So, I found this great editor, who did awesome work on the first half of Part One of the series I'm writing... Don't get me wrong, he's incredible. Brutal. The liberal use of the red pen (or the computer equivalent) made my panties go damp and my knees shake, but the problem is, he has no time for the project. He still hasn't finished Part One, and this is a FIVE PART series. Did I mention I gave it to him in February??
So I moved on to editor number two, a chick I work with, who said she was really open minded about erotic literature. Um, not so much as it turns out, and now whenever she sees me, she goes flame red from her collarbone to the roots of her hair and runs in the opposite direction.
I'm starting to think I'm a problem child.
The series is a non-human fantasy set in my own domain, and as the characters are extremely long-lived, the sex is unconventional, ranging from same sex with BDSM overtones to non-consensual incest. I would really like to work with someone who A.) has the time to devote to the project and B.) won't swallow their own tongue over the content. I have a university degree and write professionally, so I don't make a ton of grammatical and spelling errors (I don't claim to be perfect, I just know how to spell-check). I am a bit of a perfectionist, though, and I can't abide the idea of posting something that hasn't been run past another set of eyes first.
Should you feel generous and wish to take pity on my darkling soul, I would be ever so grateful.
Many thanks,
Wicked
