Hi, I'm looking for an editor/beta reader for my jeverus fic. I've not completed writing chapter one yet because I've been researching on how to write better. I'll release it chapter by chapter inconsistently since I'm quite scatterbrained. If you're busy that's okay. I don't expect you to edit it immediately or to reply to me immediately when I message the chapter to you.
Dni if you will use a¡ to edit it or put my story into an a¡, I worked very hard on it thank you very much.
Looking for a proof-reader
I'm in the process of writing a Stardew Valley fic, and though I like writing and I've been doing it for a while now, I've never been completely sure of posting my writing without someone else proof reading it to make the necessary modifications to it before it's published.
If you're interested, please let me know. I don't write often, nor I update my fic frequently but when I do, I want it to be good and fun for the reader. I also want to make friends in this community.
(right now I'm writing a bit about Sam so if any of you Sam enjoyers want to give me some input or headcanons, feel free to do so in my ask box!)
I love a good business card
Looking for editor!
Hi! I’m looking for an editor who can help me polish and develop the current plot of my fanfic (linked down below).
Some notes 🫶:
Currently I’m unable to afford payment, so I rely solely on voluntariness. If you want to hone your editing skills before going professional, you’re welcome!!
I value authenticity and dedication!! Your (prefered) name will certainly be credited in every chapter under the condition that we work together from the beginning to the end ❣️
The fic revolves around Avatar: The Way Of Water movie (check the fanfic’s tags for more info). If you are currently a fan, it’ll be an advantage. If you’re not, it’s totally ok too, we can dive into the additional research later 🥰
The approximate word count of the fanfic is between 15k - 20k words
What I want to focus on 🤩:
Discuss the vision of the story
Build character arcs/characterization
Explore the lores/backstories of Avatar: The Way Of Water
Come up with headcanons inspired by Polynesian cultures and incorporate them into the main story
Discuss the chemistry and dynamic of the main pair => come up with a nice romance plot
I haven’t had a lot of experience in working with editors, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes 😅 Feel free to comment your questions down below if you still have any! Thank you for reading my post 🥰

Whilst reading yet another fanfic, I came across this line by the author:
“… her fire wasn’t the usual orange flame that we see- it was instead blue Fire still, just a bit cooler, a bit gentler.”
1st- The sentence would flow better/ be more grammatically correct if it was written “… her fire wasn’t the usual, orange flame that we normally see; it was instead blue fire- just a bit cooler, a bit gentler.” Still, though, even if the sentence was written this way, it would still be factually incorrect- which brings me to my second point.
2nd- Blue fire is hotter than orange fire.
This bugged me, so I scrolled down and looked to see if anyone had said anything in the comments section. Which, someone had:
Reader: “… Just an fyi, blue fire is actually hotter than orange/red fire. Of course if its magic then I guess ignore whatever rules you want.”
Author: “… Haha, seriously just thought that it sounded cool. But, that’s and interesting fact! Yupp, please assume it’s another one of those ‘magical’ reasons. Thank you!!”
(Please note that the reader was being nice and respectful about the criticism! I took it out, because there were potential spoilers/irrelevant stuff, but the reader began by complimenting the writing and expressing interest in what might happen in future chapters. This is exactly how you should go about giving constructive criticism!)
The reader was right, of course. Blue fire is actually hotter than even white fire! And the hottest fire is a white-blue flame.
“When all flame colors combine, the hottest flame color is white blue.”
“The color of the blue flame indicates that it is even hotter than white. Typically, blue flames can go up from 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.”
However, there are actually two different ways to turn a fire a different color- temperature, which we’ve already discussed, and the fuel’s chemical composition.
So what chemicals can be used to turn a fire blue? Here is the list I have come up with: Copper Chloride, Copper Halide, Bismuth, Arsenic, Cesium, Germanium, Indium, Niobium, Phosphorus, Selenium, Lead, Tin, Tantalum, or Zinc.
As you can see, there’s actually quite a variety of chemicals that could be used to create blue fire (although the exact shade would need specific ones). However, I have no idea how the chemicals effect the fire temperature, because as one of my previous pictures stated, “… blue flame is typically fueled by natural gas, and natural gases tend to burn hotter than organic materials such as wood.”
“But Unwanted-Editor! None of that matters if it’s magic!” That is correct, my dear readers, magic is a handy little tool that we can use to ignore science and logic. And truly, I would be content with letting it be, if not for a line just a little bit after the one I read that initially got me into this rant:
“Blue fire was known to meld and carve”
Meld. Meld!
Now, the author isn’t incorrect to say that blue fire is used to meld, but melding (and I assume the author is referring to welding) is bending metal to your will. Logically, don’t you think that the fire would need to be at a higher-than-normal temperature in order to actually do that? Yes. Yes it does.
“Temperatures high enough to produce blue flames are unusual in campfires, which is why they are more often seen when metals are used, as in welding.”
Now, magic can excuse a lot, but I draw the line at having a low-temperature-blue-flame-that-can-also-be-used-for-melding/welding. It just doesn’t make any sense, especially since the magic of the world we’re in relies heavily on the balance of things. Please, if you’re going to make the dragon breathe blue fire, than at least do it right.
Anywho, if you look at one of my previous pictures, you can see that I was already on Chapter 16 when this all happened, so clearly the author wasn’t actually a terrible writer. In fact, I even finished the fic and started the Part 2 of the fic (unfinished) that the author had written before I made this post. So, Kudos to the author for still engaging me, even when my brain rebelled against certain things! Thanks for being brave enough to share a piece of your heart on a public platform, and best of luck on all future writing endeavors!

Guys, I need help editing my fics. I really like writing and mostly it comes out not even bad. But my problem is that I think and write in Russian, and later I translate my work into English. It's easier for me, but I think my translation is too dry and mechanical, and many grammatical errors can pass my eyes. For this reason, I need someone who knows the language at the level of a native speaker.
I now plan to work with "Hundred": John Murphy/Emory, John Murphy/Emory/Raven Reyes; Emory/Raven Reyes; Clark Griffin/Lexa; Luna/Raven Reyes.
Also sometimes other relationships, but mostly so
If someone has time and desire, please write to me
Anyone here wanna be my editor for my fanfics? I’ll do a sketch or smth in return :)
(People with experience writing skills pls)
I need a permanent editor/beta reader.
I need someone to go through my works with or without me and make them,,,, palatable???? Readable???? Make them make sense to someone who isn’t me or you, the person who has me explaining everything to you cause my stories are mostly ideas thrown into a blender and regurgitated in a manner that only makes sense when you're on a sugar high or serotonin high or otherwise impaired, but also I use more commas than you would think possible because I tend to write how I think which is in continuous sentences and BOY does THAT show.
I’ll be giving you credit in any way that you prefer, so if you’d prefer your Instagram username, or your AO3 handle, or just a nickname so no one knows it was you or nothing at all or whatever you prefer? Absolutely, just tell me what you’d prefer once we agree, unless it's a slur.
Requirements: Literally just help me put my writing down in a way that makes sense for others, let me know if you won’t be continuing, don’t republish my work, edited or otherwise anywhere without asking and please do not give me constructive criticism unless you can do so nicely because I have really weird triggers for that and they’re very annoying. Also, I want to see what your editing skills are like so I’ll ask you to do one chapter first before I say yes so that I can be certain of our combined skills.
Anyways, here’s everything I need an editor for currently, in order of importance? The ones I care to see edited the most? Basically, every work I need an editor/beta reader for minus the unpublished ones that I might mention if there’s anyone who wants to help with those left.
Building A Home - Harry Potter has a twin that is a girl whose name is going to change because I kind of hate Hyndragnea as a name now. At least for the Potters anyways. They were going to be Brazilian because I had a phase a while back when I wrote this that we don’t need to talk about, but now I’m toying with the idea of them being south African or African American (that is such a strange thing to actively type as a black African American person ngl) and you can definitely see that I was indecisive in a few places, for further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [CLOSED]
Selfish - An Avengers crossover fic that hasn’t had the crossover yet, but it also has de-aged Loki (Who isn’t dating, and will not be dating anybody until he’s older, if ever) and the avengers becoming less and less mortal. To be fair, a few already are immortal. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [CLOSED]
Out Of Curiosity Mostly - Okay so for this one I basically just need a spell check it’s a collection of mostly Harry Potter ficlets and if you just want to do one specific chapter feel free to message me. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [Still open, 1 applicants]
Salvare - A slow burn Drarry fic about Lucius dying, Narcissa and Draco taking over the world, and Harry, Remus, and Sirius just sitting back and enjoying the ride pretty much. I actually still don’t know where this one is going, but it’s still open for updates, I just haven’t written anything for since I updated it cause when I published it I was right on the cusp of a really long depression episode but I’m better now so it’s fine right? Right. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [CLOSED]
The Sun Has Always Said I Love You (And Look What You Can Do With A Love Like That) - I’m actually most proud of this one. It’s a Teen Wolf fic so Warning, Kate Argent is a fucking creep, and so is Gerard. Chris is cool though. So’s baby Allison. The Hales live. Derek has to come to terms with being assaulted but that'll either happen during a time skip or off-screen. [CLOSED]
Perhaps (It Was Only Just A Dream) - Starts in the Mauraders era, Jily lives, Wolfstar happens, Snape is actually a spy and ACTUALLY a good Snape, good Malfoys cause I can. This one also needs less of a complete overhaul and more of spellcheck, and comma detector because to be fair to me it is actually pretty well-written... Oddly enough. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [Still open, 3 applicants]
And They Were Kind, Kinder Than They Had Any Right To Be - An offshoot of What Could Have Been from the Building A Home Potter Twins Universe. Essentially, just a collection of previously written or thought of ideas that Could’ve happened but didn’t. Or at least haven’t yet. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [Still open, 1 applicants]
Goodness Is Not Weakness, And Kindness Is Not Failure. - Essentially, what if Uzushio and her knowledge and her clans had lived? What if the city was more sentient, what if the entire Elemental nations were more sentient. Or, what if when that plant bitch Zesty the fucking mom obsessed in a questionable way tried to do Some Bullshit The Elemental Nations took note and said “Uhh, I think the fuck not”. For further details feel free to message me and read through what’s published so far. [Still open, 1 applicants]
I want to warn you right now that my writing can be summed up as this Deus Ex Machina description right here.
Take that as you will.
