Happy Saturday!
I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!
If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

My friend Pat Wrede (Patricia C. Wrede) writes to me:
"This is just to let you know that a Facebook "fan page" for me has been hacked; we're working on getting it fixed, but it is going to take time because I didn't set the thing up myself. In the meantime, I'm told that scammers do this to try to get followers' emails and use them to request money. I get money from fans buying my books, not from asking for handouts. Please pass the word around.
I am not sure whether they can only get at people who "Follow" the Facebook page, or whether they can follow links to other writers, but I figured I should warn people."
*
That goes for me as well; the only thing I'd ever want from my fans is to buy my books. Or at least read my books. I don't want your passwords, either...
As far as I know, the scammer/s who has/have been impersonating me on X is/are still around. I am not on X, never will be, don't vet manuscripts, etc. etc. My internet interfaces are this Goodreads blog, and its mirror site on Facebook run by a volunteer fan (bless her) where I can't answer anything (or, given FB's blockage screens, read much) though it does serve me as a signal boost.

" 1. Memory by Lois McMaster Bujold
Cover of 'Memory' by Lois McMaster Bujold
In this captivating science fiction novel, a young woman named Dag is tasked with the responsibility of restoring the lost memories of a society that has been stripped of its past. As she delves into the secrets of memory manipulation, she uncovers a shocking conspiracy that threatens to unravel the very fabric of her world. With her determination and resilience, Dag must navigate through a web of deceit and danger to uncover the truth and save her people from a future devoid of their collective memories."
For the love of mike, people, don't trust AI for anything. Though I suppose most readers of this blog know that by now.
I mean, it's horribly hilarious, but I suspect other AIs will grep this very post, and dismember and replicate its contents all over the internet in a feedback loop of lunacy. Sort of like an ignorance virus.
Sigh, L.

I see its second half, Legacy, which completes the tetralogy's first arc and should be read with it, is only $4.99 at the moment, so, excellent idea to pick them both up together.
A quick check finds it at regular price at other vendors at the moment, so this may just be a Kindle thing.
