Hello all. This is a request (read as plea complete with bowed head and even kneeling if you want to imagine it) for editors. By this I mean people who are good at spotting small mistakes and correcting them in around ten to fourteen days if possible. You do not need to have any knowledge of the canons being mutilated, you just need the ability to correct small mistakes and be able to turn on the track changes as you do so.  

The following stories are in need of more editors:

Both DxD crossovers: Especially FILFy. I work with Nad Destroyer on flow and DxD knowledge, but that leaves a lot of small mistakes. GDHWOM is not nearly as much of a priority given the popularity of it’s direct rival.

A third Path to the Future: I have not gotten the last chapter back from Michael or heard from him. This means he’s either offline or there’s something wrong with our email connection. Not good either way. 

Both SW crossovers: Here only HIryo has volunteered to look over the chapters long term. And yes, you can volunteer to look at one story of the other LOL. 

Bhaalson Remodel: (Despite our best efforts, me and Urdodelig Urningin are not up to this task)

Sword Bow and Horse: Only Hiryo has volunteered to look it over, and he and I both agree he’s good for flow and Ranma facts, but not so much small mistakes.

Fate Touched in Middle Earth: I was working with Mordreek on this at one point, but he too has not been communicating with me, though in his case for a far longer time than Michael.

Anything Goes Game Changer:

Semblance of Hope: Both this and AGGC only have Hiryo looking them over for Ranma knowledge/names etc. And I think he will agree with me that the two of us still aren’t as good at spotting mistakes as someone dedicated to the task like Michael. 

Stallion of the Line is not on this list since I think with more time Tomon has shown that he can do the small mistakes thing well enough. Cheers mate. Nor is Making Waves since Justlovereadin’ and Hiryo both look this story over with me, and between us we can do a decent job of it. Thank you both once more for your continuing help on this story.

As mentioned before, if you volunteer to beta read you receive more votes to use in the monthly polls. That is Forty votes for medium stories (25,000-35,000), sixty votes for larger stories (36,000 and above) and 20 votes for anything smaller than 25,000 words. 

So please, if you think you can help spot the small mistakes that mar my works all too often, please, step up and let’s see if together we can make these stories better.

A third Path to the Future. I can step up for it. I Am here and Lord Anime on fanfiction.net I can show an example of another's writer I do the rare beta fix for.

Hiryo

My offer still stands for all Ranma stories. ;)

E.C.

I can help on Game Changer as I've read Sekirei and somewhat on Semblance as I'm a RWBY nerd but I haven't actually read that one yet so I would need to catch up. I've beta read several stories before and I've done editing on a Russian to english hentai game (basically fixing the creators bad English to the best of my ability) and three french to english hentai doujins (again, creators were not native english speakers so I cleaned up the english). So I got lots of experience. I can also help with other future story ideas if it relates to Fate Stay series or any of its spinoffs and a lot of more obscure animes, manga and video games

E.C.

I also go by Cloud_Link_Zero on fanfic.net and my Fate Grand Order, Megami Tensei, Yu Gi Oh GX and Fire Emblem fanfics are all examples of my best works

Hiryo

Well, I'm as well available for all future ones. ;)

Hiryo

BTW: Anything Goes Game Changer: ==> you left blank. ;p

Readm

I would love to edit for more stories plus bonus you already know my work I can usually get chappers back to you within 3 days and even when I'm busy with work my max is 5 days. The only one of these I wouldn't be willing edit for is FILFy. I was just never able to get into the story

Stephen D Johnson

I can help on any excepting Bhaalson, Sword Bow, and Semblance. Just not very familiar with those franchises so wouldn't know where to start, plus haven't read any of those stories here so would spend most of my time just going "huh?" SW, HP, LOTR are my strengths, pretty decent with Ranma.

MagisterdeVita

I'm not a professional or thoroughly equipped grammar nazi. But, if you just want another set of eyes that are equipped with a pro version of Grammarly then I'd be glad to help. I'd mainly would be willing to help with 1 or 2 of the options of FILFy, Fate Touched in Middle Earth, Bhaalson Remodel and A third Path to the Future.

Rakan

I would be glad to help out with editing small mistakes. I'm available for.... Pretty much any story. Is there a specific link or email that you need to contact me?

Tomon

I'm more of a story flow, idea guy and fact checker than proofreader. Also given how much time I seems to not have lately I will stay with Stallion, but I'm also ready to add Heroes of the High Seas if you need me ;) Regarding the rest of the stories I can help on specific case scenario (one chapter due to it's beta reader not being available or such) but not pledging fully to any of them right now.

Maxime PENNERAT

I can help you for the small mistakes on one or two stories. Preferably Fate Touched in Middle Earth: and Anything Goes Game Changer as I know more about those background, which can sometimes help on some mistakes.

M B

I am not much use for being a lore beta, but I am great at the more technical aspects (grammer and spelling type of thing). I had decided to wait to read A Third path until it was betad and was actually planning on reading it in word and sending you fixes. I would be happy to beta for: Fate Touched in Middle Earth Bhaalson Remodel Magic of the Force A Third Path to the Future Just would need to change how I read them to use my computer rather than phone. If I get A Third Path read soon I'll send it over.

anthony richey

I would be more than willing to help edit out minor mistakes, and honestly anything else I happen to notice on any of your stories. I don't really vote on what you work on but I joined the patreon just for access to the patreon only stories and I've read all of them. I'm completely up to date all except one or two as well, i tend to get the new months stories finished in about 3-6 days each so getting one and going a bit slower to work out mistakes should be no problem for me. for lore mistakes I will only be able to help with stuff I'm familiar with

Synner

I can review the files for FILFY after the fact if you like, I probably couldn't keep up with your time frames due to irl being in the military issues, but I can definitely start correcting the older files for re-upload.

Mike

I'm willing to beta read anything but the High School DxD stories. I'm definitely more of a spelling/grammar/structure spotter, but I work better with some idea of each character's mentality and temperament.

Treant Balewood

Ill try for two between Bhaalson, Sword Bow, Semblance, AGGC, & GDHWOM depending on other volunteer's. I'm not currently helping anyone else so I may be able to manage all (because I doubt you'll manage all in the same span) but it doesn't look like it'll be needed. If only one i'll take Semblance as a first pick but I'm flexible here.

Kariston Draconis

I'm happy to help out with any of your Ranma stuff, SBH would be my first pic, followed by AGGC and Semblance, I'm pretty damn good at picking up on spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as typos, plus I'm up to date with the respective cannons, and I can most likely get the corrected stuff back to you in about half the time you're looking for, if not less. That's not an idle boast either, you can test me if you want.

vimesenthusiast

thank you, for giving me such an example I will check it out and get back to you this weekend.

vimesenthusiast

LOL. Nope, linked it to Semblance the next one on the list.

vimesenthusiast

Would you be willing to look over the last chapter of AGGC? If that works we can go from there. I know we can work together since our conversations started more than one of my current fics LOL. message me your email and I'll send the latest chapter to you.

vimesenthusiast

That's essentially what I need - small mistakes like grammar, spelling/word choice. I use Dragon Naturally speaking for much of my writing - can thus 'write' and drive which is a necessity due to RL - and I am pants at catching all the tiny mistakes that thus sneak in. Would you like to look over the last chapter of FILFy and give it a go? If so, send me your email via a message and we can go from there.

vimesenthusiast

Nah worries, there's enough other people stepping up here, you keep stepping up out in RL. Stay safe and I salute you, man.

Michael Grover

It is not on my profile. Let me link it here. One moment.

‘Will It Work’ Dansicker

If you can wait until next month, I'll have some availability, but I am swamped until the end of calendar year.

Hiryo

XD XD XD

Mike

...I'll give it a try, but like I said, all things DxD will be harder because I just can't get into the flow of it. Don't know the characters and I never found a fic that engages me. The big problem is figuring out who would say what and how they would say it - Professor X would never say partyon dude, for instance. Rough drafts have been bad about that at times, I noticed.

Lucien Dauntes

I'm definitely open to acting as another layer of editing if you still need more volunteers. My strengths definitely play more to spelling and sentence structure/flow than grammar though.

Braeden1002

If you are still looking for an editor I would be willing to help out. Though I will say that my preference lies more with your Harry Potter and One Piece stories.

Sieti

I am willing to volunteer for Horse of the Force, Sword Bow & Horse and Semblance of Hope.

vimesenthusiast

If you are confident in your ability to spot technical mistakes, that is essentially what I need for ATP and Magic. If you want to work on ATP, send me your email address via the patreon message service, and I will send you the last chapter. It still hasn't been beta-read by anyone. Or at least, no one has gotten it back to me LOL.

vimesenthusiast

I do indeed already know your work. But I would be reluctant to give you another chapter to look at on top of Making Waves if that story wins the monthly poll. So would you be fine with, obviously, continuing to look at MW, or if Bhaalson wins, that story? I need someone who knows GAMER fics for that one.

vimesenthusiast

In that case, I will keep you in mind for ATP, Semblance and my other works other than the DXD - I missed the but in your initial statement, my bad. How is your GAMER fic / Baldur's Gate knowledge?

vimesenthusiast

Semblance does need a permanent small mistake guy and could use another flow/big idea guy. if you want, I can send you the last chapter, and we can see what happens. message me your email if you want to take that on.

vimesenthusiast

which would you be familiar with? It helps to understand why I have specific characters talking the way they do or using the words I have them use. Example: Pyrrha is almost uniformly extremely polite, Koneko sometimes drops words from sentences, and Akitzu speaks slowly and with as few words as possible (although that is changing LOL)

vimesenthusiast

sorry to say at this point that I've chosen an editor to look over ATP. If it doesn't work out I'll keep you in mind, but while it was good of you to give me a reference, I ran into a problem with it: I have never gotten into the Battlestar remake or Stargate, so couldn't follow the story at all. And since I couldn't get into it, I can't really read it just to look and see if there were no errors LOL. But thank you for the offer and I will keep you in mind in the future.

anthony richey

Between ranma and Harry Potter I'm far more familiar with ranma as I've seen the entire anime and read the entire manga series, it was awhile ago but I can also refresh myself on them when needed, Harry Potter I am mostly familiar with from fanfiction rather than canon, as I've not read the books and only seen the first 3 movies. As far as the crossover worlds I'm passingly familiar, but not in depth familiar with star wars. Namely as I've seen almost all the movies, and played both kotor games but am not familiar with much if any expanded universe stuff. Similarly with marvel I've seen many of the movies, but am not entirely familiar with it as I haven't looked much into the comics. I'm somewhat familiar with lord marksman as I've seen the anime, though I still need to look up the manga and could use a refresher on it if I'm used for that. Not at all familiar with one piece or fairy tail except through fanfiction, namely your stories on each. I'm familiar with dungeons and dragons type stuff in general, but not baldur's gate specifically as I've never played either baldur's gate game. Sekirei I've seen the anime but not read the manga so knowledge of backstory and events explained after the anime ended is limited to stuff from fanfiction. Highschool DxD I've seen the anime excluding the most recent season, though again not read the manga yet either. RWBY I'm mostly not familiar with, as I've only seen about a quarter of it. I think that covers most of your current stories off the top of my head. I'm not sure if it'll actually matter to mention this much and I don't intend it as boasting, I just feel it might be relevant. I read often and have been told I'm fairly good at writing, but never got into it due to never knowing what I would really try to write, and when I was IQ tested as part of my autism diagnosis they placed my reading comprehension at 140 give or take. Tests like that not really being implicitly reliable I can't guarantee I would be a good editor, but I have a feeling I would be good at it (especially as I had been able to tell just from reading your stories that you wrote with a speech to text program since most of the mistakes I had seen were phonetically similar to what I believe you meant to say) and that I'm worth a shot. Oh, and apologies for how wordy this is for a reply.

Mike

Not sure what the second one is, but I'm very familiar with the mechanics of the Gamer.

Readm

Yeah I would love to no problem at all and I am fairly familiar with gamer five though they all kinda vary a bit

Slider

I'm willing to help with FILFY but I don't think I can do it in December unfortunately because I'm a bit swamped at the moment...

Ranma Sean Dasanteki Monroe

I am willing to volunteer for Horse of the Force, Sword Bow & Horse and Semblance of Hope and Stallion of the Line and Making waves. I am currently PCS'ing from the army and need something to do with theses idle hands and overthinking mind of mine.

AlexisVA

I know I'm really late to the plate, but I would like to discuss some and be able to work on the part of the Tuatha Dé Danann in Filfy. Specially after reading the latest chapter and the interaction of Harry with Gasper's sacred gear The Forbidden Balor View which actually impacts this part of the story and I can't believe that I forgot about it. That sacred gear is based and supposedly was made by using the eye of Balor of the Evil Eye, a Fomorian leader and antagonist to the Tuatha Dé Danann in the second battle between their people who killed the than king of the Tuatha dé, Nuada Airgétlam or Nuada of the Silver Arm, and was killed by Lugh Lamhfada or Lugh Longarms with Fragarach as the foster child of Mannanán mac Lir the original owner of the sword and the God which essence, power or spirit has given Harry his power.

vimesenthusiast

I actually knew that story, but there is a difference between Gasper's Gear (GG from now on) and Fragarach and the power Harry can access and even the dreams Lily has been seeing: Balow was killed, then his power taken from his corpse. There was no soul remaining. Some Sacred Gears - Ddraig, Albion, were made into such while still living, so they are still alive within the Sacred Gear. Balor is not. Thus his connection to his previous pantheon is gone.

vimesenthusiast

Oh, but if you want to be an editor for when Harry and co get to the UK, I will remember that when we get to that point LOL.

AlexisVA

I would like to help in any way I can. Thank you for having me in your consideration.
