All, I have been shamefully neglectful in asking for donation to the Clarion West write-a-thon. Please, go to the website and donate a little something. It supports the creation of a wonderful diversity of amazing future authors. And I’m offering a prize. And now, a snippet from a Finn Fancy-related short story I’ve been writing during

It’s that time again! You want great fantasy and science fiction? Help support the development of future writers. Knock knock. Hello. My name is Randy Henderson. I’m asking for donations to Clarion West, a totally awesome intensive writing workshop for speculative fiction that has been called a “boot camp for writers.” BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE.

But folks like Mary Robinette Kowal and Cory Doctorow

I have horribly failed to pimp myself for the Clarion West write-a-thon, and it ends this week. Time to donate in my glorious name if you haven’t already, por favor. Your donation will go to help nurture and create future writers. I have been doing my part, I swear, writing like crazy. Literally, writing like

I have caught 37 fairies in a jar. Unless you sponsor me in the Clarion West writeathon, I will place the jar in front of a television playing nothing but Jersey Housewives. Or, if you are not a fan of fairies, then IF you sponsor me I will force the fairies to read the Myspace

Starting in late June, I will be channeling reality-altering energies in an attempt to discombobulate speculativentropic forces. There may be casualties, scandals, men weeping, women dancing, and spontaneous generation of new life that realizes its true purpose just before being turned into a new flavor of pudding. Won’t you sponsor the chaos? All proceeds go
