Beautiful Editors - Help me out!

[FreakMyWhatNow]

Hello

I am currently trying to expand on some ideas within my writing. I need help working out which parts of the stories could be expanded on.

BDSM stuff mostly, but I do write other things - I just don't post them here.

I don't give a hoot about my possessives and I hate apostrophes so I apologise for my dodgy punctuation.

I dont use American spelling as Im Australian so use your Uuuuuu and get rid of those Zzzz.

If you feel like helping me out, let me know, and I can beg you in private

Ta muchly

Freak.

Then why bother with an editor?

Then why bother with an editor?

Because an editor ident just for working on their punctuation and grammer. It's also about helping to develop their story lines.

"ident"?

"ident"?

Bronze, "ident" is slang for "is not". Can't believe you didn't know that, or couldn't figure it out.

Luckily I'm "izzy".

Please tell us you're kidding. Or you're a product of the Obama administration, just have so much time on your hands because entitlements are paying all your bills, even your drug habit.

Seems to me if you're so flush with Obama cash you can afford to pay for editorial services.

ahhhh... you are truly special

 

[AsylumSeeker]

No, not really. But come on, you start a thread on the Editors Forum asking for help but not editorial help. Kind of like going to a burger joint asking for fish.

As an editor I can't look at a story without seeing the mistakes, and can't look past them. I'm sure the others are the same way.

Already I've wasted too much time.

 

[FreakMyWhatNow]

Of course I was asking for editorial help.

It's ok. You don't have to waste anymore of your time.

Run along...

It seems to me, that he was stating he doesn't do the apostrophes and commas and such and was hoping an editor would fix those problems for him.

I will hold out the option of trolling also.

 

[AsylumSeeker]

Okay, Freak.

If you're still looking.

PM me.

Not sure what you seek, but willing... sort of.

 

[deisatru]

Several clarifications.

1. I did not check and assumed (yeah I know, don't say it) the OP was male. This is apparently incorrect. My apologies.

2. I did not believe the OP was trolling, but asking for help. I do not know the OP, therefore even though I believed SHE was looking for help, I felt the possibility of the OP being a troll was there. I did not mean to impugn her in any way and I admit, it was sloppy posting on my part that may have given her that impression. I humbly apologize to the OP for not stating clearly what my position is.

3. Once I see the final story published here, please do not think that I will be any less harsh on you.

"sorry buts"

I didnt think it was THAT big a deal, which is why I pm'd you instead of making a scene.

You are entitled to think what you like.

The editor who helped me was wonderful. I've only begun writing fiction so there were some things I didn't quite understand. I'm working on it all.

When it's done, it will be his feedback that I will value.
