Free SF/F/H Fiction for 6/13/2012
Saladin Ahmed is looking for some financial assistance to help him continue his writing career. He’s offering a free short story and hoping for donations. I, of course, have been referring to this entire concept as the “Chicon John Scalzi vs. Saladin Ahmed Judo Chop Grudge Match”. Be sure to send along whatever support you can give.
