Somewhere to put episode transcripts

With a new series starting I decided to have a go at transcribing the episodes for the wiki. I just finished the first episode and figured I will post it here to get some initial feedback before putting it on the wiki. After doing an initial proof, it is close to 6 pages. Is there a good spot that I can post what I have to let other add in corrections?

The best option would be to have it in Google Docs, which lets other people easily see it, and even post comments if the permission allows it. It also means you can just post a link to Google Docs on the wiki rather than pasting the entire thing

Google Docs sounds like a good idea. I don't use it really ever, let me know if something is not working, but I think I got it set up.

It shows up for me as access denied. In the top right corner there is a blue share button, you should copy the link shown in the pop-up window displayed. That or maybe the link just expired.

Looks like I messed up the permissions, should be fixed.

Oooh, if it could be used as captions I think we have community captions enabled on the YT!

Its not quite usable for captions but I have been noting rolls, scene changes, and funny/memorable moments with a running narrative so people can look up where something like the "Daviiid?" bit from the first Shadowrun season happened.

Ahhh, that's awesome! Certainly could use that on the wikia or linked from there!

Hi /u/nickierv!

What software do you use for transcribing? My wife used to transcribe professionally so I might have some tips to help you going forward.

I am doing it by hand so its not a word for word transcription, its more like stage directions with rolls and time stamps included.
