My short story Aerophilia released under creative commons for International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day
Today is International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, in response to SFWA VP’s screed about the hordes of Pixel-Stained Technopeasants authors all over the internet are posting free work online.
While some people might be scared that this is another black eye for SFWA, notice, it’s a ton of fellow SFWA members who got this rolling and are putting up work as well. It goes to show you it’s quite a diverse group of writers, with a sense of humor as well.
So here is my contribution, a short story called Aerophilia (as an RTF) that originally appeared in the anthology All Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories.
Aerophilia is released under this creative commons license. You are free to share it (copy it, distribute it, and transmit it), but under the following conditions: it must be attributed to me, it can’t be used for commercial purposes, and you cannot alter/transform/build upon the work.
Interested in other free work by me? Here’s the list from the ’shop’ area of the site reposted here:
