Hello, fine people of the Second Apocalypse
.
One of the more interesting and conducive threads at Westeros has been going on over the past week, which Wert and Pat, from
The Wertzone and
Pat's Fantasy Hotlist respectively, have made a great deal more interesting by offering their insight and support.
As per the thread, some Westerosi and I have prompted a discussion with Wert and Pat, regarding what we can do to help Bakker succeed, especially in this the crucial lead-up to a new release after such a long publication gap.
And the answer, it seems, is very little.
But that very little - our own limited agency - turns out to be remarkable easy.
Pat and Wert have both recommended that the fandom get its collective asses out there and start reviewing the previous books in the series. Do so on Goodreads, on Amazon, find SFF reviewers who might be willing to review TDTCB, who might be willing to repost their original reviews (good or bad), as they have done below, comment on those reviews...
Outreach, outreach, outreach.
As Pat said at Westeros:
Bakker needs new asses in the seats. Not just our sorry asses!
