Toss A Coin To Your Blogger, Oh Readers of Plenty

Posted on by Sarah A. Hoyt

Oh Readers of Plenty It’s that time of year where I show how obedient and what a good listener I am, and ask people who like what they read here to kick in a few bucks, if they have it to spare.

Your contribution can knock out the rats in my head who insist that this is a waste of time!!!

I have been told, repeatedly, by several of you, that it also helps the rats in your head that do not like feeling like freeloaders.

This is not an emergency appeal, this is not a matter of life and death, (or even death and ice-cream), and I will throw my shiny new chinchilla of hope at you if I realize you’ve hurt yourself to send me a few dollars of thanks.

That said, a workman is worth his hire, and I think I feel Jerry Pournelle glaring at me from heaven since he cannot give me the lecture about how my work has worth and I need to respect that value. So, if you find value in this blog’s work, and you won’t hurt anything by doing so, toss something into the hat!

There is a Give Send Go fundraiser for this specific fundraiser set up. Here is a Paypal Me Link if you prefer that. (Yes, I know. Paypal, but for now, they’re behaving.) If you have a monthly donation setup to the permanent Give Send Go, that is still working and thank you! There are also two substacks you can subscribe to. One is on the side bar of the blog, the other is supposed to be a newsletter, as well as giving you chapters of the current work in progress if you subscribe. It takes cards.

For what is going on: I am actually doing quite a bit better since multiple people have taken it on themselves to nag me into going to the doctor before I am nearly dead.

On the down side, as a result of that I am in the position of waiting to see a specialist (mid month) for a something which responds to antibiotics but comes back when the course is finished, and has the normal doctors saying “huh. I’ve never seen that before.” I am sure I don’t have to explain to everyone here how not reassuring that situation is, but it is being handled.

  1. My songs of the clankers are here on You Tube. I am on TwiX here, and of course share links on Instapundit most nights.

  2. There are several non-book tasks I intend to get rolling this year- among them putting the clanker songs on Spotify so various Hunlings will quit asking if they are up yet, and another of which will need to be further along before I open it up. It will be site for all things geeky and also hopefully a good promo site for indies. (Can you feel the anticipation?).
  3. If I can stop throwing out “interesting” symptoms and becoming a medical curiosity, I should be able to finish Rhodes to Hell and move on to the next Dyce.  Needless to say I’m also working on Orphans of the Stars, the second book of Chronicles of Elly.

And that’s all for now, throw a handful of hundreds in the hat, (go ahead! Make my day!) and lets get back to playing!

  7. Please recheck the PayPal link, it seems to go to a generic account settings page and not to a donation page.

  8. My own GSG has funded to 69%.

    My inner 14-year-old is reacting accordingly.

    I’ll check my bank account and see what I can toss in. Worth it to keep these little oases in a barren digital landscape going!

    1. Four weeks from tomorrow before I see my (new) primary care doc. He’s the gatekeeper for my knee replacement procedure, so I’m waiting with a certain amount of impatience. (It’s a longer appointment because new doc, so harder to schedule. Sigh.)

  14. And all things considered with the full advantage of hindsight, that song, and specifically the covers of it that spawned far and wide across the intertubes, may be the only good thing to come out of the only partially slightly good season of that show. Henry Cavill was great even when all the script gave him was grunts for dialog and beefcake bath scenes, but looking back at it there were already many signs he was fighting a losing battle against the show’s matriarchy from his first minutes on set.

    By the time he’d had enough he was but an intermittent recurring guest on the ‘Ciri and Yennefer show’.

    And yet he was always the positive perfect gentleman in all the media stuff, right through to the end. A class act.
