Also, my editor just asked if I sent out my cyber army, because my sales rank is like, 2800 or something (which doesn't really mean anything, I've discovered).
I said that this was just the immediate cyber family.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now tagless for your comfort.
I said that this was just the immediate cyber family.
The ripples are starting to spread. I just sent out a link to one of my family's yahoo groups as well as a list of RL friends here in town.

Oh, I'm so pimping it to my flist, Allyson, although I'm sure Shrift will get more coverage.
I haven't quite pre-ordered it, since I don't get paid for another couple of weeks, but it's in the "save for later" shopping cart at Amazon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not pre-ordering, because I want to walk into an actual book store and pick up a pile of actual books. That's OK, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm totally buying it in a bookstore. At least once.

Holy ass, shrift. I wanted to ask for your help but felt bad about being all burdeny.
Ha! It's so the opposite of a burden. I like it when my friends do cool things that I can brag about!
And now that I'm thinking about it, it's not too early to put up a link on the front page of the Buffy Fiction Archive and any other relevant website I run.
Anyone who reads my LJ is going to hear about it a lot, I'm sure.

I'll buy at least one in a bookstore, so I can babble at the clerk. But not the last copy on the shelf, because I'm a guaranteed purchaser and that's still a potential new audience from that store.
That made sense in my head, ok?

Relatedly, Allyson, insent.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
sara, if you buy the last copy, they'll almost certainly restock right away, and can do so within 24-48 hours -- if you leave one, at least in a small store without tons and tons of turnover, they're much more likely to think they're doing okay on stock for now. (Note that this only applies to indies; the big box guys aren't directly in control of whether they restock things or not at the store level.)

You guys are being so amazing to me. I'm wickedly grateful.
