All right, I've been silent here for awhile, over the past months, I have been working on a project I hope you guys & gals are going to love. I think you will anyway, I'm pretty excited about it myself. I'm trying to drum up interest before I actually release it to LAF to use.
Part of this will involve community testing. I will reveal no details at this time, but just know the audience is those who like to write fan fiction stories, or any stories at all, really... So I'm reaching out to you for some help with testing this project. I want a few people (2 or 3) to test out the program, find any bugs I may have missed, et cetera.
Requirements;
1. Windows PC (sorry Mac and Linux users...)
2. If you sign on to test, you can not share details about what you see with anyone until its publicly released to the rest of LAF, I don't want to ruin the surprise, and I don't want you to either.
Nondisclosure will be a mutual unwritten agreement. I won't do anything if you spoil the surprise but I will be very sad. I've put in close to two months of effort and personal time on this program, I want it to be as close to perfect as possible before I share it with my fellow LAF'ers.
3. Creative writing skills preferred but not required.
4. Provide feedback on anything you feel would be beneficial to the program; comments/thoughts about the interface/program flow would be welcomed. Suggestions are welcomed too, this is a program for the community, and while a small group of people does not comprise the overall community, since they are all like minded [fanfic authors] as opposed to myself, the perspective is a valued one in any case. I've had a few crazy ideas for this program that I've dismissed, but if you feel anything would be a useful addition, let me know.
5. If you find a bug, you have to be able to tell me how to reproduce it so I can fix the code (please note, no programming skills are required!)
6. Actual time to dedicate to this. Depends on my work schedule (work takes priority over this), but I'll try to communicate with you around twice a week, as well as working on the feedback comments.
7. I'm doing a tutorial video to introduce it instead of a help system, computer needs to have sound device and speakers/headphones. Or you can skip the tutorial and just dive right in, maybe its going to be that intuitive?
Thanks for your time and consideration, dear reader. If you are interested, let me know in this thread. I'll check back and decide around a Thursday/Friday timeframe.
I have more work to do with the program so I'll return to that and put on some last-minute essential code.
