Beta Request Gaiden: Thunder Shock by Damian Brighte on 2022-07-18 19:14:55 UTC Beta request Reply

This is a reiteration of my previous beta request in case people have stopped being busy since then. The mission is 12000 words long, but I wrote an updated version of the 2000-word intro and I feel I could use feedback on both versions as a compare/contrast thing. Continuum is The Simpsons, and if someone could get back to me that'd be great.

As far as I can tell, Damian, you got Permission in 2020 and haven’t written anything since then. I have not read the Permission Request, but...it got you Permission, so I’d assume it’s pretty good. However, having your first mission be a 120,000 word monster is...not the greatest idea. It’s a LOT to ask of anyone, either to read or beta. If you want, you can send it over to me, and I’ll try to give feedback, but I think it’d be much easier to write a few shorter missions first. (My first [and only (so far)] mission, I believe was around 2000 words or so.) Maybe the intro would be better as an interlude?

Thank you very much! by Damian Brighte on 2022-07-19 19:57:04 UTC Reply

I really don't try to write 12,000 word monsters! They just... happen. The writing takes on a life of its own. And I did publish two things, but I haven't gotten around to updating the wiki yet because of procrastination for the former and me doing something really stupid on the latter that made me not want to look at it again and probably alienated a lot of the people who were willing to beta for me. (I've also decided that the former is non-canon, because it sucks.)

Anyway, I'll try to send it to you ASAP! What's your email?

Oh. I misread that. by Linstar on 2022-07-19 20:38:22 UTC Reply

I thought you said 120,000 words, not 12,000. My email is available by clicking on my name. (Side note: your name is still Neo Skater if you do that. It can be changed.)

I don’t know much about the Simpsons, though.
