I want to be a beta demon please. A big, mechanized one..

All posting here shall be spontaneously beta-demonized.

There will also be a link, as before and this time people should get some confirmation of the acceptance immediately. It will still take a bit of random time (an hour or two) for the forum topics to open, but the beta demon sections of the library and the download will become available up right away.

The delay is because the forum membership and site membership roles only sync every hour or two. Have not been able to speed that up. By and large it only matters during beta demonization.

T-A-G is in crazy overdrive trying to get a first draft done. He absolutely needs to start the beta process by the end of the month to have any chance of getting the book out this year.

Optimistically, if 1 month of beta, then 6 weeks of editor then 2 weeks of prep, that's like 3 months: Sep, Oct, Nov-> Dec 1 release.

Last year Beta went for like 2 or 3 months, don't recall...it was necessary, hopefully not this year, but we will know the amount of screeching and screaming, and general level of agony and torment coming from the beta demon pits.

You do realize that you will all be tossed into beta demon pits for the duration? You will need to battle each other to get your screams and demands heard, but for those that survive? Glory!

Cool!

I can also assure you that in Book III we will be getting down into the weeds...so to speak.

Of course, part of that is because I discovered these dang varmints in my herb garden and had to deal with them.

I would love to be a beta demon!

Done and Done.

Bwah hah hah hah hah hah

THE FOG AND FOD ARE ON THE MOVE

bow before your god and grab the ..... Special Cookies

Hmm wonder if the any religion of astlan has the whole eating of stuff to symbolize God's body parts. Other than a cannibal cult of course.

I sold my soul for the last beta. I am willing to offer someone else's soul for this beta!

I had hoped, but I didn't get it done. It is going to be a working vacation, both for one client I have doing stuff next week and for finishing up with the book.

I am basically down to "the final leadup" to the "final event" (of this volume) but because it arguably the "biggest event" "largest scale" event "involving the most characters" of the entire 3 book set so far, that's still a big pile of words. One event, multiple groups of protagonists and antagonists.

I am looking for September 1/Labor Day weekend kick off.

Yes, thank you for trying hard to get it to us, but take your time. I know I would rather a late but refreshed author over an overworked one who drops off the "grid" out of exhaustion. Don't hurt yourself, that's what us demons are for, after all.
