The hacking 50k words out of Boralos is still underway, having been interrupted by various pesky excrescences of real life. I'm about six chapters from the end (of sixty chapters), and looking like being about 130k words by the time I'm finished. That's slightly less than I was asked to cut out (50 rather than 60k) but I'm pretty happy with it as a ( Read more... )

Ooh, yes please. I'd love your opinion. I will be in touch!

i am a reader who has never seen the thing before (despite your having put it in front of me)! and i have much more time on my hands now than when i was a reader who had never seen the thing before in its first go-round! i'd be happy to help!

Ooh, that would be lovely. I will be in touch when the thing is finally done, and you can assess then whether you have time. ♥!

I'm available, too. No preconceptions. Some qualifications. Lots of good will.

cupiscent March 31 2012, 07:15:55 UTC

Thank you! I will be in touch.

Sooooo, I have finally reached a point where it's ready for the hounds. I know I've had your email address in the past, but it has slipped through the internet-cracks. Anyway, I've sent an email to you via LJ, which I hope works, but if you don't get it, drop me a line (cupiscent @ gmail) and I will send again! :)

I'll read it! It'd be like making sure the lowest common denominator is capable of understanding it!

That Jensen-expression and that comment are forming some kind of strange alchemy in my brain. I don't know what it means, but it's portentious. And also, thank you. I will be in touch!

I think you've got more readers than you'll need but I'll toss my hat into the ring too.

cupiscent March 31 2012, 07:29:17 UTC

Would be very interested in your opinion, though! I will be in touch when things are ready to go.

I'll be waiting for it! It's always been on my list to read, but I was going to wait for publication.
