I know it would be lovely -- I've thought about appealing to Amanda's
expertise myself on occasion -- but think about it.  Would somebody who
edits all day for a living (and editing is hard, tiring, often overwhelming
work) want to spend their spare time doing even *more* editing for free?
Especially considering that the majority of fanfic is written "for fun"
rather than to a professional standard, thus making it harder slogging than
anything the editor would see at work...

Nope, I don't blame Amanda a bit.
