I usually ask my friends to do this before I submit my SMs for editing, but I thought, hey maybe there are those out here who might be interested as well, hence this post.

I am looking for 3 SM testers for the current story I'm working on. If you fit any one or more of the criteria below, and is available to go to New Delhi in the upcoming week or two, please PM me and I'll see it if something can be arranged when my 3rd SM is ready for testing.

Tester criteria:
- is highly logical / sensible in thinking
- anal about grammar and spelling
- have exposure to Hindi / Indian culture
- can give good constructive criticism

Thank you all in advance!!

JZ, you know my expertise. But about that exposure to Hindi/ Indian Culture, I'm not that well qualified. But I'm logical (most times xD), I'm a really bummer when it comes to grammar and spelling to others (see last mystery from you, I've detected some errors even still xD). And I can give some criticism xD. Good constructive if you want 2.

But my point of Hindi / Indian culture... Well, just consider me ^^

Thank you for all your enthusiastic participation. At the moment most of the seats are filled, and I am looking just for people who have exposure to Hindi / Indian culture. Don't worry if you haven't played SMs much or is not grammatically strong. New faces are welcomed and feel free to PM me.

For those who are not this SM's testers, don't worry. One of the reasons why i'm limiting the number of testers is because... for this SM i WILL have some prize-winning contests and if everyone's a tester, who's gonna win eh? It may take a while before the official SM comes out, but hey, keep an eye on the message boards and who knows, you may become a winner ; )

(Now for those who ARE testers, my apologies for not telling you this earlier... drink's on me?... )

(well, I bloody well deserve a drink after this little fiasco xD. I'll have a whiskey.)

If you need a backup at all JZ, I do have some reasonable knowledge of Hindu culture, as it was covered extensively in my AP World class, which led to me studying it on my own.

Only if you need another opinion.

Glad to see you're working on another, I always enjoy your SMs.

Cheers! *saunters away with a flute of champagne*

*One round of whiskey for everyone in the room, regardless of SM tester or future contestants, or passerby :) *
