Just a quick rec, I've been moving my stuff off of Google Docs and onto this other new editor called Ellipsus. It's very good, I love the optics and the different color schemes, and it's quite nice to use, very enjoyable

Moreover, I appreciate the heck out of the developers' stance against AI. They're pro writer and it feels like they put a lot of love into this program

I just want to say this for anyone who’s feeling disheartened by the cancellation and feels like anything they make for étoile doesn’t matter bc of it:

They (Gabias) are literally the reason I watched étoile and without edits of them on TikTok I never would have found this show that now means so much to me.

I’ve seen people say they feel what they make doesn’t matter now that it wasn’t renewed and to that I say don’t let a bunch of dumb execs take this show from you, as long as you create for and post about étoile it will never truly die. You keep these characters alive.

So I want every editor/artist/anyone who creates for etoile to know that what you make really keeps this fandom alive and helps it grow even when it doesn’t feel like it. Even when it feels pointless just know it never is, what you make will always matter to someone. Never stop creating, it’s more important than you know 💕

I hope this inspires people to keep making stuff they like.

This goes for any piece of media btw (I’m part of the Hannibal fandom and we’ve been going strong for literally 10 yrs so, as long as we keep creating the show will never truly die)

Building My Portfolio

I'd like to start building my experience to become a professional copyeditor. In doing so, I need work to edit!

What does this mean for you? You can submit a copy of your work to me and receive any and all feedback you'd like! In return, I can add you to my small portfolio of experience.

Things I can do, but not limited to: spelling, grammar, fact-checking/research, ensure plot development, ensure character development, enforcing style (AP, MLA, APA, Chicago), improve readability, concision, following author style, ensuring compliance (if you include references to songs, movies, etc., you need legal permissions to use when publishing your story).

What works am I accepting? Fret not! I accept anything! For brainstorming purposes, poems or other short form works. I accept novels of all lengths. Fanfiction (fandoms included on this post). Non-fiction. Creative Non-fiction. Fiction.

Included in every accepted project: For the sake of experience, I'll do everything "professionally" but you can respond however! - Memo Discussing changes, formatting with brief overview explanations of broad changes such as spelling or grammar related issues - Digital Copy of Work with Suggested Edits (edits will be made through Microsoft's 'Track Changes' feature or Google's 'Suggesting' features) - Style Sheet (if applicable) - A sheet that contains any symbols used, typically for hard copy edits (paper copy). This won't be as frequent, unless work is sent through mail, or a preference for hard copy is requested.

How do you take advantage of this opportunity? Submit a copy of your work to my email, [email protected]. I'll follow up with you in a week, or less, and we'll discuss what you'd like from me and I'll tell you everything I can do. We'll figure out a reasonable timeline depending on the length of your work.

what r ur opinions on neovim/helix editor etc :3

i think they're cool but don't have the energy to learn it

oh i hate to disappoint but i am a vscode girlie. not even code OSS or vscodium (i tried but had issues)

i edit single files in kwrite, or sometimes vscode when i know i'm going to need some features such as json formatting

and when i actually need to edit text in a terminal i use nano, with the only setting being tab=4 spaces. so to answer your question i don't have an opinion as i haven't used neovim nor helix

now if someone wants to preach their CLI text editor that'll make it 12.7% easier for me to edit my nginx config files over ssh i'm all ears (obtuse shortcuts forbidden)
