On-lin Sci Fi Bonanza

Damn you Wheaton! I'd just finished my post for today and realized you wrote almost exactly the same one yesterday. DAMMMMNNN YOOOOOOUU!

I cede primacy, and simply reprint:

"Today is a hell of a day to be a science fiction fan. There's a new issue of the Subterranean out, including stories from Mike Resnick, Charles Stross, and Gene Wolf. If that wasn't enough to make you proclaim today Official Do Nothing Else But Read Subterranean Day, there's even Elizabeth Bear audio, an interview with her, and original fiction. Seriously ...

...

Warren Ellis says that the first chapter from Crooked Little Vein is available as a pdf.

John Scalzi is offering a free .rtf of his awesome novel The Android's Dream to all active military personnel serving overseas.

With permission from Tor, I am making an electronic version of The Android's Dream available to US servicefolks serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and other points overseas. This e-book version is an .rtf version of the text (about 900kb) I turned into Tor (i.e., a few copyedit flubs here and there) which is easily modifiable for whatever thing folks in the field have to look at text through. This e-book version is free to them, and given with thanks for their service.

I think it's insanely cool that he's doing this, and hope to follow in his footsteps with some of my own work one day."

Between Wheaton kicking my behind on the sci fi stuff and Bill Cunningham covering 4GM, I may need to shift to reviewing RPG rules and even more obscure political rants if I'm going to keep any justification for this blog.

Oh, and Warren's first chapter is a delight. It's very ... Warren-y. Take that as you will.
