Weird Word Wranglers, Attention!
Thursday, May 31st, 2012 01:37 pmAll righty, then. We hear from Mr. Feldberg (yay! Mr. Feldberg!) at Audible that, in order to get all -- that's ALL of the Liaden titles out in audiobook format by the time the hardcover of Dragon Ship hits the shelves in September, the books are going to be read by four different narrators, within "sequence" (Those being, according to the authors: The Agent of Change Sequence; The Theo Waitley Sequence; The Before Books; The Space Regencies). That means that the following books, which have not yet been wrangled, need to be -- now.
Books outstanding are:
Where we're going from here:
A. If you volunteered to wrangle any of the four titles above and have a list in order, now is the hour! Please email the list to me at rolanniATgmailDOTcom.
B. If you volunteered to wrangle one of the four titles above, and Life has Happened, please drop me a note to let me know that you're OK, and we'll get the work reassigned.
C. If you volunteered to wrangle one of the four titles above, and do neither A nor B, above, by end of business, tomorrow, Friday, June 1, I will reassign the book to another wrangler. I still love you; no blame, but...necessity.
D. If you can take one of the above titles and wrangle it like a whirlwind, please drop me a note at the gmail address in A and let me know which title you would like to take on.
Thanks, everyone!

Sunday, April 15th, 2012 11:32 amI've got emails, and the LJ discussion, and two other folks from other venues who want to Wrangle, so -- allow me to sum up. If I've got any of this wrong, let me know.
1. johnhawkinson and ebartley have sorted out the Automagician work between them. Beth is point person.
2. Books currently being Wrangled:
*Agent of Change, Jessie_C
*Scout's Progress, sb_moof
*Crystal Soldier, redpimpernel
*Crystal Dragon, capricchio
3. Volunteers from other venues: Deborah Fishburn, Michele Ray. Beth take note -- I'll give them your email address? If you'd prefer another form of contact, let me know.
4. Wranglers requesting assignment: silverdragonma, marniferous, Deborah Fishburn, Michele Ray
4a. Assignments: silverdragonma -- Conflict of Honors; marniferous -- Fledgling. Pls get in touch with Beth (ebartley) for lists.
Deborah Fishburn -- Carpe Diem; Michele Ray -- Saltation. I'll let Deborah and Michele know this in my email pointing them to Beth; if there's another preference, we'll regroup from there.
5. Unclaimed titles: Local Custom, Plan B, I Dare, Balance of Trade, Mouse and Dragon, Ghost Ship (Dragon Ship).
5a. Yes, Local Custom has already been produced as an audiobook, and it is not, to the best of my knowledge, on the list of acquired titles, however! Steve and I will need the list for the Audio Lexicon Part of this exercise.
5b. Dragon Ship is obviously not out yet, but we hear that the eArc will be available realsoonnow, and that will be clean enough to work from.
6. Short stories: Someone, somewhere, asked if I want a list for each short story. It's possible, perhaps likely, that a list will be needed for the collections (two volumes, including all the stories in the AitLU chapbooks 1-17, plus Sweet Waters) that Baen will be publishing ... maybe in 2013? I'll be collating the stories into volumes next week, so -- short stories not a front-burner item.
7. What did I miss?
