I had a spate of people who decided, instead of improving and editing the document, to trash paragraphs and insert moronic images into the work.
I’ll provide an edit link for the next chapter only to people I know who specifically request access. As usual, morons are why we cannot have nice fucking things.
I’ll be putting out the chapter after repairs in a bit. Thank you to those who did help with editing and ideas.
Instead of giving everyone, good and bad, on the internet a chance to review your rough draft, you should just find a beta reader on (https://www.fanfiction.net/betareaders/), or post it on (thefanfictionforum.net) or (forums.spacebattles.com/forums/creative-writing.18/).

I really hate idiots.
I probably won’t be able to edit on a regular basis, but if you would allow it, I would actually like to ask for a link to the current chapter in case I actually get the time and energy to edit your work.
If not, that’s fine. Like I said I have limited time and energy and I can’t guarantee anything anyway.
A suggestion (apologies if you already know this and decided against it). Google Docs has features specifically for things like this. If you change permissions for the document to comments only, editors can change to Suggestion Mode in the top right corner of the document, which lets anyone make changes to the text without erasing the old text. The downside is that you, the document owner, would need to go thorough and individually approve or deny every edit.
I’d also be happy to help edit, if you don’t have enough help already.
Never underestimate the stupidity of idiots.
‘Sigh’ and this is why we can’t have nice things, because as a friend of mine once said ‘many things are unique, however stupidity is universal’.
I really thought this would not happen here because most people here tend to have come from fanfiction.com and understand the annoyance of stupidity, still I would like to request a link though I may not be able to do much in terms of editing.
Keep up the good work and ignore the love/hate relationship the internet has with stupidity and useless acts.
Don’t know if I should be surprised or not. I guess not even fanfiction is safe from stupid assholes who have nothing better to do with their time than vandalize drafts.
That said, I’d like to request access. I’d be happy to help with the project and as a side note, I was the one who put in the line about Vasir suffering from Delacor’s luck.
I’d like to help edit if I can, but college is leaving my extra time a bit sporadic and rare. If it’s not a hassle to throw another address on the edit list then I’m game, but the days I’ll actually be able to do stuff might be a bit infrequent.
I requested access. I’ll do my best to sleuth out grammar and usage mistakes.
to remove some uncertainty from that last post a few minutes ago ^
Oddly enough, I have free time on Tuesdays/Thursdays that I could put to good use… I’d be interested in being a beta reader.
Well now I’m upset that I both missed the call for volunteer editors and that such a great idea got ruined by idiots who don’t know how to play nice with others. If you still need volunteers I’m willing to lend my eyes and extensive expert knowledge in English (read: I grew up speaking it so that make me an automatic expert /s) to help out. If you’re already set for extra eyes, than I will continue look forward to the next chapter.
