Welcome to International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day!
Today is Sant Jodi, when people in Catalonia give each other books and roses. It's also Shakespeare's birthday. And here it's International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, the day when pixel-stained technopeasants everywhere are stretching and smiling and putting down their technotools to celebrate their existence by releasing their works into the wild, or at least the web. Here are some of the goodies:

Chaz Brenchley: White Tea For the Tillerman
Steven Brust: Achilles
Michael Canfield: Peas and Carrots & Think of a Pink Ship
Anna Feruglio Dal Dan: Me
Keith DiCandido: Wild Bill Got Shot
Debra Doyle and Jim Macdonald: The Queen's Mirror
Diane Duane: Parting Gifts

Emmet O'Brien: Timothy Leary's Head

Feel free to post links to your own stuff in comments -- I'd prefer SF and F stories, but if knitting patterns and filk and erotica and comics are what you have, then go ahead, as long as it's your own original work.

cheshyre has suggested that non-writers celebrate not only by an orgy of reading, but by posting about writers they've started reading because they discovered them online, which seems to me a splendid idea.

Have fun!

	I have a short fiction offering for you in two forms at my website. You may read “Beauty Will Come” or you may watch and listen to it. By combining the old puppetry form of toy theater with my nifty new digital webcam, I’ve made a Pixel-Stained Technopeasant short film of "Beauty Will Come". (Reply to this)

	A very short offering: a story, 'The Spindle', on my LiveJournal. For those who prefer to know the categories in advance: historical (Ancient Greece), lesbian. Looking forward very much to reading The Rebirth of Pan. (Reply to this)

	Happy IPSTP Day! And thanks to everyone for your generosity in providing us readers lovely things to read. The new ipstp community also has announcements from pixel-stained technopeasants of their offerings. (Reply to this)

	Start with this post right here, and it'll lead you to the preface and chapters, in numerical order, of my YA dark fantasy RBD. Future chapters will be posted two at a time, every Monday morning, until the entire novel is up. (Reply to this)

	autopope has put up Missile Gap. One word of warning: don't start reading the first thing on the page, it's a blurb intended to sell the chapbook. Click on "Chapter One" at the upper right and read from there. I've been curious about The Rebirth of Pan ever since you mentioned it. I'm glad it's now available to me. (Reply to this)

	A few quick quibbles: it looks like the first link of mine has an extra bit. Also, "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Boy (With Aliens)" is co-written with timprov. But -- whee! First post on my friendslist upon waking, what a lovely thing! (Reply to this)

	I see you've got the link already, and thank you for the link-gathering and the general organization. I don't think there's a post on my friends-list this morning that isn't something I want to sit down with, and it's just beautiful. (Um... there are two rs in my last name. Garrott.)

SINGLE (Anonymous) 2007-04-23 12:15 pm UTC (link)

Happy IPSTD, everyone! I've packaged two of my previously published short stories into an ebook I like to think of as a "fiction single." (Which is why I called it SINGLE.) "Miss Tennessee" originally appeared in the Land Grant-College Review, while "The Cryerer" first appeared in One Story. They are straight F--or perhaps lit F--but offbeat enough to please your average technopeasant. You can download SINGLE, in a myriad of formats, over at my place (http://jimhanas.com/ipstd.html). Best, Jim Hanas (Reply to this)
