Kevin's Watch

You already HAVE! Just by showing up you are now part of the "steering committee". The smartest thing to do, and sometimes the rarest, in a Group Read is to have numerous folk overseeing it. Yes one or two guys can try to run it and cheerlead like hellfire, but you can get seriously whiped out by your personal chapter(s) (especially when it's emergency subbing) I got so whiped out by reads in general that dAN and Duchess had to literally carry me across the Mordant finish line. I feel bad by not having posted here (or there) much in the meantime as mod-it takes a very long time to recover. Group Reads really are a whole different animal compared to all our other forums.

If announced in one big fell swoop I think a Runes dissection may prove to be the most fluid and easiest to manage that I've ever seen. The interest is going to be there--as we've already said this is almost perfect timing. We just have to have a committed steering body not only to guide and push but to select, as well, if nessesary. The rest could easily fall into place all by itself. I have regained my energy and have some free time over the Summer.

Is it too early to volunteer for a Runes chapter? I don't think I'd be of much use to the steering committee, but I'd be happy to drop my input on occassion.

Steering committee? I thought danlo was the steering committee.

OK! Jay's just given the go ahead! Hopefully he will send out a boardwide email and announce the read on kevinswatch.com (the cover page). I'll be back this afternoon to post the read sign-up and make board announcements!!

And get this-we're going to have our FIRST EVER chapter dissected by the man himself!!! Go Jay, Go Jay!

So where is the list to sign up????

So Jay is actually doing a chapter? Cool!

ALRIGHT!!!

good!

Jay got SgtNull to dissect a chapter?!?!

Question - is Fist really going to do Chapter 1? The thread that he posted is more a prank than anything else.

Really? Well now I'll get that wise guy back--OK he has to do it, and do it right away!

That was entirely a joke. I posted that months before the book came out, just when that excerpt was up on SRD's site.

No, sorry, I don't have a Dissection in me at the moment. Gonna have to pass on this book.

Oh, what a party pooper...

Oh please. What do you know about being busy, having health issues, and needing t...


Oh. Wait a sec.

Well, I got "Find Me" (the last one of course..hehe). And it will be a whole year from now before it's my turn.

Soooooooooo pick a later chapter

Man! I forgot to welcome dlbpharmd as the new mod here. I specifically asked him, and conferred with Jay, to come over here the second we all decided to start the Runes read. The transition was so smooth I didn't realize he was already here. dlbpharmd has done an excellent job in the Runes discussion forum an will inject not only a passion for the Final Chronicles but fresh and levelheaded contributions to the Reads. In any case Welcome!-Let Runes begin!

Thanks! I'll do my very best!

I noticed that ur-bane had indicated earlier that he wanted to do a chapter, and I've asked him if he's still interested. I haven't seen him around much lately, but hopefully he'll pop in to read his PM.

I see an empire building ...

'grats, dlb.

P.S. How about working with the tank mods - sign up for a chapter, or no tank privs for a month!!!

So, when do we get our next discussion?

Drew's chapter is due Nov 16th.

And since ur-bane is back, I'll ask again if he'd like to dissect a chapter.
