really hope she means it's got something supernatural about it, because otherwise, eek.

Hmm is this legit? [link] Basically, they buy ISBNs in bulk for a buck each, and will assign one to you for $5 bucks. That does mean they are listed as the publisher with Bowker, but gives them no copyright in the book.
But is there another catch to this? I certainly don't begrudge them the $4 profit, because they are taking the risk of buying ISBNs a thousand or more at a time to get that low a rate. For a self-published low volume book I'm OK with a them being the official publisher on Bowker - again unless I'm overlooking something.

Thanks, Jesse. I like him. He's so sensible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 just featured this [link] which is a tumblr that offers up ideas for use in science fiction (maybe fantasy too...I haven't read all the way through) stories, they just want a heads up if you use them.
They look oddly specific, and also a bit ESL. I'm not entirely sure why someone would do this. I mean, it's not like a random generator. Someone's sitting down and thinking these up.

I'm trying to get my revisions done by the end of April. I'm not sure if I can make it or not, but it's my own artificial deadline. All the troll poems are gone now. Kinda sad, but it makes sense.
