Some Stuff I Need to Say · 9:25am Jun 2nd, 2020
I unpublished my "The Dark Side of the Moon" because I found an editor (Whisper Quill) and I want the entire story edited, not just the upcoming ones.
Also, The Sound of Loneliness said my latest chapter was a raw script, so I gotta fix that. I feel honoured that the author I look up to is reading my stories :D. No offense to other authors...

It's fine! I had to have someone explain it to me too. XD
Editors are, essentially, co-writers. They go to the roots of a story and revise, they have just as much control over a story as the writer does. They can help with the plot as well as the more trivial issues of grammar.
A proofreader corrects smaller mistakes, such as grammar or punctuation.

Oh ok! Thanks for the welcome!
And is it ok if you tell me what is the difference of an editor and a proofreader?
Sorry, I'm a really stupid fifth grader..
Oh, hey there, I see you're fairly new to FiMfiction! Welcome, friend!
I see you've made the acquaintance of Sound of Loneliness already. :) (I'm his editor, and in turn he is my proofreader.)
