New Story - Editing Request

Hello Fimfiction!

As some of you may recall, around December last year I put up a rough poll regarding story ideas. I am a bit ashamed it took me almost a year to write even one of the story ideas, but I found myself in a bit of a drought part way through the year. Sometimes it was simply a lack of free time, sometimes it was a lack of creativity.

Still, I have written a new story, and it's now entered the final stage of my usual writing process: technical editing. I try to do the best I can in this regard myself, but I also know spotting technical errors is one of my personal weak points. So, as I've done in the past, I'm posting this blog post to see if anyone may be interested in lending me a hand.

The details of the story are below. If you are interested in helping out, please drop a comment. In return for the editing help, you get to read the story early, drop any additional comments you like in the google docs, and get credited as an editor on the story. Thank you again, everyone, for your continued support. I'm sorry I haven't been putting out more stories, but I do hope you enjoy the one that will be coming out very soon.

Thanks again! I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and has an enjoyable November!

Elixir Master

When Fluttershy introduced Mage Meadowbrook to Zecora, it was with the hope of fostering friendship. Yet, an unfortunate mishap and bitter words have led to something far different. In disrespect and rivalry, the gauntlet is thrown. There will be a duel, and Discord is more than happy to turn such a rare occurrence into the spectacle it deserves to be. Can Fluttershy, Twilight, and Pinkie help mend the budding friendship between Zecora and Meadowbrook? And what about Discord? Does he wish to fuel the flames of rivalry, or does he have a larger plan in store?

In the spirit of arena culinary combat, it’s time for Elixir Master!

I'd be happy to help however I can.

[Wanderer D]

You know where to find me :P

[Boof Man]

Sounds interesting, I'll follow whenever it's released.

Technical editing is one⁽*⁾ of my weaknesses⁽¹⁾, or I'd be more than happy to fling myself into this. I'm more of a gadfly editor, and far too pushy at times. "Did you really mean to use 'moved' there? Wouldn't 'flowed' work better?"
(*) Of far, far too many.
(1) Footnotes are another, I'm afraid.

[Skeeter The Lurker]

If only I had time or skill... Still...

Can't wait to see it up!

I hope I can be of use. I've been proofing reads in this fandom for... sheesh, has it really been that long?

[Fluttershylover3]

sounds like something id read and am mainly free

[NebulaNyx]

Im currently trying to finish my last uni assessment for the year and get ready for my first Teaching placement, but I would be happy to take a look and see what I can find.

[James Fire]

Oooooh, this could be interesting. I'll take a look if you'll have me.

[Atom Smash]

I'd love to help you out but I have a bit to much on my plate at the moment.

I can take at it if you want, but I won't go in depth.

Either way, good luck.

[Purple Pony]

Probably not a good idea to have a math major edit literature.
A cooking show, but with potions. Sounds like fun.

[Shakespearicles]

Sign me up!

[BronyWriter]

I'm up for it.

[SuperSaiyanGodzilla]

So no Past Sins sequel?

[BronyHawk30]

Would if I felt I had the time, but a bit busy with work and other things right now. I look forward to seeing the end result, though

Footnotes are not a weakness!!!

[Caligari87]

I'd be happy to help out.

[Rayvinne]

I know you said you've found enough, but if you happen to need another I'd be happy to help! I recently pre-read and edited Drops of Jupiter by PaulAsaran if you'd like an example of something I have worked on.

I look forward to reading it! Cheers

[MegaBrony95]

If you still need any more editors, I suppose I can help. It'll help take my mind off some things.

[TheOneAJ]

Sure, I’d love a chance to work with you :)

[TheTownCrier]

I can help.

[SashimiPony]

I'm a bit late, but if you still need editors, I'd be happy to help. Also I don't know if this was a test, my laptop is pranking me, or if I'm reading too far into this but in the phrase

Key Characters
Zecora Meadowbrook, Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie, Trixie, and Discord.

there should be a comma between Zecora and Meadowbrook.

[Sage Wolf]

I'm afraid that I'm not that good at editing, but if I'd be happy to help if you need a proofreader.

[BirdsBooksBrownies]

If you want another helper, I'd be honored to do what I can.
