Hey there, fellow pervs, it's me, that guy that does lots of volunteer editing and has also published a bunch of stories on the site already. In other words, I can be a known quantity if you care. You can read my work and ask around about my editing.

Thanks to some extremely fucky work/life shit, I was able to poop out a 375k-word sci-fi smut novel earlier this year in a relatively condensed time frame. After a healthy amount of time away from it, I've decided it's time to try to get it edited. That presents a few obvious problems. The first one is that it's long as fuck. The second one is that, per my post title, I generally don't write stories "fetish first," either in terms of inclusion or exclusion. I just write whatever feels good and makes sense -- well, you know, "makes sense" relative to the low bar of smut. The third is that the project makes pretense to being a real novel, which means I'm hoping to find an editor who's willing to engage seriously with Real Writing™ and Real Storytelling™, not just smut. That's three major strikes when it comes to finding just the right editor. I'm well aware. That's why I'm posting here, even though I don't usually engage with this forum as a resource either for offering editing or requesting it.

The project's working title is Fuck, Kill, Win, Repeat. It centers around a bunch of dickgirls doing that working title proud... in space! While the bulk of the sexual content involves your standard buttfuckin', cocksuckin', asslickin', cum-chuggin', and hole-pluggin', that's hardly the sum total. There's pet play, role play, medical play, some heavy dom/sub, some ironically knowing and farcical dom/sub, spanking, chastity cages, tattoos, consensual pain play, lactation, body modding... well, you should get the idea. It's a solid core with a vibrant and radioactive corona.

My tentative plan is to release the novel on Literotica.com chapter-by-chapter as an extended series -- probably one chapter a week, which would make the release schedule extend to over a year. I don't want to commit to that, however, unless and until I'm confident that I can keep it up. To highlight an important first step: all 375k of those words I mentioned are written. This isn't something I'm hoping to do or planning to do. A robust draft is done, and it's not some hacky outline. It's a novel already. I just need it to be a properly edited one.

If you're on the fence, I might recommend asking some of the proofreaders/editors I've worked with in the past -- all credited within my stories -- about the general quality of the drafts I send them. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Happy perving in the meantime. I'll keep one eye open for serious responses to this thread.
