Write-a-thon entertainment

kate_schaeferMichael Swanwick and Eileen Gunn are writing at least two collaborative stories as part of the Clarion West Write-a-thon and posting their work on the Write-a-thon forum regularly.
I just looked at the page. As of a few hours ago, they're collaborating on at least three stories. It's hard to count, because some of their badinage might be another story. They are either showing their collaborative process in public without a net, or they're showing an elaborate fiction about their collaborative process in public. In either case, it's hugely entertaining.
It is also a fundraiser, but you all know that. Why is it a fundraiser? It's a fundraiser because it costs more money to put on the Clarion West Writers Workshop than we want to charge the students who attend it, that's why. To support the massively prolific Michael Swanwick, who writes so much and so well that he ends up competing with himself for Hugo awards, go here and use the PayPal button, please. To support the exquisitely refined Eileen Gunn, who writes so little and yet so well that she can whack you over the head with her Nebula any time you need whacking, go here and use that PayPal button, please.
And if you just want to go read that set of stories in progress without making a donation, that's fine, too. You may need to employ Guilt Eaters of Philadelphia (scroll down that page; you'll know when you've found it) to take care of that uneasy feeling, but it will be well worth it.

One immediately thinks, Hilary Swank, Michael Swankier, which suggests that good writing is more glamorous than good acting. We all know that's not true. Michael's writing has plenty of glamour about it, but he's always busily and brutally dispelling that glamour, until there are no nastier elves anywhere than the ones on his pages.
Gunk products are recognized worldwide. They have a strong reputation for reliability and providing effective cleaning performance. I confuse Gunk with Goop all the time, but I think you want to avoid licking your fingers right after using either of them.
