Looking for an editor. Please help?

[adorablebaseballgirl]

I'm going to try to submit my first story, but I don't know if it's totally crap or if it's good.
I'd really like an honest editor, but not someone totally brutal.

It's a father/daughter incest (my main kink). With some reluctance, group (also incest), and kinda voyeur. About a mother finding home made sex tapes of her husband and daughter.

Please respond if you're interested.
If you're not, you can gladly take your thoughts elsewhere.

Thank you.

Personal messages on, length, copy/literary, ect.

Meantime, I do a bit of father/daughter porn, so I'm happy to tell you if it sucks or not. And if it's burtal, I'll just keep my mouth chut.

I voted "Eh?" on your poll.

The story idea is a cliche. Everything on this site is. So the question isn't, "Is your story a cliche"; it's, "What twists are you throwing in to set it apart from the pack?" And you didn't say anything about that. So, I have no idea if your story is interesting. *shrug*

I'm not sure how to turn PMs on. I've never posted on the forums here before.
Length: 5 pages on word, 2,592 words according to the counter.

Kinda nervous.

If everything on the site is a cliche´ then there's no big deal about it.

I'm no expert, but I have
browsed the site quite a
bit and read my fair share
of stories...with that said,
I'd be happy to take a
look and let you know
what I think.

This should help you a little bit.

This is not a site for cliche's though. This is a site for writing, and trying to avoid cliche's. We need to avoid them so we can keep things fresh. Is it a huge deal? Only if you want people to keep reading. And do make sure to avoid telling your story in the second person. Learned my lesson the hard way on that, I think.

Why post a poll then? Why get an editor who's going to tell you that everything you write is wonderful? Most editors you find on this site aren't going to be 'brutal', they'll just tell you why your writing isn't sexy.

Depending on how the author feels about their own work, that alone can be quite brutal. But if you're not willing to put up with the harsh criticisms as well as the gentle, how will you ever face disgruntled readers?

Brutal can be good too, though. Sometimes writing is about licking your wounds.

Wiklund, I probably should of PMed you this question, but I'm a little lazy. Are you in fact the P. Wiklund who trained at Sam Houston medic school circa '05, '06? Just curious.

So let's say your story is crap. Maybe there are tense changes, incorrect punctuation and grammar, boring characters, etc. throughout the piece. The editor offers suggestions, make comments, and tells you it needs a lot of work before it could be submitted in their opinion.

That's being honest.

I'm thinking after reading your post you would consider that brutal.

Au contraire. While it's true every story on this site is a cliche, it's not true that every story on this site is boring. The two are quite independent.

Look, here's a story idea. It's about a guy and a girl who fall in love even though they come from different classes in their society. Unfortunately, they're also on a sinking boat, so one of them dies. Does that sound boring and cliche to you? It does to me. How much money would you expect it to make? In the end, it made over $1 billion; it's the highest-grossing movie in recorded history. It's called Titanic, and the reason it was successful was because it took old cliches and did a whole Extreme Makeover on them. Suddenly they seemed new and interesting... and, suddenly, the old boat floated again. (And yes, I bawled my eyes out when it sank.)

If you want people to read and enjoy your story, you will need to innovate and throw new twists at old ideas. And the reason I rated you "Eh?" is because, again, you said nothing about how (or if) you plan to do that. (And frankly I was nicer to you than your other two respondents.) In the end, it's not about how you fit in; it's about how you stand out.

Wow. How long did it take you to read every story on this site?

Elementary, my dear Watson. One must build a steam powered reading robot to parse the data.

Throwing 'cliche' around doesn't really say anything about the stories posted to this site.

The original Titanic was sooo much better. "Norman! Nooo!" I cried buckets.

I'm new at this, but I'll read it and give you my opinion - and try to help.
I wouldn't be mean about it, but if I "didn't get it" or "think it was sexy", I'd ask for clarification on the objective of a scene phrase etc.
Let me know.

nope, not me.

I am, not actually. I have only met one other Wiklund in the Army, and he spelled his name different. He was a Major when I was a private in Bosnia and we were both shocked that there was another in the Army. You have managed to shock me again. Thanks, I will see if I can look him up on AKO.
