I also want to be a beta demon!

For the answer to that question, you'll need to get in line behind me!

I've been asking that lazy T-A-G for some time now when he's gonna get his act together and go to beta-Tizzation!

So far, D'Crickets.

An ounce?

If you do that much at once, you'll overshoot Astlan and probably end up 3 multiverses over....

Hmm, sounds like a great party game! We spin the bottle, whoever it lands on does an ounce of Demon Weed and has to report back to us within the next thousand years where they ended up (need to give them time to get back). Hmm, wondering if we need to wait for their return before spinning again? Could end up being a VERY long party if so.

Thinking we do it asynchronously, so we don't wait for each person to come back before we spin again.

But who will be left to clean up the empty bodies?

Maybe need to have a chaperone. I already know Reggie won't agree to be the chaperone. Nor would Arghy, nor Phaesty or Volly, Tom probably would though. I sometimes get the feeling he doesn't like weed.

Well, I saw T-A-G pounding away at his keyboard most all day yesterday. Hoping he's getting there.

But to be honest, I am not thinking July.

Will cross fingers for August, late August....

As has happened before, he paused for a bit on OOA, and then got on a roll on Book IV, but OOA is the closest to completion, simply because Book IV is twice as long, or is planned to be. It has a maximum size based on how many pages and how small a font the Dead Tree edition can be. OOA and COA were always thought to be shorter books.

OOA will be multiple books where 2 OOA = 1 DOA roughly.

COA I am not sure on, these are all single POV, so in COA vol II I might do a different POV not sure yet. I just know where COA concludes, and maybe that is Happily Ever After. Too soon to tell, and too many other plotlines for T-A-G to deal with.

DOA is expected to be about 7 books, although it could be more, at one time it was to be a Trilogy of Trilogies, but that is 9 books, which is not a prime number so that means 7, 11 or 13 and obviously, 7 and 13 are more significant, and thus auspicious than 11.

The problem is T-A-G has gone all GRRM and to get to 13 books might take longer than a human lifetime.

I wonder if I could stuff it in a computer, but with only AOL access, don't want him surfing the web too much, just enough to upload the books to Amazon and email to Tantor.

I know for a fact he gets distracted by EvilBook.com and other deleterious sites.

Super!




Knowing T-A-G I am sure the beta will be ready in a short eon!

I would like to sign up as a beta demon please! I've read each book too many times to count by this point!

Tizzy I've been eagerly awaiting the beta for a while as well. I tend to check the forum after my rereads, should I look for a new thread or will you put the sign up in here?

If you are still taking beta readers I would be more than willing.

Cool!

T-A-G is moving along, I suspect the next beta should occur with an average (alvaren) lifespan.
