... a guy like L&P would probably be really tough to work with...
I was thinking about this recently and wanted to chime in with my whole-hearted agreement.
Nothing against L&P, but his method of working would make editing and/or proofreading for this game very frustrating.
Last year when he put up that post asking for expressions of interest for a Proofreader I emailed him to apply, and I applied seriously; gave my real name, references and relevant work history, everything - didn't get a reply since he didn't end up hiring anybody, but now I'm kind of glad I didn't hear back.
With what we know about his writing process - you'd either get the script in little paragraph sized pieces days apart, which would be frustratingly disjointed. Or you'd get nothing for 5 months then suddenly an email with the whole update script and a message saying "I can't start coding until you get this back to me, so make it fast please

Hypothetical L&P: Well, I already spent four or five hours creating the renders for that exchange, plus another hour cleaning up those renders in photoshop, so...
