anyone know any good editors?

[killallhippies]

i'm almost done with a story that may or may not go on lit because as written it involves underage lesbian sex. my editor has gone and buggered off and won't be returning anytime soon. if anyone knows of any good, relatively quick editors willing to edit a story like i described that will most likely end up being about 20 word pages long drop me a line.

i am also posting this thread in the editors forum. just thought i'd ask here as well.

maybe. pm me any problems you might have or what kind of files you can handle, etc. and a an email address and you'll go on the extremely short list of potentials at this point. so far it's just you and one other.

Depends. A sampling of comments from Carson's editing from one of my recent stories:


"Yoda!"

"Icky. Please don't"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I hate this phrase."

"Cringe."

"More yoda."

"Please, please stop."

*grin* Hey, he tells it like it is. And actually, on some of those, I was laughing so hard I was crying. He's really a funny man He makes the analysis go down very easily.

And he's encouraging. I also got, on the same story ...

"I loved it! ... I really, really liked it."

"Great section!"

"Love all this. Great job! I'm really getting sucked in here."

"Cool imagery."

"Wow! Great!"

"**Fan-fucking-tastic."

"I fucking love this story. "

Bottom line? I can't beleive how much better this story got after Carson had the patience to review it twice during its construction and give me fabulous detailed notes. I would take out public ads about how brilliant he is as an editor, but I am greedy and want to keep his time free so that I can pelt him with my own lame prosody

It's amazing how reassuring the image of Yoda is Now when I am writing I imagine the little green fellow over my shoulder gently murmuring "inverted diction you will not use, mmm?"

Okay, now you're just embarrassing me.

However, not so sure I want to be voiced as a little green Muppet with pointy ears.

How about a sailor boy with a sexy voice instead? "Use the force..."

 

[killallhippies]

i'm done! i so rule!

 

[BlackShanglan]

Okay, now you're just embarrassing me.

I've done worse

How about a sailor boy with a sexy voice instead? "Use the force..."

If it's the sailor boy in your AV, he can have any kind of voice he wants. I have now succumbed utterly to his mesmerizing influence. Think he'll throw his little hula hoop around my neck? I want to play the world's longest game of hoop-la with him.

[carsonshepherd]

how about this guy instead?

 

[BlackShanglan]

He's green, he's bad - but I miss the sailor boy

(But I still love Yoda too )

bump. i've just been rejected. i just edited the one word that might have thrown them off, but i'd really like someone else to go over it again to see if there's anything i missed.

the problem: underage sex.

 

[killallhippies]
