The International Lord of Hate has announced a coming Book Bomb. Be prepared:
Mark your calenders, our next Book Bomb will be this Wednesday.
My goal is to get the stuff on our Sad Puppies suggestion list out there in front of as many people as possible. If you’re unfamiliar with my Book Bombs, that’s where we get as many people as possible to buy a book on Amazon in the same day. Since their bestseller lists update hourly, through the day the book will move higher and higher. Success breeds success, and the higher it gets, more new people see it and check it out.
The purpose, I believe, is to demonstrate Puppy Power. Keep in mind this means buying from Amazon, not Castalia. Spears will be shaken! Shields will be shattered! And links will be provided!
If you’ve already bought the books, then why not post reviews? They most certainly help too. In the meantime, Patrick Richardson admits that, in being a Sad Puppies supporter, he reveals that he is not a Real Fan:
I read the Hobbit for the first time in Kindergarten.
So I’m not a Real Fan.
I chased the Delikon off Earth in fourth grade and followed Alice down the rabbit hole.
But I’m not a real fan.
I devoured the Chronicles of Prydain and watched the Dark rise in 5th grade.
So I’m not a Real Fan.
By sixth grade I was on my fifth run through of the Lord of the Rings.
So I’m not a Real Fan.
I discovered Col. Falkenberg and met the Moties in 7th grade.
So I’m not a Real Fan.
In the last 40 years I have read hundreds of SFF books, watched hundreds of movies, dreamed of flying on Serenity and riding Sue with Harry Dresden.
So I’m not a Real Fan.
Because it doesn’t matter how much science fiction and fantasy you read, it doesn’t matter how many cons you have attended, if you aren’t a SJW, you’re not a Real Fan.
