I'm abruptly getting a huge spike in readership and "favorite story" of the two Dresden fanfics I wrote and posted on fanfic.net Not that I'm complaining! Not at all. I'm just wondering why after all these months, there's a bunch of new readers all of a sudden. :D

This is from my Con-Addled brain, so bear with me...
Jim did talk about FanFic in one of his Q&A's. He said something like he used to treat fan fiction as "What FanFiction? If I acknowledge it then I have to exercise my Copy Right and stomp all over the people who are most rabid about my writing." Now with "Creative Commons" he can acknowledge that we have the right to write FanFic as long as we avoid monetary reimbursement.
Thanks

I enjoyed MarsCon a lot. It wasn't as big as Baltimore ComicCon, which they say is pretty small for a ComicCon, but the only other Con I've been too. MarsCon felt... tight knit? Or was that the large influx of Dresdenphiles?
It wasn't too long after I got to talk with you Sunday that I got the call. My wife and daughter wanted to meet up for lunch. Jim left, I'd met up with a bunch of people from the forum, I figured I'd head out. It was a weekend well spent.

Amen to that.
