Call For Readers (Mark XVI)
« on: July 25, 2005, 03:01:32 PM »
THE WELL OF ASCENSION is finished, and I don't believe I've offered it up for reads yet.  So, here we go.   Anyone who wants to give this a read, let me know, and I'll fire you off a copy.  

This call is only for those who've done reads for me before, unfortunately.  Those of you who are newer to the boards may not realize this, but many of the people here are friends of mine in RL.  If you hang around for a few years and seem like a trustworthy type, I might be persuaded to send you copies of future books.  However, I need to be VERY careful with electronic copies (as you might imagine) of my novels.

There will be a physical copy going around Utah eventually, and I'll let anyone who asks nicely read that one.  

Also, the Alcatraz First-Person rewrite/general cleanup is finished.  Any of you who read the first draft, and want to see what I did with this version, are welcome to post for a copy here.  Also, if you've never read this one, it's quite quick and (hopefully) a fun read.  I could use feedback, now that it's in the format I want.

You can send them both to me, as I never got back to the old version of Alcatraz after the first three chapters. Sorry, work has been pretty crazy. But I'm reserving weekends for personal reading now--it's draining me to keep bringing work home. Hopefully I can read them both before Labor Day and give you feedback then--that work?

Stop writing, damnit! You make everyone else look slothlike. :P

I'll pass this time. I have 4 books to work though, including that 800 giant that Jeffe recommended and 3/4 of the illuminatus trilogy.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

If you'll trust me with the paper manuscript when I'm in Utah, I'd love to read it.

Otherwise I'll just have to sit out and sulk and wait for it to get published.  =þ

Brandon, I *live* with you and I don't even know what Well of Ascension is. Or at least, if I do, I've forgotten.

Anyway, I cancelled my WoW subscription so I could force myself to read the new Potter book, so I might as well read this new one you've got. Whatever it is.

You can send me Well of Ascension. I'm rather comfortable reading from a screen (particularly since I can control the formatting), so the electronic version will do for me. Just remember to nag me for comments.

Would one have to have read Mistborn first?

If not, and, if I am invited, I would read it for you.

I'd love to read over this story (if you can forgive me for not sending my Alcatraz comments to you in time).
