So you wish to testify.
“Easy is a word used to describe other people's jobs” The notary's own notes, trial records
The court seeks beta readers for The Worst Party in the Realm: a comic fantasy, complete at ~110,000 words across 22 chapters. Shortest pitch: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in a secondary-world fantasy. The party are terrible people. They mostly don't grow, and the comedy depends on it. Some jokes are offensive by design; what I need to know from you is which ones are funny and which ones are merely offensive.
Plain terms, before anything else: this is an unpaid beta read.I already work with professional editors for the craft side. What I need from beta readers is honest reader reaction from people who actually enjoy this kind of comedy. If you run a paid service, no hard feelings, but this isn't that gig. The deal: you read 110,000 words in 5 weeks and answer short checkpoint questions every ~5 chapters, the manuscript comes in chunks, and your payment is your name in the acknowledgments.
To receive the author's address, answer all five questions correctly. The notary regrets that wrong answers carry the usual penalty.
