Check out some free sci-fi!

As some of you may know, haikujaguar , an author and artist adored by many in LJ land, especially given how much of her work she has freely shared with us (including stories, anecdotes, card readings and advice on writing and producing art), has run into quite a big spot of trouble requiring extensive house repairs. To help out with some of those expenses (and fill my Crackberry with enjoyable reading), I've just purchased quite a number of her e-book publications from Smashbooks. On her Smashbooks site, she has a number of free short stories to download, so you can get a taste of her writing before deciding to purchase any of the other very reasonably priced works. If you like good sci-fi, furry fiction, stories dealing with alien cultures, and/or explorations of gender roles and issues, I'd highly recommend taking a look. My favourite, thus far, is Alysha's Downfall, which contains some very edgy writing.

That does seem like a good idea, though shipping would be a royal pain for anything but the smallest, lightest objects. I really liked how Magik did that, but that seemed better for distributing stuff she already had.

It might be better just to choose a few people who might appreciation something like, say, the ZOMGSnail magnet (http://www.zazzle.com/mcahogarth/gifts?pg=2#products) and send it to 'em directly via the site, instead of having them shipped from the US to Malaysia and then ship it to where you want them to go.

It's really cool that you want to do something like this! :D

Well, I noticed she has a donate button on her page so perhaps I could just donate the money to her. That might be the fastest option right now.

You could do that, but be sure to indulge in some of the work freely given. :)
