EDIT: It was brought to my attention that doing a one-hour timeframe wasn't fair to Americans who are at this time at work or school. Fine. I'm tacking on 23 hours and the story will be selected tomorrow around this time!
ANOTHER EDIT: Here is the e-mail address: alexfvance+deareditor@gmail.com :)
So, I was recently reminded that I'm an editor. I've delegated most of the duties I used to perform for Bad Dog Books, for instance to the excellent Buck Turner, editor of ROAR and the double whammy Graveyard Greg and Skip Ruddertail who oversee FANG these days.
In the last few weeks I was asked to look over a script or two and provide notes, and I realized that I'd forgotten how nice it is to be able to use such experience and insight as I have to help people improve their work.
So. Today I will edit one story, by one of you. Let's say a maximum of 7000 words. No need to go crazy, right? Porn is fine.
There's no contest. I'm going to pick one at random from what I receive, but there is one rule:
The notes I provide will be made public.
So, send your story to this e-mail address, or tweet me the link of your story (and include the #deareditor hashtag for good measure).
Commentary will be critical but fair, constructive and to the point.
All clear? Send it.

I'll check if the story is under 7000 words. If so, I'll send it to your email.
