No need for that!

So, I might need another beta reader for Blank Sprite. by Sergio Turbo on 2014-04-22 10:26:00 UTC Reply

However, a word of warning: Blank Sprite is quite a complex and "unusual" PPC story (as the ones who read the first two chapters may have noticed), so I'd prefer an oldbye.
Not that a newbye isn't good, mind you - it's just that I'd prefer someone with good PPC knowledge and a good amount of experience to "tackle" this.

Knowledge of Madoka Magica is welcome but not required (I got that pretty much covered), while knowledge of Alarm for Cobra 11 isn't required at all.

I'd be willing to help out! by Outhra on 2014-04-26 17:43:00 UTC Reply

I was going to send this post last night, but my Kindle ate it, and I see that as of now I've already been beaten to the punch. Still, though, if you'd still be interested, I'd like to beta-read for you! Blank Sprite has been both unique and great so far, and I'd love to help out with it.

Sure. by Sergio Turbo on 2014-04-27 09:50:00 UTC Reply

I kinda need an address to send the Google Drive invitation to, though. Thank you!

Oh, right. by Outhra on 2014-04-27 15:06:00 UTC Reply

My e-mail addresses are archived in this post. I prefer to be contacted through the Yahoo one, since I check it more frequently, but either will work.

I'll actually use the Gmail one by Sergio Turbo on 2014-04-27 19:55:00 UTC Reply

You know, because that's what you actually need to use to access the GDrive document.

Looks like no one's offered by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-04-26 15:32:00 UTC Reply

and since I don't want to see a good story like Blank Sprite die out for lack of a beta, I'll gladly do it.

One question, though: What happened to the original beta?

Well... by Desdendelle on 2014-04-27 08:07:00 UTC Reply

As one of the two original betas, I can say that recently I couldn't even read (let alone write or beta).
That's quite frustrating.
Sergio, if you're still interested... by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-04-27 04:46:00 UTC Reply

send me an e-mail. There's a link to my email in my username.

Well... by Sergio Turbo on 2014-04-27 10:06:00 UTC Reply

I'm sorry, but for now Outhra fits the bill more and I'd like not to add too many people on the GDrive doc for now. (Also because I don't want to end up with more beta readers than actual readers. That would be silly)

Still, I really appreciated your offer, I'll definitley call you right away in case I need more betas.

Also, sorry for answering this late. Yesterday I didn't check the Board at all because I was out of home all day, and I don't exactly have a cellphone contract allowing me to surf the Web at a reasonable price.

No problem. by son_of_heaven176 on 2014-04-27 14:45:00 UTC Reply

But you did not answer my original question: What happened to your previous beta(s)? You obvioulsy are looking for antoher beta for a reason...

That might be my fault; I'm one of the betas, but my RL's been really busy lately. I'm, um, I'm actually in the middle of writing an apology email about that. But yeah, that's what's happened to one of the previous betas.

Hey, everyone's got his own RL issues, right? To be sincere, I'm actually behind schedule with both Blank Sprite and IrregularS due to IRL issues (mostly bad health and bad mood due to having had an idiotic argument with some friends, but I've been quite busy too)

Anyways, the reason is pretty simple: my "usual" beta readers are having quite a busy time so I'm asking for some more help to lift some load off their shoulders.
