Editing Service

Sun Feb 22, 2009, 11:10 AM
Greetings, writers of deviantART. Joe here. If you are reading this, you are either (1) lost or (2) interested in me reading over your submissions and checking them for errors. If it is the former, I bid you a good day. If, however, your reasoning is the latter, I invite you to continue reading.

Introduction
I am a relatively new writer on deviantART. Although I have not written many fan-fics, I believe that I have a very clean writing style. I originally started writing while looking through some of the fan-fics, and realizing that many of them are poorly written. I thought to myself, 'I can write better than that,' and began work on my first story.
Eventually, as I began to write more, I felt a stronger urge to improve the quality of fan-fics in the fandom. At first, I was only planning in doing so with my works. After some thought, I have decided that the most effective course of action would be to pass on my grammar skills to others who seek them. This is where my editing service idea was born.

Requirements
:bulletblack:All works must be in English. I'm sorry, but that is the only language I am proficient with. Je parle français un petit peu, mais je ne suis pas trés bon...
:bulletblack: I will not edit yaoi or yuri fan-fics. I'm sorry, but I am not into that. I respect your decision to write those, I just do not want to be a part of it.
:bulletblack: I will not edit schoolwork, business papers, college or scholarship essays, secret spy documents, Mapquest directions, or work that is not your own. I will only edit Naruto fan-fics and original stories written for the purpose of entertainment.
:bulletblack: When you repost the fan-fic after I have edited it, you will need to put the following at the bottom of your Author's Comments:
This fan-fic was proof-read and edited by :iconjoecoool:. For more information on how to have your written works proof-read, click here: [link]
Please make sure you actually give them the link, and not just [link]

How to Submit
To request that I proof-read and edit your work, please give me the link to your fan-fic in this journal's comments. I will then proceed to read over the work, then give you comments on where to create edits.
Please note: I will only review one work at a time per author. If you have more than one piece for me to look at, please wait until I finish the current one, then you may re-post with another request. Please make your re-post a separate post, and not a reply to your previous post. This will help me keep track of the order in which requests come in.

Thank you for your time, and good luck with your writing!
-Joe

Hey, since I'm the first to say something...can you make me an exception?? I'm a normal writer, so it's all my own. But it's not a fanfic. I've seen your writing style, and I think you could really help me out!

Please!

There, I went ahead and changed the wording. Thanks for that, and I would be happy to read over your work.

Awesome!! I'll give you a link to the opening, it's read like a script, but visualized like an anime.

Hope you like it!

There is 12 chapters so far, this is the first one.

in one of earlier stories you said i needed to add more details about the surroundings. i was wondering if you could tell me if i had added enough detail of the surroundings in another story i'm doind. it's OoC (again) and i have definitely earned a spot in fanfic heck for it.
