LaneRobins.Com is up, and she and I need a favor
If you would, please head over to www.lanerobins.com, register for the site and post an introduction in the forums? No obligation or anything--Just register and post an introduction. Well, and look at the pretty site I made for her. (I still have some refinements to do, of course.)
Here's why I ask this--There is a catch with new forums. Nobody wants to post to a forum that doesn't seem active, yet the forum won't be active unless people post to it. What I'm asking is a pretty typical practice amongst experienced forum admins; sort of like opening a new store and asking your friends to come hang out there for a while because nobody wants to go to a store that nobody wants to go to.
If you don't know Lane, she is part of my writing group, and the author of the fantasy novels Maledicte and its sequel Kings and Assassins. Sins and Shadows, the first book of her urban fantasy series (written under the psuedonym Lyn Robins because aparrently some publishers don't think that fantasy fans who like a new author will be more likely to pick up her urban fantasy books.).
Speaking of author friends, if you haven't read Kij Johnson's short story, 26 Monkeys, Also, the Abyss, you're missing out. I'm not the only one who thinks it rocks; The story is a semi-finalist for both the Hugo and Nebula awards, and made Locus's 2008 Recommended Reading List.
And Chris, I still wanna see Empire Ship on shelves, damn it.
