Concept art for a tf sequence I want to do. People draw goblin tf, but I like two things: cultural shifts, and Warcraft style sleazebag goblins, and Iโ€™ve never seen that sweet spot hitโ€ฆ

A human who has been turned into a goblin for a specialized tour wears a shirt that says โ€œhuman tourist - do not mugโ€. An unknown amount of time later, they have been warped from a human dressed as a goblin, to a true goblin through and through. She now possesses more defined features, gaudier fashion, a worse attitude, and much nastier colors, now clearly fully naturalized to whatever polluted glitzy dump of a city she was visiting.

I wish I got any inherent enjoyment out of the process of doing makeup. I like looking pretty, but can't stand putting makeup on, it's SO boring and I'm no good at it (because I don't enjoy it enough to practice). So I basically don't wear makeup and haven't for maybe 2-3 years now.

In the original draft, it sorta felt like things had petered out, and so I noted that I felt this reduced the energy of the scene too much, and so it was changed to the crowd being rowdy with excitement/outrage, but nobody daring to put in another bid. The story beat is the same, but the energy and

Spelling doesn't tend to be such an issue, since spellcheckers can usually catch that regardless of context. Grammar is definitely part of it, though the extent of that can vary. More importantly, probably, is adjusting stuff for flow. Does a sentence read well, or is it hard to parse? Does it make

It was a pleasure to edit, since I got to go feral over it while doing so!

Yeah, that makes total sense! I'd need to figure out what my rates would be because I've never really done it professionally before, but it's something I've been doing a lot for friends lately and they say I'm good, so...!

Ah, thank you, that's good to know! I'm mainly gauging interest atm, so would need to figure out rates and stuff but it's good to know there IS interest!

Ruby edited all 36,000 words of Race to the Bottom. It wouldn't have been half as hot if she didn't do such an absolutely EXCELLENT job of making it so much better!!! You should be interested, imo.

Question: Would there be any interest if I were to start offering editing services?

A Rubydoodle of @neriumlorese.bsky.social's Lancer villain, Maximal Value!

I also tried McGinnis and I liked her. And Drifter was cool, but I think I just wasn't very good at playing how he was supposed to be played. Still good, though.

I have found the first Deadlock hero I think I actively do not vibe with, and it's Pocket. Maybe I was just playing bad, perhaps need to try more. (I think I need to try Lash more to decide whether I vibe with him or not. But I like that he sparkles.)
