I’m sorry, this was simply too funny not to share. For once, I don’t mean to come across as arrogant; it is an accomplishment to have several hundred readers a day. That being said, it is abundantly clear that these rabbits not only have ZERO concept of the relative readerships involved, and they can’t even bother to take five seconds to figure out the score before hopping to strategerize:
My website averages well over 600 visits a day. Based on comments from
other fanzine people, I’m guessing that’s more readers than VD’s blog
would get even when he provokes a shit storm. Let’s deprive him of the
traffic.
Her guess is just a little off, as last Friday’s traffic was 46,456 Google pageviews. Lest you think it was the result of the Hugo Awards, that reflects a massive 12 percent increase from the 41,433 pageviews the Friday before my nomination got their knickers in a profound twist. In fact, one of the ways one can observe how small their little warrens are without them making the numbers public is the way one only sees a fairly small uptick in the blog stats whenever they are performing their usual point-and-shriek routine.
And, of course, my readership is but a brigade in comparison with the International Lord of Hate’s multitude of divisions.
THE CARL BRANDON AWARDS
But speaking of awards, TC declares “you are BY FAR my favorite PoC author” and reminds us that it is nomination time for the Carl Brandon Awards. The Carl
Brandon Parallax Award is for an outstanding work of speculative fiction
by a self-identified writer of color. The Carl Brandon Kindred Award is
for an outstanding speculative fiction work dealing with race and
ethnicity. You may nominate the same work for both awards.
My eligible works:
The Hugo-nominated “Opera Vita Aeterna”, from The Last Witchking, published by Marcher Lord Hinterlands, is eligible for both the Parallax Award and the Kindred Award as a short story.
The
Wardog’s Coin, published by Marcher Lord Hinterlands, is eligible for
the Parallax Award as a short story collection (one author).
QUANTUM MORTIS A Man Disrupted published by Marcher Lord Hinterlands, is eligible for the Parallax Award as a novel.
QUANTUM MORTIS Gravity Kills published by Marcher Lord Hinterlands, is eligible for the Parallax Award as a novel.
Other eligible works:
I would also remind you that the Hugo-nominated WARBOUND, by Larry Correia, published by Baen Books, is eligible for the Parallax Award as a novel.
Nominations can be made here. They cost nothing and can be made by anyone, but they must be made by April 30th.
