Will not edit for anyone with a penis...

[D_K_Moon]

I will. I swear. Oh wait, I shouldn't swear I bet. Oops, betting is just fucking wrong. Oh man, is a saint supposed to be fucking? I might need to keep that 'almost' after all.

No, I don't believe celibacy is requirement for canonization.

No, I don't believe celibacy is requirement for canonization.

I'll make a note of that. Thanks.

If it was there would probably be alot fewer saints...

No problem! Glad to have been of service!

I am an equal genital opportunity editor.

Not you, my dear. Some schmuck PM'd me and said he'd be happy to look over what I had. He took one look at the male POV, assumed I was a guy, and told me he didn't edit for men. Apparently he wasn't so much looking to seriously help anyone with their writing as to have an in to talk to chicks. I explained that I felt there were better forums than the Editor's Forum for this purpose.

 

[MzDeviancy]

And people wonder why I don't use editors...

I've had some real help from editing. The first editor I found on here was a Nazi who went through everything with a fine-toothed comb, but he was brilliant at what he did. I definitely believe I'm a better writer for having worked with him. I wish he was still around, but there are other people with lots to offer as editors.

I can testify that volunteer editing is a terrible way to meet women. The guy would be better off writing stories for them.

Most of my writing is in 3rd person, so that might confuse a single sex editor. I did have a woman write and ask if I were a woman writing under a masculine pen name. She said there was one female masturbation scene which was so realistic, she could not believe it had been written by a man.

I took that as a compliment.

I take exception to your response. I am offended, good sir, by your insinuation.

You can take exception all you want. If you can't see racism in many of the comments in the AH then you are truly blind.

Selena did about 2/3 of the Montana Summer series for me. But, she really didn't edit. More of a solid proofreader, and she did give valuable tips on writing in general.

Some writers like that, the editor/writer dynamics. I'm too stubborn to want to give up any of my creative control to another person.

The bottom line is, whatever works for you is the right thing for you.

I follow the line of St. Augustine's prayer.

 

[AsylumSeeker]

Because he was told by someone in a pm that because he wasn't female, they wouldn't edit for him? Apparently nobody else was responding, so what else what he think?

Why are you offended?

How can one even tell, many times I don't know if the owner of a handle is male or female. Of course that attitude is completely unacceptable. That editor needs to be identified and avoided.

I initially thought a generalization was being made, lumping me in the same pile as that editor, hence my first response. But in hindsight I see that is not the case.

Not at all lol You've gotta learn to take a breath and re-read before you get offended ;op

I have never declined an editing job. The mix of men and women is about half and half. I have not seen much difference in the amount of time required.

We happily concede if an editor does not want to edit a particular story category. If a man does not want to read the sexual fantasies of another man, it is his call.

Every time I see this thread title, I think of a man underlining and marking text with his dick. It would be an awkward editing method. I don't know if it is a direct quote, but "I will not edit for anyone with a penis," is not the kind of sentence construction I would expect from an editor. The male writers who have been declined probably come out better on the deal.

Oh yeah. From personal experience.


NO ONE HERE TODAY!!

I've declined editing jobs since I began school and working. No longer do I have hours and days to fill with writing or editing. Now I'm limited in the amount of time I can give to others.

[mynameisben]

...is basically what I was just told in a PM.

I stand right behind you, Mz. D. I tried editing the Erotic Letters feature for Skank! Magazine with my own penis once. I damn near passed out from dehydration.

 

[littleblackdress50]

My question is this... if I have a penis ... they won't edit for me...

Does that penis have to be permanently attached? I mean I seem to own one but it's only attached intermittently and then rolls over and commences snoring.

Does that mean they won't edit for me?

If you're looking for an edit job and can't find a volunteer, I'd be happy to take a pass at it for you. Just send me a PM. I use the comments feature of Microsoft Word rather than my penis, though.

 

[Fran26]

Editors .

I don't not have a penis , i wrote a piece to post here, it is the experiene of a wwk-end of cheating on my fiance and the consequences of this.
Before submitting it since it is my first experience at writing , i am looking for someone to proof-read the piece. and possibly sugest changes if needed .
So far no luck with the editors .

Act fast Fran. My offer is good for the first TWO respondents only.

You could've caused momentary confusion, that you have both sexual parts. Wondering what that reaction would have been.

I can't imagine where you're getting that from. And I gave it some effort, too.

No, I mean after the fact, you could have played the editor. Sorry, was just thinking. You could have teased him (in a bad way). Oh, never mind. Time for bed.

Wait! You edit genitals?! You should be editing transsexual stories..or, transsexuals, whichever comes more easily.
