Day 1168: Attention Beta Readers

Today is the day I’m asking for betas. I can use a half dozen people who can answer the question:

Does this story work?

I talked about what I’d like to hear about from betas in this morning’s talk. I’m also trying to get another 7k day in so … patience may be required.

    Hi Nathan,

    I would be honored to beta read Milk Run. I also beta’d In Ashes Born if that is useful.

  5. Tony says:

    I’d love to help again, but am going on vacation on the 3rd. If you finish in the next day or two I could read before I go, but if not, I’m sure you’ll get enough reader anyway. 😉

    I would gladly beta read again. To help you know if the story works.

    Cheers Eddy.

    I was a broadcast engineer for 30 years. I worked as an operational engineer. I didn’t design the stuff I just made sure it worked correctly and at the right time.

    My time as a transmitter engineer was much like Ish’s time in environmental. Right down to the transmitter equivalent to a VSI. Once a day I have to take readings from every meter in all three transmitters (AM, FM & TV) I was responsible for.

    Basically operational engineers spend their time tweaking & peaking & monitoring & monitoring & monitoring. As an example in camera control you set up the cameras. Make minor adjustments (tweaking) to make sure they are aligned properly. Make sure they are operating at best performance level (peaking). Then monitor them to see how the perform and adjust (tweak) as needed.

    Things like cameras & mics need constant adjustment as conditions change. There are operations that must be coordinated with split second accuracy. Rundowns/logs are required & must be followed.

    Transmitters are your basic “boring is good” cuz when it’s not boring the transmitters are down. The station isn’t making money & people want that fixed now.

  15. Mary T. says:

    Would happy to be a beta for “Milk Run.”

  16. Skwoerner says:

    If there are any slots left, I’d love the opportunity to beta read for you again.

  17. Tara Li says:

    Too bad I can’t be a beta reader. ????

  18. George says:

    I would love the chance to do another beta read. If you are still open, I can read it pretty quickly.

  19. Sean says:

    Would love to beta again; hopefully not too late.

  20. Ada Kerman says:

    I’ve been a fan of the setting since the early days on Podiobooks, but haven’t been a beta reader before. If you still need readers I would be pleased and honored to help out. epub format is better for me. Now that I’m done voting on the Hugos I should have enough reading time available to devote to Milk Run.

  21. Justin Cooper says:

    Nathan,
    If you still need them, I would love to be a beta reader.

  22. Eric Fitts says:

    Nathan,

    I’ve been a silent fan since nearly the beginning of solar clipper series (found the podiobooks before they were published). I would love to beta read if you’re still looking for volunteers. I actually have a good amount of time now that my dissertation is defended.
