Hi, I'm looking for an editor for the first couple chapters of a "voyeur/exhibitionism" story. It's not that long so far, but I just want to see if it's on the right track or if I need to make some major changes so that it's actually interesting.

Maybe you need to add more description about your story.

I'm beginning to think this "volunteer editor" thing is really just an excuse for guys to meet girls who write erotica. I posted my interest in an editor last Friday and haven't received a response. "dirtycarol" posts her request today and she has like five or six guys asking to edit her story. Hmmmm...

Perhaps I should have posted my request as "sluttysusie". I might have gotten a much larger audience then. lol

Did you take note of the dates in "dirtycarol's" request thread? :rolleyes:
 
Ha! Actually, I did, but I noticed the wrong dates. I looked at when the latest comment was and not when she original posted. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm an idiot. :)

Yeah, no comment on that first sentence. Anyway, if you want someone to look over your story, I'll give it a go. I haven't got anything going right now.

Oh Sammy Boy

Dude, it's not all about YOU! I help all kinds of writers, but this being the holiday season I'm out there doing the shopping and fighting the crowds just the same as everyone else. I try and show my LIT membership card but the crowds don't part like the Red Sea (hmmm).

Your comment is rude, unwelcome, and unfounded.

Okay, I've said my piece.

Happy holidays.

Actually I considered both your request and that of dirtycarol. I did not respond to yours because voyeur/exhibitionist stories don't really interest me, and I didn't respond to dirtycarol's because it sounded as though she hasn't finished her story yet, and I hate editing part-written pieces because continuity is such an important part of an editor's help.

I didn't respond to O2 because as a male I really lack the necessary technical knowledge (who does what with which) to edit lesbian stories.

I did respond to Princesserin mostly because as a novelist myself I know how difficult it is to get anyone to Beta read long stories.

How many more examples do you need to show that the decision whether to answer a request is much more complicated than you claim?

Incidentally, using Charmbrights as a nom de plume has had many people thinking that I am female. Sometimes I disabuse them but often I just ignore their error.

Dude, our much-beloved snooper was trying to esplain that a handle denotes neither the sex nor the appearance of a person. This truly is a place where the core of a person comes into play. And what a story of adversity it plays on your part.

Honey works better than vinegar.

Example: "Hey, I really appreciate the volunteer editors at Lit and how much help they provide. I'm new here and would really appreciate if someone could find the time to help me out on a new story I've written. It would really be appreciated!"

Oh, and your tack - Perhaps I should have posted my request as "sluttysusie". I might have gotten a much larger audience then.

Dude, we do this editing, taking time out of our lives we'll never get back, for no compensation whatsoever. Learn some FUCKING APPRECIATION!

Oh, and Happy Holidays, wouldn't want to forget that.

Yeah though I wonder why some days.
 
Huggs ML, was beginning to think I was the only one thinking this way
 
Yikes! You all need to calm down a little. My comments above, while obviously not very funny to you (and not even applicable considering the fact I got the dates wrong on the post to which I was referring), were written in jest.

But now that you've spent so much time whining about this, I'll say this. Don't give me this attitude about "we do this as a favor with little to no appreciation. 'We'd rather you just said thank you, and went on your way'...blah, blah, blah..." You edit other people's stories because, primarily, you enjoy it. If you didn't enjoy it you wouldn't do it. It's not charity work.

That being said, I will be sure to thank graciously any editor who assists me as it appears that some editors have very thin skins and need constant praise.

Yeesh...

I don't appreciate your "style". That being said, we all make mistakes. I''m busy as an editor, and I receive no payment other than the heartfelt thanks of those I help. And that's all I ask.

I'm busy but may be open in a few days and might be able to take a look. But I won't take a shit story and spend hours of my life re-writing it, done that before, won't do it again. Not saying that's the case, but so ya know.

I'll leave it on your shoulders. Check me out, PM me if interested. But I'll be a dit.

That's the best I can offer.
