Opening for Prereaders for Stains
4 years ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
So, I've come to the decision that I would like to go ahead and get started on the prereading for Stains.
And what, you may ask, is Stains?
Stains is the for-some-reason-long-awaited continuation of the events of Tinged, dealing with the continued spread of Nonification across Equestria, Twilight Sparkle's efforts to combat it, and the revelations which she and her friends must come to in the process. It is a fetishistic horror story with a heavy emphasis on characters overcoming their pain and trauma.
As of this writing, it is currently clocking in at approximately eighty-eight thousand words. Given this, I feel it is necessary to get some additional eyes to have a look at the story to make it less likely that any mistakes slip through the cracks, and for some potential input.
Please bear in mind that this is not a small undertaking I am asking for. More than merely reading the text, I am looking for input and attention to detail, to check for errors, inconsistencies, and thematic or plot-related concerns. To say nothing of the length, given that, again, the story is sitting at ~88k words and looking to have in the ballpark of another 40k left to go. I'm hoping to have the initial draft completed by the end of November and the whole story done and ready to go up by the end of the year, so there's plenty of time but it's still preferable to have that input as early as possible, in case there's anything I need to take into account for the later chapters. Reading Tinged is not specifically required, but considering it's far shorter it's probably worth looking at and if it's not your cup of tea then Stains probably won't be either. Lastly I would say it's important to be aware that this is a story which, in addition to its fetish content, deals with some heavy mental health themes in its latter parts, so if that's something you don't feel comfortable approaching then this might not be the story for you.
If you are interested in offering your assistance for this effort, please contact me via notes for further discussion (or or on Discord if you have me there already). Also I'm probably going to set up google docs for making suggestions on the text, so you'll need to have a google account so I can give you the appropriate permission and access for it.

Oh dang. That's a big monster of a story. I dunno if I have the right skillset for helping proofread it, but I am eagerly looking forward to seeing it when it's finished, especially with how phenomenal the first part is!
