Vinland: Help!

So, I've been thinking about how to get my writing more on track. It occurs to me that I've now been slaving on this thing for about three years now, and I just want to finish it. The problem is motivation, each time I sit down to work at it, I let out a big sigh, and switch to forums or something instead. It's not that it is bad - because it's not, it's just that I've been working at it for so long that I've become somewhat burned out.

Therefore, I've been thinking about ways of building up enthusiasm once again, and I want to try an experiment using something I know always gets me going again, more than any other; Pendor and it's community. Rules on Aftermath and Reborn keep advancing because you guys always gave me feedback, and really stimulated further work on it.

I am therefore thinking about publishing it, in its entirety on these boards (if the admins are so kind as to give me some space to do so, it'd have to be private to just active members of this forum) if anyone is interested in reading it. One chapter every 2-3 days. I am not asking for professional edits or anything, just a little feedback on each section, and suggestions for improvements. The book is written, it just needs to be edited and that is the perfect opportunity to get you guys involved.

Think of this as a closed alpha test, but for a book!

In exchange, I am willing to write a thank you in the book's credits, with a mention of your name (forum or real) for those who help me out. This is a great chance to put yourself down in history, because this book will be published, and its a way  to really let your creative juices flow and get involved in a big project.

Anyone interested?

Bitch, I'm all about professional edits.

...Irony aside, it is something I can do. >.> Well, more like amateur, but...I'm well practiced at it! I just don't have references.

Given my terrible spelling and utter disregard for the almighty comma, as seen by my posts, I don't know how much help I would be.

I would like to read it however.

Honestly, just knowing people are interested and reading it would be a massive help too!

I would love to read it, but don't expect anything productive regarding edits, I have enough problems with my own language =)

I think I still have a Vinland draft somewhere, but I haven't even finished reading that one... sorry xD

I'd still love to help, but I'm confident my English fails in comparison to your own and some of our american patriots.

I guess I could help however I can.

In most cases, actual Englishmen dispute that.

They are also fools. >.>

I'll also be happy to lend my aid if required.

Only if by doing so you edit in a wise cracking kangaroo who worships loki and uses blood eagle torture as a practical joke. And of course a token willowy elven hotty with a perfect tan and ripped abs and big strong arms to hold me in.


As female fan service of course
