I'm realizing I can only take my stories so far without outside input. So I'd like to have someone help me edit a few stories I'm kicking around.

Genres: Anal, BDSM, Erotic Couplings, First Time, Group Sex (obviously no every story will be every genre)

Things I'm looking for:
1) Likes my work. Oooh look here's a link: http://english.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=458722&page=submissions
Doesn't need to think its perfect, in fact should see room for improvements

2) Reasonably Prompt
After working on a story for a while I tend to like to get it posted soon once I feel "done". This is something I do need to work on. I'd appriciate an editor that expects an under a week turnaround time (you can get a feel for my average story length at the link, though my next planned one will be about 1.5x longer)

3) Willing to provide creative input
The stories are mine of course, but I am looking for someone I can bounce ideas off of. Sometimes you can see your characters taking two directions and being able to discuss helps. So perhaps someone who is capable of using IM services

4) Grammatically correct but not too picky
Or at least willing to realize that I value good grammar but don't care about being perfect with commas and semi-colons. I tend to cheat by telling my stories in first person, so I can just write the way I think even if it isn't perfect grammar.

I suppose these are pretty basic desires, but we'll see how things go. Ideally I'd like a go to "editor" and a person or two who likes my stories to provide creative feedback in a less formal manner (not necessarily as an editor). I guess I just want a writing buddy ;)

OK so here's a preview of the "Sequel" to Reunion...

“Emily comes next weekend’ Isabella tells me. We’re naked together in her bed, having made love a half hour prior followed by some nice cuddling. My cock throbs involuntarily at the mention of Emily’s visit. “I see you are excited!” she jokes. Luckily in the darkness she can’t see my embarrassment.
“Yeah” is my only reply.
“I am actually excited to meet her. I have seen her picture and talked to her on the phone a lot, but meeting her in person will be great.”
“Yeah, its been almost six month since… I saw her”. And fucked her hard is the unspoken understanding. Isabella consented to me making love with my ex-girlfriend when I visited her, and things had changed a bit, almost entirely for the better.
“Tell me about it again,” She whispers, pressing her ass against my once again hard cock.

So if you're interested let me know.
 
I am not the person for whom you are looking, but I thought I would reply anyway, since it is very dispiriting to have no response to a reasonable inquiry.

No problem.

It's OK, but see below.

About two working days for a story that long.

Timezones might well be a problem.

This condition probably rules me out.

That really does rule me out. I thoroughly dislike first person, unless it is done properly, as a diary or a journal, where the narrator reminisces in the past tense in an ordered and selective fashion.
 
thanks

I've actually gotten one e-mail reply that seems fairly compatible, at least as a "writing buddy". So it hasn't been a complete vacuum :)
