Did you all notice that Mr. Card has chaged the temporary page for the web site ?
I certainly can't blame him after the heated conversation that has taken place over it this past week.

Good Luck with the Medicine Show. There is something really catchy about the name. It's campy in all the right ways, like something out of vaudeville, with a chicken soup for the soul appetizer.

I'm registered, but still can't subscribe. I am excited to read "Respite". I think it's the one that someone submitted for a boot camp submission and OSC bought it on the spot.

Grumble grumble.
The 15th is a Saturday. Not exactly a good day to be logging onto the internet for Sabbath-observant Jews. Either that, Or I suppose some people only have unfettered internet access from work.
At least we'll have something to look forward to on Saturday night!

I honestly had no idea that Internet surfing broke the Sabbath. Well, we wouldn't want to interfere with your beliefs in any way. But, Saturday night will be here quicker than you think! Or Monday, for those who have to wait till then to log on.

I'm super curious as to what people think of the story. It was pretty much the first story I wrote as an adult, and it earned me a rejection from boot camp.

What Gansura said. Although good point about the at-work-only surfers. I know we have a bunch of those.
Ann, no turning on or off anything electric, or causing it to do anything (which in essence means turning on and off individual circuits). So, no computer and no Internet.
Which actually really helps with the peace and relaxation and focusing on God aspects -- I'm just whining for the heck of it. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

That makes me feel so much better about being rejected! *grumbles "I told you so" to non-existant person and walks away*

I don't expect that I will. I do expect to have read the thing virtual cover to virtual cover before I get to work on Monday though.
Cool that you got your name kat! I had no trouble getting Noemon, but that isn't terribly surprising.

It won't all be available "cover to cover" tomorrow. It will get stuff added to it regularly, all under the first month's subscription, over the course of the month.

True. It would be more accurate to say that on Sunday I will be reading all of the material then available in the first issue.

It sounds like something Penn & Teller would call one of their shows.

I'm most excited about the audio book included, how cools is that, you can read it online, print it out, OR listen to it on your ipod or whatever... I wonder what time zone of the 25th they will release it on. Good thing it is not today or I would be getting no work done!

I'm very excited that this venue will appeal to new authors and artists who appreciate Card's focus on character and community. This is professional, so they'll get paid and get some exposure; but it feels homey/safe enough that those who love to write but don't know if they do it well, will take a chance and submit their work.
I've generally enjoyed the thoughts, as reflected by Hatrack, of those who have been effected by Card's work. I can't wait to read art from people with the same background.
