I think the 'technopeasent' commentary by outgoing of SFWA is regretible, but i sometimes wonder if the issues of ebook piracy and 'free' comments are lost in junction in the advocation of free materials. As aspiring writers, we all dream of being discovered or recognized like a cory doctorow...but how mnay stories are 'lifted' from postings and redone by others? Its seems really complex to me to even get into the variations of benefits and damages without a serious look...and abstaining from fluffy warm 'webscabs' comments from a middling(at best) author with aires. Jim c Hines 'goblin' book you had in library is actually the second book in the series. Its actually a humor/adventure book (the first one) that also has alot of commentary on fantasy beneath the hood of the story. Very enjoyable read. Quick discussion topic i want to mention is this: why do fantasy novels get framed more into series and sci-fi novels more into single story novels. Its why i have a hard time suggesting fantasy written by authors recently to my friend that dont want to make a commitment to a series. hey, great interview with this author. i read only the first book but really enjoyed it.

He is one of my favorite new sci-fi writers and his books just keep getting better. I finished Android's Dream a few weeks ago and it's one of the best SF/Fantasy novels I've read in a long, long time. I am waiting eagerly for the libary to get in The Last Colony so I can read it also. Thanks for the interview. I’m eager to hear the interview with Scalzi.
