Ha. My poor Out Of Bounds betas.

[icarus]

At least they're not whimpering yet.

You see, perfica has done a lot of work on Out Of Bounds over the months, and now the new betas are jumping into the middle of the pond.

I had no idea we'd fleshed out so much backstory.

In just three days rabidfan, dossier, sarka, and emeraldsword have been flooded with 21 back-and-forth emails and a massive story outline spreadsheet. Mostly me pouring it out to (on?) them. None of the emails are short. I realize, of course, that a lot of this is catch-up work. dossier and rabidfan are the most involved in the discussion so far (especially dossier, wow), while sarka and emeraldsword will most likely be more involved in the beta of specific scenes.

The back room of Out Of Bounds is a busy place. And I'm not even giving them all the skating videos I watch (mostly because it's a paid site).

Should I be this gleeful about overworking my betas? Or maybe I'm just happy that they know that yes, sometimes I'm slow to update but by god, I'm always working on this thing, always, I take my notebook to bed with me at night, I'm not shitting you. Or perhaps it's just fun to share the music and the cool stuff that's coming because I can't wait but there's lots of transitional stuff to wade through until we get there.

Heh. I think that last one's it, actually. *g* I mean, Blink 182? Is so 28-year-old John.

whee! I'm thoroughly enjoying it, thank you! I will admit that I'm crap with commas, so having a pair that's willing to do line edits on specific scenes is fabulous.

I meant to remark on the Blink 182--I agree completely, I think that is right up John's alley, and Rodney would hate it.
