sscout:
I have a question about the beta list, how can I join?
I don't want money or spoilers or to know something ahead of schedule, I just want to help get the books out faster. I proofed Brooke London's (http://www.facebook.com/brookelondon) Pitch Dark in about 1 week and caught a bunch of mistakes / typos her editors missed (didn't get paid either :P). I'm pretty sure he hasn't heard of this but I offered the same to Patrick Rothfuss, who last I checked keeps rewriting parts of book 2 of The Kingkiller Chronicles .
I've been editing / proofing 'for fun' since I started reading Enid Blyton around age 10. I've been editing / proofing profesionally since around 1997-8, mostly in spanish but lately mostly in english. The only large samples of my work are mostly translations or I'd put some of it up on the web.
Other than including it on my writer's resume I don't even know how I could possibly profit from doing this, unless someone recommended me to a publisher for online work. But I love the Dresden Files and Codex Alera, so I'm volunteering. That's all :)
sscout@gmail.com <-- I'll be more than happy to answer any questions here.

Hey, Jim!
Just missed you live on BBB this afternoon. I got home from work an hour after you wrapped up, with questions still burning in my head.
You have no idea how much of a pain it was for me to get back onto your site, when my old account --LogicMouse-- got all messed up, but I set up a new e-mail just for you, you bastard, so I hope you answer at least one of my questions, even if it's only with your sing-song-y tag line. ;D
So anyway, on with the questions.
1: Who do you think you're kidding? I mean (click to show/hide)After the hit he took in the Erlking's hall and walked away without a scratch, you seriously expect anyone to believe that one measly little bullet will take Knight Harry down?
2: What happened to the migranes? You made a big deal of them having gone on for ~six months at the beginning of Turn Coat, but there's not a word on the subject in Changes. Did it just fall off the edge of your plate, or was the omission deliberate for some reason?
(and oh, yeah--first post, sorta!)

P.S. And no, folks, Jim can't be a Skavis--if he was why would he work so hard to make us HAPPY!?! I swear, even when tears are streaming down my face, I'm still grinning so hard my cheeks hurt. Thanks, JB!

Make it to 20,000 and get in the next book, too ;)

Fine, so he's a lust child of a Skavis and a Raith - we despair and we LOVE it.
