This good news should get people writing again. Do you want to act like a fat gently caress with poo poo in his dick and 4 or 5 bestsellers, or the author of the #9 highest rated erotica book on smashwords.com ??

Hey, dude, could you email us authors an update on how many sales we've done and thus what we can expect for beer money?

Yeah, I'll have to crunch the numbers and I'll let you know. Give me a day or two though since I'm pretty busy at work and outside of it right now.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

You need someone to look at the sales while you go to support GURM after firefighters found a kiddie porn dungeon in the ruins of his home?

To get into Gurm's kiddie porn dungeon, you have to give him a buttcoin and say the phrase "valahr shitdickus."

Well... I'm feeling quite a bit silly writing this, but what the hell, let's do this, shall we?

George R.R. Martin, I can't begin to thank you! My name is Igor, from Brazil. From age twelve I've taken an interest in reading, and from this came my love for writing. Ever since that time I've written many stories, discarding every one of them, one after another. I had the dream to eventually make my own book, but I never made it half-the-way. That is, until I read your books.

A Song of Ice and Fire is a GREAT series. You did a great job capturing the points-of-view from different characters. From the naive Jon Snow to the cunning Tyrion Lannister, each one of them is a character of it's own. And the plotting, the warring, the fighting... all of it captivated me.

:words:

GRRM responded. Someone write a similar long, heartfelt thank you. Vaguely allude to your "first novel" and then at the end link AGOB.

Someone asked if the E/N-themed fighting game was ever complete, and Shine said this.

Shine posted:

It was a terrible goon project, so no.

Clearly, a statement endorsing our fine work here, fellows. Only terrible goon projects fail to complete, thus ours are of quality unmatched due to their being finished!

I reckon we give him a free copy so we can get some publicity going.

We are the #9 highest rated erotica book on smashwords.

EDIT: And #32 best seller in Comedy Erotica! We edged ahead of "Butt Burgular", good job people. Beating "Cocktopus" will be a harder task though.

This morning, for reasons I will not elaborate on, I was trying to think of the French phrase 'la petit mort' and being a little hazy from last night's strong wine came up with 'la petit merde' instead. Anyone writing a Demi chapter for ACoC is welcome to use this slip of brain however they see fit.

Not sure why I felt it necessary to post this but it made me laugh a little, and my chapter was not one that necessarily involved that character. :shrug:

We should use "le petit mort" like at least 200 times in this book. This book needs to be drenched in petit morts.

Well, I've finished plotting my four chapters and written a few key scenes. I'm thinking of holding a contest with forums upgrades on the line once it's published. Who can be the first to guess what I'm referencing, or something like that.

My guess is that you are referencing A Song of Ice and Fire, a noted series of books in the fantasy tradition by helmet enthusiast George R R Martin.

If any of y'all need a Court Intrigue fix before Winds of Winter (never) comes out, I recommend Pillars of the Earth. I'm only 150 pages in but it's a pretty great read if you don't get hung up on historical fiction.

I haven't read the books, but going by that amazing and informative trailer, I'm just going to make a few assumptions here: Robb Stark is going to die at his wedding, Bran is going to turn into a tree, Stannis will remain awesome, nothing of importance will happen, and Tywin and Dany will poo poo themselves.

Am I close?
