meme: Support the experience economy: send skzbrust $2

[netmouse]

Please join me in convincing a stubborn Hungarian who is also a fabulous author (Steven Brust) to start accepting paypal donations on his website.

1. (optional) read the explanation of the reason/philosophy behind this: http://netmouse.livejournal.com/216556.html

2. If you have a paypal account, Paypal $2 (or more) to skzb -@- dreamcafe.com (take out the spaces and the dashes to use as an email address)
Note: please use the subject line "So there..." (feel free to add your own comment).

3. post this to your journal with a comment about Brust or his work.


My Comment:

I have known Steven personally since sometime in the mid 90s. At the time I met him I had read everything he'd written to date, except for The Sun, The Moon and The Stars, which I have since discovered is fabulous. My favorite book of his is Jhereg. The first night we met we stayed up all night at a Minicon music party, making music.

I hope to go on making music with you for many years, my dear and stubborn friend. So there.

I would re-adjust the solution to be to encourage everyone to go to Amazon.com or their favorite bookstore, and buy NEW books by the author. If you already have copies, donate them to your local library.

The goal is to increase funding while maintaining dignity. PayPal probably isn't the way to go, but there probably is a solution out there.
