indeedsir_backupWhat ho and whatnot!
The Jeeves And Wooster Around the World writing endeavour is coming along wonderfully; we're almost at 30,000 words and that's only five chapters. This will be a novel-length fic of epic proportions, which earns all those who've signed up huge cookies! *throws your way* There are just a few details I'm wondering about, for the final PDF file (though this is obviously a long time off). All co-authors (and interested spectators) are welcomed to voice their opinions!
1. The working title is "Jeeves and Wooster Around the World" - are you okay with this title, or if not, have you got any other suggestions? We'll have a poll if necessary ^^
2. As I compile the chapters into a document, I do not make alterations in the text - save minor spelling corrections. I've got my dictionary set on British English; does anyone object to this? The only real difference is that "traveling" becomes "travelling" and "favorite" becomes "favourite" etc. But don't hesitate to protest if this doesn't work for you!
3. Should we have the entire thing looked over by a beta in the end, or shall we content ourselves with each writer's individual beta-ing? I don't want to be a grammar Nazi, but if glaring errors occur at some point (they haven't yet, I think), they should obviously be straightened out for the readers' benefit.
4. Would anyone be interested in my uploading this to lulu.com in the end (self-publishing site), with a link only accessible for us indeedsir'ers? If so, should we opt for an affordable paperback or a slightly less affordable bound edition?
Well, um, I've ranted enough now, I think. All and any feedback would be appreciated! And keep up the good work, writers and readers alike ^^

Date: 2009-08-19 08:38 am (UTC)Sorry, but I'll have to decline. I definitely don't have the time, plus I'm suffering from a lack of inspiration/motivation. And I'm having some serious computer problems, so I'm kind of worried my computer might die if I don't get a new antivirus program on it soon, in which case I couln't upload anything anyway. :(
I second the request for another artist to do some illustrations. I think
