Looking for Beta-Testers
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:36 pm
Well my next tease is just about ready for publishing so I thought I'd try out Milovana's new Private Tease feature and see if I can't get some volunteers to beta-test my tease for me. Since I've never had anything beta-tested before, and since this is I think the first beta-testing of a tease on Milovana, ( I'm beta-testing the process of beta-testing, what irony lol ), I think it's probably best to spell out basically what I'm looking for in advance.
1. A group of 3-5 people or so to privately view the tease and offer feedback on it. That's probably enough to show me what if any changes still need to be made yet not so many that I feel like everyone's reading it before it gets published.
2. I'm looking for constructive critism about any spelling or grammatical errors I may have missed, anything that might be confusing storyline-wise, or any other technical problems that are found. So if you volunteer, please don't be shy about nitpicking these things.
3. Also I want feedback about your overall opinion of the tease. Was there anything about it you particularly don't care for? Which part was your favorite? What changes can you suggest?
4. People who understand that beta-testing by it's nature requires thick skins all around. I'm not supposed to take it personally when you point out errors or even if you think everything about the tease sucks, and you shouldn't take it personally if I don't go with some of your suggestions on how to make the tease more to your personal liking. Know that I appreciate the suggestions anyway, even if I don't explain my reasons behind choosing to use or not to use each suggestion.
5. People who will be discreet and not post spoilers, no matter how trivial the information may seem, before the tease is published. All beta-feedback should come through PMs only and even little things like the name of the tease or the model who stars in it should not be mentioned in the forums.
If you'd like to volunteer please PM me. I'll make another post in this thread once I've got all the beta-testers I need. Thank you.
PS - For the record, this is not the tease I intend to enter in the tease-match with Cactusman.
