Spots

[ysabetwordsmith]

I'm delighted to announce that Spots the Space Marine by haikujaguar is once again available on Amazon.  Special thanks to Tod Wills for mentioning that.  If you've been following the ruckus over the use of the term "space marine," and you don't have a copy of this book yet, seriously consider buying it.

Games Workshop statement on Facebook here if you're interested.

It doesn't quite add up to me, but I'm no copyright lawyer.

I've been following the ruckus, because I do own a copy of the book, and I know haikujaguar (even if not well) face to face. Friday, during a break a Hospital I perused my BBC News app on Smartphone and am both impressed and gobsmacked that the BBC reported on the issue.

That's how big it is become.

I've known her online since, hmm, late 1990s, and we've been to a con together. I actually just reprised our panel notes for a Deviant Art piece on "Appreciating Speculative Art" at: http://ysabetwordsmith.deviantart.com/gallery/41675416

Wow, that is impressive. I'm glad people are paying attention. This is important. Because if we let corporations steal parts of the language, we'll be left saying things in stupid awkward ways and that's just bullshit.

Also, I love your icon.
