Looking for an editor with no squickability

[Guest]

This is sad... I spend all my free time editing for other people, and I can't edit anything of my own right now...

I have an enormously complicated series of vignettes involving two characters over five hundred years of fucking/fighting/falling in love/falling apart. I need an editor who has no issue with serious squicks (trying to disembowel someone being foreplay, for example) who's willing to read and give criticism for this story.

Real criticism, not just flames. I know there's a few spelling errors (I will get them all eventually) and punctuation issues.... those I'm not worried about. I need real readers to tell me what they really think.

PM if you're interested, or if you want to see what you may be getting into, the second link in my signature will take you to DA. Open my journal and it's the most recent post... one of the Ashlee-Drakalen scenarios.

squick

My head is so soft the sound is more like sploosh. OK, I lied about that.

Seriously, though, I am not easy to squick, and I think I can keep things of the imagination separate from the person able to imagine them. I am on the volunteer editor list now, and have done some work for others.

One thing that really puzzles me, perhaps you can help. I offer my services as an editor. I have exactly two stories published so far here. And NOT ONE of the people asking me to edit has even read what I write. When I wanted an editor I first read what the editors on my short list had written.

I give good head in the editor list, but - really - what do I know about writing and style?

If my style and approach isn't to your taste, don't bother asking me for input to your writing.
