tanithryudoBaen Free Library. Free novels by well known authors. No strings attached. Wonderful, wonderful, place. ^_^
Oh and also, on the Baen site, I found some funny short stories by Mercedes Lackey. I think they're samples from one of her short story collections. If anyone wants to read some light and short satire...
Aliens Ate My Pickup - An exercise in stereotype-breaking in more than one area. Sci-fi? Or just a hoax?
Small Print - TV evangelists making deals with the Devil. Makes so much sense. ^_- Less fantasy than maybe horror or supernatural.
Last Rights - Animal rights activists who don't do their homework on the critters they're planning to "liberate".
One last link: How I Spent My Summer Vacation. Not a story, but basically Mercedes Lackey writing about her life as a writer, with some advice on writing in general. Excerpt:
Actually, I have been considering borrowing the disclaimer from the game Stalking the Night Fantastic by Richard Tucholka—"If anything in this book offends you, please feel free to buy and burn as many copies as you like. Volume discounts are available."
Edit: I think they made a slight error transcribing those stories and got the author's notes switched around. The notes for How I Spent... goes with Aliens Ate My Pickup, the notes for Aliens Ate My Pickup definitely goes with Small Print, the notes for Small Print definitely goes with Last Rights, and I think the notes for Last Rights goes with the next story in the book which isn't transcribed. Oh well.
