The “do”s and “don’t”s of using a Volunteer Editor

Here's my 2 cents:

21. When sending an editing request to a VE, DO have a valid e-mail address that the VE can reach you at. If the e-mail address for your profile is fake, then the VE cannot reply to you.

22. DO keep in touch with your VE, via e-mail and/or IM, if the VE has it and allows it.

23. If you are waiting for a VE to reply to your request, DO check your junk/spam e-mail folders, the VE's reply may have been filtered.

24. Please, if you are doing a story that has a "famous" background to it, i.e. SG-1 or some other story, DO ask if the VE is familiar with the background. It saves a lot of confusion on the editor's behalf.

Stickied on the AH might be even more use, assuming newbies ever read stickies.

They don't read them over there, trust me.

The only object that could be flying at you would be me to tacklepouncehug you. :p

Unfortunately, I cannot 'stick' anything unless it's in here in the EF.

I know, huh? And she promised I'd be the only newb she'd ever compliment. :(

I'm sure you do. Maybe you should write a 'how to get Cloudy's attention". :D
Ooh, I like the idea. :devil:

Think I'll get a lot of views? :D

Whatever must I do to make you believe me? *puts on angelic smile*

LadyCibelle said:
If you want me to. :p We have to do Cloudy proud though, so we'll need to be completely perfect!
How long do you think the piece should be?

I'm innocent too....yeah completely innocent, it's my evil twin who started it. ;)
We ought to plead not guilty.

Don't know for her but me, I'd recommend down on your knees begging for it? :p

Oh, at least a couple thousands words. We're talking about Cloudy here not just anybody, you know. She's a really complex person, so any 'how-to's' pertaining to her should be as complex, if not more.

Isn't it what we just did? :confused:

LOL!

I'm just an intelligent, cold-hearted bitch, that's all. ;)
