Author Jay Lake has been fighting colon cancer for four years, and he's running out of treatment options. Catherine Shaffer and Mary Robinette Kowal put together a fundraiser to try to pay for whole genome sequencing for Jay, which might suggest other ways of attacking the cancer. They rallied various people from the SF/F community to perform various "acts of whimsy" as rewards for meeting fundraising goals.
I volunteered to read excerpts from the very first story I ever wrote, a 50,000 word piece of Dungeons & Dragons-inspired sword & sorcery, starring Nakor the Purple, a character I totally-didn't-rip-off-from-Raymond-Feist. Not only that, but I would read this IN COSTUME as Nakor. You see, back in college, our D&D group put together Halloween costumes of our characters, and it was awesome. Because that's how we rolled back in 1995.
I won't lie to you. The story is pretty bad. I'm tempted to make a drinking game. "For every unnecessary adverb, take a drink. Every time a character raises an eyebrow, take a drink. Every time the villains sit around waiting for the heroes to do something, take a drink."
For everyone who believes the myth that professional authors were just born knowing how to write, I offer this video as proof that you could not be more wrong...
Повторяем попытку...
