day themed story centered around Sweetie Belle and a note she gets from a secret admirer. Rated E, but it's an anthro story. Just letting you know ahead of time.
The stories range in length from fourteen hundred to just under three thousand words, so none of them are too terribly long.
Hope I can make it on your list! Even if I don't, thanks for the opportunity.

4349813 Out of all of these, I'll probably go for the first story.
4349835 Does that mean I'm on the list? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I have a terrible tendency to misinterpret things. I'd rather know I'm wrong than think I'm right.
-Ru
4349847 Yeah I'll put you on the list.
4349848 Then all I can say is...
and thank you!
-Ru
4349614 No prob. I just wanted to throw it out there, just in case you were dying of boredom. I'm glad for you that that's not the case.
4349614 Oh. Okay. Thank you any way.
