Dark an I are co-writing this story. Of course, it's rather slow, and takes a lot of work, and is going to be a challenge for both of us.
Looks here for details:
In short, I'm looking for editors, and an extra writer for when C1 comes into play.
If you're interested, post here. In the thread linked above, post a paragraph telling her and I why we should select you for one of our two editors, or for C1's writer. If you'd like to be C1's writer, please attach a sample(or a link to a sample) of your work.
This is what you'll need to be able to do:
-Be on often.
-Be able to use proper grammar and spelling.
-Be prompt, and get the editing done before our personal deadlines. (I'm thinking a week and a half per chapter.)
-Be trustworthy. We'll be giving you the pass to our joint account, and we'll have to think you can do it. (Dark will have to approve, as well as myself.) -

Alright.
You have to post a paragraph in the linked thread explaining why we should pick you.
This is the soap plot the story is based on:
Earth in 3202 is very different than the earth we inhabit now. Humans have developed into an amazingly advanced civilization- And crashed, completely destroying each other and going back to square one, the knowledge of before lost. Humans live in small groups, like tribes, moving with their food and the seasons. They have no desire to learn anything about what the world had been like- Until the masses become sick with some disease, something that they have no knowledge of how to cure.
C1 was born into one of the worlds most powerful and largest tribes. S/he is the only child to the leader of said tribe, and highly guarded and watched over. At night, though, they often sneak out and go to the meadows of their land to just be alone. They love it that, as it's incredibly peaceful. That is, until one night, they find C2, naked and out cold, laying in the middle of the grass. They wake them, give them their shaw/jacket and question the stranger. Upon finding that they have no recollection of who there are, where they're from, where they are, or why they're their, C1 takes her/him back to camp. It's not long until C2 settles into life, being given a name and a position. Although C1 feels some sort of special bond for C2, there's no way the two can be friends- C1 is royalty, after all. It's not until almost half the tribe is killed by the disease that C1 and C2 speak again. C2 sneaks into their tent in the middle of the night and confronts them. C2 insists that s/he knows what the disease is, and knows how to cure it- Or, rather, where to find the cure. Of course, C1 writes them off as insane, and returns to their life without a thought- Until their own father falls sick. This time, they seek out C2, begging them to help- And it's not hard. They embark on a mission to find the cure before time runs out. They have less than a month, though, as that's when the effects case death. However, when C2 takes C1 to a place they had heard horror stories about, everything goes wrong. The cities are an area of thousands of miles of ruins. They thought they were deserted, but the two quickly find that it's not true. Will they ever get out in time?
Please see the linked thread for other details. -

Let me help you with some things that might make it flow better.
The first part is sort of hazy and you don't want that, you want your readers to get a clear, and descriptive picture of what he/she is reading.
Earth has evolved over the last thousand years, I doubt that if you could see it that you would even recognize it as a place that once held large city's full of nonsense people and beautiful forests and natural landmarks.
I fear we burdened earth greatly with our bustling economys reaching from the highest taiga to the hottest coal spewing volcanos. We kept building and building and harvesting natural resources from earth's mantle. In fact we had just recently begun using a massive pocket of limestone found in a underground cavern as an alternative to car gasoline.
People now have lost all superior intelligence, our economy was run by absolute morons who never though twice about-oh let's see, carving out limestone for fuel without surveying the area around it scientificly, they never thought it was a dull idea to build their capitol building on a area very prone to sinkholes, and their last mistake that they ever made, building thousands of skyscrapers out of cement entirly and stretching them up to extreme measures.
Millennium, that peculiar city made of cement mounted together by a 'strong' solution. That city was their greatest downfall because one warm day when people were all inside drinking warm lemonade and trying to beat the heat, a space craft surveying the city from up above fell crashing into a variety of the large buildings causing them to crack, and rain down upon the people of the Millennium and destroying the city with a sort of domino effect.
.
This disaster caused a massive earthquake, the earthquake lead to the destruction of several other city's which lead to a tsunami that destroyed what was once known as "Japan " and a variety of other islands and finally totaling all of the eastern se 0aboard -
I pressed the submit button too soon, give me a minute to finish it.

It's going to be written in third person(Limited).
That was just the plot that I wrote for a soap that got the ball rolling. The story line itself has already been decided, as well as how the world got to that point. I know how to write descriptions. I wasn't writing one then, I was outlining the plot.
I'm actually writing the first chapter now, along with a description for the story. Thank you for your input, though. You write very well. Are you interested in being an editor?
