@BowsersThots don't know if you've gotten any DM's but I see no one's responded. I think editors are in somewhat short supply and the pieces you describe probably don't fit well here. The site is more friendly to, say, incest than subjects like non-con, kidnapping, etc. And plenty of people here won't be interested in helping create such works.
And the lengths you describe are short. Most reader's are looking for stories or installments more in the 5k - 7k range (which would be a couple 3.5K pages) with some people looking for much longer works. I wondered why you cannot edit yourself in pieces < 1000 words.
Finally, when you say "proper sentence structure ruins the point of the writing" that really discourages me from editing for you. I think if you're aspiring to that kind of artistry, you either need to have enough acumen to pull off the effect you want, without an editor (you know, you need to know the rules before you start breaking them to be artistic), or you need to use the English you were taught in school.

I'm sorry if I was unclear; by "probably don't fit well here," I meant that I doubt you will get accepted to publish here. This story doesn't meet the length requirement (>= 750 words) in the submission guidelines and I don't know if it meets the content guidelines. So, that would also discourage an editor from working with you
I don't know why you need an editor? Or why your Google drive isn't a good place to log your stuff? But maybe google "archive of our own." Because while they specialize in "fanfic," they interpret that so broadly that it encompasses anything (e.g., your work creates it's own Original Works fandom) and they seem to have little in the way of content guidelines. Almost no one will read your stories there, but you say that's not an issue.
