\chapter{Thanks}

When BenBiddick showed up, with enough of a sense of humor to not only
|
|
laugh along with us, but also endorse our fan-fiction to the point of
|
|
judging winners, it was feel-good thread of the year for me. Combined
|
|
with Melodywise introducing me to beekeeping, and the revelation of
|
|
something called a ``neti pot'', I felt like I'd gotten way more than my
|
|
ten bucks out of my Something Awful Forums account. I coughed up
|
|
another ten for a platinum upgrade (which allows a user to send and
|
|
recieve private messages), and began working on putting together an
|
|
actual book.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to all the goons who wrote the stories in the first place, and
|
|
then went through the hassle of going to a new thread to accept the
|
|
license terms.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to AYBraham for giving the idea momentum in the form of a
|
|
contest.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to BirdZerk!\ for helping me with some of the initial conversion
|
|
from the forum to LaTeX.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Hamelin for suggesting I list the authors who still needed to
|
|
assign permission, and for telling me about Mediafire, so I could host
|
|
draft copies without letting a thousand goons know who I really am.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to benitocereno for reminding me about the "any similarities"
|
|
disclaimer, which probably has no legal weight whatsoever, but looks
|
|
cool.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Ridgley\_Fan for submitting {\em three} git patches, one of
|
|
which contained the cool idea of putting a Beretta image on the winning
|
|
stories somewhere.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Discount\_Bees, for doing so freaking much artwork (8 pieces!)
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Part of Everything, for doing a lot of artwork too (6 pieces),
|
|
and PMing me so much that I was unable to forget that real people were
|
|
involved with this effort.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to rinski for the foreword, just when I was feeling burned out.
|
|
|
|
Last but most, thanks to Ben Biddick for inspiring 117 crappy authors
|
|
and one crappy bookmaker to come together for a great thing. Terrible,
|
|
yes; but great.
