Now that is a good job, Mr. Scalzi. I’ve read Strange Horizons on and off, and have been quite impressed by the quality of the work they publish, both fiction and non-fiction. It was a pleasure to make a donation. (Besides, if I didn’t make that donation, I’d have spent it on eating out and to be honest, I need to diet. I’m scandalously close to being pudgy again.)

The strange thing is, I think that Whatever has been responsible for all my donations not related to certain major non-profit organizations that I support. There has got to be some kind of weird reality distorting field here.

John, next year at this time, I propose you offer the following: If your readers donate $5000, you will write a short story for Strange Horizons. I’d rather read another “Denise Jones, Super Booker” or “Pluto Tells All” than have you cough up another $500.

You know, I’m beginning to think you could cure all the world’s problems with this method…

Actually, John, thanks for posting about this. I have seen SH off and on, but kind of forgot about it… but I’ve read several of the stories on there today and… wow, nice stuff. Well worth the money sent and then some.

Oh. My. Grodd. What a spectacular development! I am so please to be part of this in a tiny way.

I see on their site that they are looking to do a site redesign. Perhaps someone with those skills will offer time instead of money to help out. Sometimes a skill offered is better than money.

Thanks again, John, for pushing us all into action.

OK, this has got to stop. My “beer budget” for the month is now even less.

Yesterday I donated to SH, today I purchased the limited edition of Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded from Subterranean Press.

Will the insanity ever end?

Let’s not get twitchy, folks.
