Chris asked about sharing some unfinalized scripts with the group in response to a general call by me for more materials to replace or supplement what we have already in the TPRS world.
In that regard, I feel that there is now going to be a great surge of quality materials out there for some reason. It’s just a feeling, maybe related to the fact that the old materials have served well, in some cases for over a decade, but I just see people getting ready to create new stuff.
In that interest, I am suggesting that we create here a kind of publishing Craig’s list devoted to new TPRS/CI materials. When Robert published the first chapter of Nordseepirats here and people saw how it pretty much rocks the house, Martin and Brigitte and I think Johnna went into instant collaboration with Robert, doing editing and translating and such.
I see no reason why Nordseepirats, a level 2 German reader, shouldn’t become available to us in French (Martin) and other languages. If it’s good, we want it. We should work that way, networking off the blog on our own version of Craig’s list, but with me posting new stuff to call attention to its existence.
So I’m making a category for that and then when people have something that they want to buy or sell in terms of authorship, editing, translating, even publishing they just send it to me via email. I will tag it as something for Ben’s list, and people can network within the group as they wish.
It is very important to note that we are dealing in that instance with remuneration of people’s time and talent, which must always be negotiated. There is no reason that some of the stuff we produce here in collaboration with each other couldn’t become important to others beyond our small group.
