Forming a corporation?
OK, I could work on that angle wile waiting on 14.
I see Ryk pushing an IPO next year and Goldman Sachs taking the whole thing global.
That would presents a real possibility of having Ryk work with a floor of ghost writers working 3 shifts to meet the deadline.
Start with having a new book every month until able to push weekly.
And of course, hire Jeff full time to do audio books just for us.
I get hired for the air quality advisor position and read books all day. Perfect.
Maybe as a first assignment, have those guys go back and run through the first 8 or so books. There are a lot of small mistakes such as "As the eight men arrived at the base of the weapon, each man dropping to one knee." at location 4968 of book 6. They are small, but they do detract from the experience. Kindle offers an update feature where you can push updates to books to the readers pretty easily.
I'd let them practice on those before taking on the new stuff.
Seconded, I hate re-reading the same mistakes, the little buggers. It will also get them up to speed on the story, if they know the story they will more easily spot things like the wrong rank being used in spots. Lt Commander Eckart on the Scout ship at one point... Who? They had a Commander Eckart, I think you ment him.
Those books need a look over, shouldn't take much of your time, and it fixes a problem with your back catalog.
Book 6 location 6020 - "Six fighters had been lost attempting to destroy the palace’s anti-aircraft defenses, and the attack had only resulted in the destruction of one of the palace’s may guns."
Many guns, I expect? Again, small but distracting.
Book 6 location 6175 - "“Several of the pilots report seeing chutes, but no one could confirm that of the pilots that ejected had made it safely to the ground.”"
Perhaps it was meant to be "... confirm that any of the pilots..."
I am sorry for the repetitive posts, but I am deep in a re-read of book 6 right now.

states Summer 2015...
Summer 2015 ends astronomically on Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at 08:22 UTC...
after that moment, I will get anxious, not a second before.
No pressure on Ryk at all, just putting my mind in control over my thoughts...
@rykbrown do you need online (or better said, remote) proofreaders?
Yep, me too. I will be willing to do it for free. I am stuck in Afghanistan for the next year or so. All I do is read in my off time.
Who do we think will command the new attack ships? - If Captain Nash and Commander Eckert live I see both getting the first two attack ships. And spending time training up crews for them before they are flight ready. I imagine we will see the two commanders on the other scout ships heading up the next two after that, with maybe a few of the Jump shuttle crews taking on a few more of them.
Will they be crewed by predominantly Tannan people, or a combination from Earth and Tannan or a combination with the PC?
Will they be set up for scouting missions too or will they be more tactically focused then the current scout ships? - I would prefer some additional armor with my shields thanks
Will we see multiple fleets in the Sol Sector? - Aurora fleet (Aurora + 2 fast attack ships + Falcon wing of 8 402's), Celestia fleet (Celestia + 2 fast attack ships + a Falcon wing of 8 402's), and Attack fleets 1, 2, and 3 (of 3 fast attack ships, each lead by a scout ship)
Will we see the Tannan Attack Ship Production Base also producing 402's and jump gunships? Or a second production base on Earth - You know because we cannot rely on PC reinforcements.
Will we see the Tannan & Other leadership in the stories or are we just going to have off script characters? - I don't mind, I like the interplay we have been seeing between characters.
PS. My friends the Sheehans, have a dog named Loki (Big Marvels Avengers fan's). I don't quite know what to make of a person and a dog sharing a name, but it is funny for me to imagine Loki as a small white fluffball. 🙂
The Cetian asteroid shipyard should be also a good production facility for bigger ships.
The Alliance needs desperately a lot of more bigger, jump-capable ships to protect the newly liberated systems. The Aurora and the Celestia simply cannot protect more than one system at a time and we know that the Scout ships are not big enough even if they would be geared up with immense plasma canons...
No one is commenting on “Fall of the Core” mentioned on April 10? Perhaps I had missed that tidbit in some other forum/post.
Oh, and where's the sign-up page for volunteer proof readers?
This is my first post, and after having read all 13 episodes in a row, I can wait a while for 14. I must say that this was quite similar to the nirvana I experienced reading the first nine Malazan books in a row. Total immersion for days on end. Nothing like it, so thanks Ryk for making my life a lot happier because of this extraordinary series.
In order to solve my production problems (specifically to prevent delays due to overbooked indie editors/proofreaders) we’re forming a corporation and have hired full-time employees to do the proofreading, editing, data collection, etc… (Nothing motivates people more than regular pay and medical benefits.) I’m trying to get things setup so that all I have to do is write, so that I can get work out faster while improving the overall quality and consistency of the work. Ideas is not my problem. Time is my problem.
I think we have un-masked the leader of the Jung....his name is Ryk. He is going to take over the world with his new corporation. We need to start checking our urine for Jung nanites.
Just kidding......I cannot wait for the next installment.
Wow I cannot believe you have gone from one person in your basement to Corporate CEO. The American Dream I hope you find time to enjoy it but in the mean time back to work your fans are waiting for the next installment.
Nope, I’ve already started writing episode 14. Both 14 and 15 will be out this year. That production cycle won’t start until part 2. And I’ll be writing and releasing “Fall of the Core” shorts between part 1 and part 2 to keep you all busy. (Hoping for 1 per month.)
Ryk from the schedule I am seeing is it possible episode 14 will be out in July?
Thanks
Chris
Nope. It's going to be a long episode, as will #15. Currently, it's looking more like August.
