... has been designated International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day to recognize those people, in the estimation of one Howard Hendrix, current Vice-President of the Science Fiction Writers Association, who are ruining the ride for the rest of them by having the temerity, the gall and the techno-savvy to post stories for free on teh Internets. Either to have fun or, heaven forbid, promote their own careers. See postings by John Scalzi and Jo Walton for further info.
To This End...
... I, Dr. Philip Edward Kaldon, aka![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dr_phil_physics, provide you with two pieces of Science Fiction. (1) A link to my latest installment of a series of very short stories on the Ficlets website. (2) A new story, culled from the dark corners of my memory, from a novel that I had been typing in the wee hours of the night somewhere around 1984 or 1985 and is probably buried somewhere in a box in the basement. A first draft, but hey, it was written especially for this very celebration, and that has to count for something. (grin)
( The Head of the Line (1700 words) )
Dressed For The Occasion
No sooner had the original rant had appeared, Café Press began to have T-shirts and stuff with logos for Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch. So I ordered a tote bag and it came on Saturday, so I guess I am officially a Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch.
