Back from Everfree Northwest, Editing Request · 10:03am May 21st, 2018
I will write a proper con report tommorrow; right now, I'm actually trying to get some writing done.
Oddly, while going through my in-progress fanfiction folder, I found both a revised version of Power of Attorney, a story about Rainbow Dash asking Twilight to sign documents granting her power of attorney in case some horrible accident happened while Rainbow Dash was in the Wonderbolts, a story called To Be A Dragon, which was an old writeoff entry that I apparently wrote a revised version of and then never sent out for editing, about Twilight and Rarity setting up Spike and Ember to go to the Grand Galloping Gala together. Both are very short stories (just over 1,000 words and just over 1,800 words respectively) but they're both pretty close to done.
Would anyone be willing to read over one or both and give me some feedback on them?
EDIT: I realized what was wrong with Power of Attorney. I'm going to have to revise it; turns out I'm not on top of my game at 3 am after going to a con all weekend and forgot what it was that was bugging me about it.
Both sound interesting to me. I'd be willing to edit them today, but I'm at work for now. After that, I need to do some yard work. I could have them edited by 6:30pm EDT (12 hours from now) if that is soon enough.
I’m down; I’ll have plenty of time later today.
(I know I might not seem like a good editor given my penchant for shitfics, but ask yourself how often those stories have grammatical errors? ( I know there’s more to editing than grammar but you get my point.))
If you're up for setting a time to actually speak with me (via discord, skype, what have you), I'd be happy to. I'm not a huge fan of copy editing (I call it red-penning), I prefer to actually read through stories with the authors so I know exactly what they're looking to say instead of just marking things up with assumptions.
