Yarn and Worldbuilders
Jan. 12th, 2010 01:55 amFirst off - see userpic. I made that! The colors are absolutely incredible - if you happen to be around, and I haven't already shoved samples under your nose, let me know, and you can see the whole pile.
Second off, if you like Science Fiction, you like fabulous prizes, and you like ducks and goats and people, you should go look at Patrick Rothfuss's giant fundraiser of doom, called Worldbuilders. He's matching 50% of all donations made through his page at Heifer International, and *also* giving away over a thousand prizes in a donation-based lottery. The prizes are mostly Science Fiction novels, from a huge range of authors, many of whom are quite well know, including ARCs for several books not out yet and the occasional original manuscript. Patrick Rothfuss, in case you don't remember, is the author of "The Name of the Wind", which is one of books I've been shoving incessantly at people, because it's just that good. I've donated $30, and am seriously considering throwing in a bit more. The deadline for fabulous prizes is January 15, which is this Friday, so if this looks as cool to you as it does to me, go make your donation now!
