Dear Benj Clews
In 2008, Yukon sent me a private message saying you guys were making a FWFR book and asking for my permission to include some of my FWFRs.
He said in that message that payment would be a free copy of the book if you guys managed to find a publisher.
So just wondering - did any of my reviews make it into the book? And will you honor that agreement (ie will I be receiving a free copy of the book)?
Cheers
Boydegg
ps - sorry in advance if this is in the wrong forum.

| Don't worry- I'm going to be sending around an email to everyone in the book asking for, amongst other things, a mailing address for those who requested a freebie. |

I'm quite happy to pay for my copy of the book (and was/am expecting to). I don't think anyone (i.e., benj) owes me anything, it's not like I wrote reviews to do anyone else a favour. I did it for personal entertainment.
Benj has put large amounts of unpaid time (and I'm assuming money on hosting costs etc) over the years into a site I've used for personal entertainment, so I'm not expecting any charity. For all I know this book won't sell well and there'll be no income from it (hopefully this won't be the case) in which case it won't be a 'free' book, it'll come out of someone's pocket.
However, if benj makes millions out of it then I wouldn't say no to a refund. |

I'm with Falken and Se�n, I'll happily pay for my copy. 
As well as the numerous copies I'll probably buy people as presents!

It's tough to tell who is going to make it in the book. The book as gone through several changes over the last year. Benj and I working on the final manuscript, but even then it's going to be tweaked. We're going to add to movies that come out in the spring to make the book as current as possible.
There is going to be about 1,800-2,000 reviews in the book so a lot of people will get in. All I can say is Benj and I are doing our best to make sure all Fourum regulars and the site's top contributors have at least one review published.
We want everyone to be a part of the book.

I was just thining last night that the FWPT section of the forum would make an excellent 'chapter' of the book ... or even a book on its own.

Benj and I asked the book editors if they wanted a chapter on porn and celebrity sex tapes. They said no -- we don't want to scare away any soccer moms. |
