Match it for Pratchett
Give a quid.

This is a seriously good cause and one very close to my heart.

Edited to remove a badge, and to add: there are times when it's important to protect your intellectual property, and there are times when it makes you look like an ungrateful misery.

Amen to that
GRRM has finished another chapter (and his LiveJournal has a rather cute new skin). And it's a Bran chapter.

Bran's always been one of my favourites. Since he named his wolf Summer in contradiction of his family's pessimistic motto, and then fell off the wall, he's always been a random character in my eyes - 'random' like Stephen King uses the word in Insomnia, or like Darien in The Darkest Road - one whose path isn't set for him. Which I suppose must be something like the truth if GRRM took six years to complete this particular chapter.

As he says, lets hope it doesn't take another six years to write the next part of Bran's story. The wait for this book is killing me.

Picking your audience
Seth asks a question. Do you pick, or does it just happen? Was The Da Vinci Code written for people who don't buy books, or did it accidentally go viral? I'm not sure it's something you can plan for, and even if you try to, can you really sit down to write for the lowest common denomenator?
