Be a Star...edit an opus!

[MasterTiberius]

Hello...

I am a new member here with 3 published stories on Literotica. To date I have mostly written stories in the 3rd person describing fantasies or adaptations of real life experience. I like what I have written and have gotten so good feedback so far.

Problem is...I had a eureka moment for a story idea and it has grown from the typically 5 page story I usually write to currently 28 pages. I think that when I do submit the story I will serialize it but I would appreciate before I write more someone reading it a giving it a once over to see if I have completely gone of the deep end. Even in university I have never written so much! Ack.

The story is a romantic erotic fantasy about my experiences with my "aunt". We are related through marriage and the story starts with diary form with some flashback entries to set tone and place.

The beginning

Diary Entry: January 13th, 1977

Summary of 1976 (Aunt Sarah)

I can remember when I was younger and staying for a long summer weekend at my Aunt’s. Sometimes I would head to the basement to watch TV or explore in the back of the storage area in the basement recreation room for a cousin’s long forgotten toy or board game and there they were…hanging from the cord strung parallel to the floor joists – my aunt’s lingerie. Aunt Sarah was a bit older than my parents but even in the mid 70s had not adopted the then relatively new fashion convenience of pantyhose. She still wore stockings and even though she had a fine figure wore panty girdles or open bottom girdles with stockings.

In fact, just about everything about Aunt Sarah was a throw back to the 50s, as if she found this era so in keeping with her value system and sense of morality and ethics she consciously reflected it in the hair, clothing, lingerie and interests she practiced and believed. She had worn, until quite recently, cat eye style glasses frames.

The story then progresses forward to a time were the main part of the story transpires. It is very descriptive and I am using dialogue more than I ever have in the past.

PM me please if interested.

Just a quick FYI...I am only asking for help with this one story. I am not asking for any greater commitment.

Just A Suggestion...

Personally, I shy away from large editing projects. I'm willing to edit on the side as long as it doesn't interfere with my writing, which is my first passion.

Don't split it up later, split it up now. Establish a relationship with an editor by begiining with a manageable first chapter (4,000 to 5,000 words) and then send the following chapters of similar size. It might take longer this way (or seem to) but you'll find help much more quickly and may be quicker in the end.

Or hold out and maybe someone will offer to edit the "opus".
