I could send you this copy edit, I suppose.  I SHOULD have it done in time.  The problem is, I'd finish it in about a week.  I could mail it to you, but it has to be back to Tor by the 16th.  I just don't think we could get it back to them in time.  Maybe if I finish it by the 10th, send it to you by two-day priority, then give you money to send it to them by the same speed.  Still, that would only give you about two days to read through the entire book.  

Doesn't look like we have enough time.  

Looks like.

Are they doing any advanced reader copy-type galleys? If not, oh well...
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I read Mistborn One and gave you vocal comments, but never got around to writing my reactions down, so I don't know if that counts. I'll be in the second Mistborn's acknowlegements because of Writing Group, though, and that's good enough for me.

EUOL, I've got WELL on my computer but haven't been able to finish it yet, what with classes. Are you still looking for comments? Speak now or forever forgo the brilliant comments I'd produce! Going once, going twice . . .  

Otherwise I'll read the ms. purely for the fun of it with no guilt whatsoever.  ;)

Oh, and thanks for including me on the Mistborn Acknowledgments. That'll be awesome.  :D

I read the first Mistborn with Vin and provided comments.  Second one too for that matter.

Yup--sorry, Skar.  I'd already thought of you, but hadn't gotten you on this list yet.

Hey. Just wondering if you'd put together the updated list yet.

Awesome! :D Thanks.

I also asked, though, because I was sort of curious to know approximately how many people read and commented on this one--and if it was more than commented on Elantris. Just got to wondering about it the other day.

oops, guess I should have given you some feedback other than "That was way awesome!"  I'll do better next time...
