Looking good!
As you might expect from me, though, I have nit-picks about terminology. (A "pedant" is one who can both spell and pronounce the word "pedantry". ...if I ever record the word now, then
people will know!
)
1. Under "Find Your Narrator...", I'd take out the bit about not being able to do all the jobs - you don't need someone to PL your own parts before you edit them into the chapter/act, for example. Really, the only "no-no" is that you can't be the one to both edit and PL the same, final file.
Maybe something more like this?
If you are doing the editing yourself, then you will need someone to proof-listen the edited chapters/acts for you. If you're already PLing parts, then you can recruit a DPL to do just this "final PL". In that case, you can recruit them later on in the project, when roles have been submitted and you are ready to start editing.
2. As-written, some folks might read that there's some contrast between a "DPL", and a "Parts-PL" - as though the two are alternatives or opposites.
True picture: The alternative to PLing individual, reader-submitted parts is PLing
final, edited-together files: those are two different stages of the PLing work. The BC might delegate either or both, and the person they delegate to, in any case, is called the DPL. If, for some reason or other, you delegate these separately to two different volunteers, then what you have is
two DPLs, with a clear but very lop-sided distribution of work.
Misunderstanding: If people instead see "DPL" and "Parts-PL" as being different
roles, then they might think that the "Parts-PLer" does all the work, while the "DPL" is asked to sign onto the project before it starts... only to sit on their hands until the editing begins. This impression, once received, can be very hard to correct.
We don't need dedicated hand-sitters (
). Your MC doesn't care if you are PLing parts, or if you've recruited a helper - who we will call "DPL" - to help with this stage of PLing. Your MC only cares that
you are both clear on who will be doing it. PLing the final files is something you can worry about later in the project.
There are a few places that pair these two terms, but how's this as an update for the beginning of "Dedicated Proof Listener"?
You will need to make sure that readers get feedback on their submissions in a reasonably timely fashion. If you will not be PLing the readers' parts yourself, then you will need to recruit a Dedicated Proof Listener in advance. Make sure they understand that you expect them to PL each individual file from the readers, and they will need to follow along with your script to make sure the lines are all there. (You can find more detailed information at [insert wiki link: intro to PLing a dramatic work].)
If you are proof-listening parts, but cannot PL the finalized acts/chapters (e.g., because you're also the editor), then you don't need a DPL until later on in the project. When you ask for a volunteer, be sure to specify that you only need help with the final files.
, I think the bit about setting up the MW is not easy to describe - maybe an embedded illustration or more could help ?
