You're still writing novels?
I find Twitter short stories much easier to finish.
But I agree. Closer to home would be better, if there is one.

Cafepress.com?
Also, can we have an "inject meme into wider public consciousness" button? Actually, wearing the shirts would do that.

This column is the best thing that's happened to me today.
Also this?
EXCELLENT COLUMN WOULD TRADE WITH AGAIN HAIL SATAN!!!!! :)
So going on a T-shirt.

Eddie,
Could have been the modern idiom. But it was super cool when the star says 'fuck' (in a different font) in Neil Gaiman's Stardust. Maybe you can get away with it now and then but not wholesale.
Yep, the Goodkind show is kind of stinky. But HBO's doing Game of Thrones (hopefully - a pilot's been commissioned), which has massive potential.

Eddie,
I have no idea how Goodkind does it. I have about five of his books at home (special deal from the UK SF book club). Got about two paragraphs in. Book. Met. Wall. Same for Robert Jordan.
I can see the latest Richard Morgan squicking people. I liked it, but not as much as his other books. Something was jarring and I don't know what since I normally prefer sword and sorcery over sci fi.

Craig,
Waldrop is the man. 'Flying Saucer Rock and Roll' is a stone cold classic. -
Although the fact that they feature teh gayz might have something to do with that...
I don't think SF fandom is scared of teh gayz. What about Delaney? Ricardo Pinto? Clive Barker? Mary Doria Russell? The latest Richard Morgan?

OK, it's a slightly off-topic promo (but only slightly) but...
If you're a fan of sci-fi, you may want to check out the Starship Sofa podcast. Plenty of discussion on the old masters of SF and a pile of new and classic fiction. Recently we've had stories by Gene Wolfe, Jeff VanderMeer, Terry Bisson, Paolo Bacigalupi, Lucius Sheppard, Michael Marshall Smith and we've got a recent Michael Moorcock coming soon.
There's even a kiwi accent on it every now and then :)

Can't think of any questions, though it might be amusing to ask what browser they prefer. Wonder if Maurice Williamson will do a better job of talking tech than John Key's spectacular self-pwnage at Tech Ed the other week.

At the moment I can't stop listening to the new Richard Swift EP, available for free here
