Ugh. Why'd I come back in here? Now all I can envision is this: Oh, and yes, you should be super jealous of my photoshop skills. |

Yes... Without a doubt, yes. I demand the eye-patch and turtle neck be the photo over the "About the Author". Helmet and iPhone optional.
I think he should also be looking thoughtfully at a replica of the holy grail. And there'd better be a poorly written, sixteen line haiku about rifles in there somewhere too. Last edited by Hicks_Royel; 11-17-2013 at 04:01 AM.. |

Back in the ICQ days I had a conversation with a friend of mine that consisted of nothing but haiku for about a half an hour. Coincidentally, he did 3 or 4 complaining about how stubborn Apple was for refusing to put 2 buttons under the trackpad on their laptops.
Cross Country looks pretty good for a render. I like the look of the HAVOCat but have no need for it in my collection. Irid, your spring release plans killed my plan to give your book to peeps as Christmas presents. Plus I may be broke in two years. I've been thinking about getting a Raspberry Pi for retro gaming. It's cheaper than a RetroN5 and simpler than hooking up all of my old consoles. It's just not beefy enough to handle DS games, which is a bummer because I'd REALLY like to play Fire Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow. Nintendo doesn't want to release the game here for whatever reason. I can play a translated version on my computer just fine, except for the whole hating to sit at my computer to play games part. |

Cross Country is looking cool. I hope he doesn't suffer like Iceberg did.

Well, fuck.
Based on lawyerly advice, if I can get significant parts of the contract I've been offered rewritten, I have to back out.

Ah, so it's that kinda publishing deal...
Boo... Well, still better than the girls that come to America thinking they'll become famous only to wind up in the sex trading market. |

No, hicks I don't think it is "that kind of deal." I don't think it is malicious; I think this publisher typically works in the literary fiction world where rights and money don't matter as much, because no money is being made. But he has a track record of publishing, I'd just be his first foray into SF/f.
