Need a new editor · 7:54pm Jun 14th, 2016
I can't reach one of my old editors and the other one just doesn't have time.
Any takers for editing and proofreading on the (nearly completed) last chapter?

Dear god I am being slow on this. No worries, I'm still around, and I am working on the story. This will get finished.
(I felt the need to make this post after reading the comments on Hard Reset 2.)
Hum di dum di dum, showing signs of life, la la la...
Yeah, next chapter (which is not what I promised it would be, sorry guys, I felt like we needed something between point A and point B) just got past my first editor pass, and I've passed it on to my second editor. Should be up in... Hmm, given my track record, less than a year, more than a week? :V
Finnicky little details. Stupid finnicky little details.
Take a minute out of your day to watch this if you haven't already. If you already have, watch it again. It's glorious.
...Oh right, updates. Well, I've had some issues the last few weeks, but now I'm gonna bolt myself down and finish this last chapter. Just to give you all a little teaser of what to expect, the title is "Beat Me Like A Drum".
So I'm about 3/4ths of the way done with the chapter. First half of the main clop scene is done; second one needs a little planning. Then my editor pointed out that the story disgusted her - Vinyl was downright evil and manipulative, James was a bit too dopey and gullible and character-less... Seriously, he was like the worst kind of dopey, do-nothing protagonist who just goes along with everything, which makes about no sense given his previous characterization.
So I've been working very closely with my editor/coauthor Laury on this chapter, and we're mostly done. I'm at the point where I think another pair of eyes checking for style, tone, pacing, writing, etc. would be prudent before we publish. Any takers?
EDIT: set, thanks.
Or something. My bio page just feels horribly empty.
I finished my first story. Yay!
I know exactly where the next chapter or two is going. Yay!
All in all, feeling pretty good about it. Yay!
So yeah. Stuff.
...Not sure what else to say.
Anyone know good ways of publicizing your work? I posted it on reddit, but I'm not sure where else I should share it around. Any suggestions? :)
