Howdy, folks. I never quite got 200 pledges to subscribe to the new part of the web site, but I got close enough to try it. For all those who said you'd sign up, hopefully you meant it, because now's your chance. Again, I want the members area to be for people who have read "The Iron Web." The separate blog, the chat room, and other stuff will all make a lot more sense if you've read the book. So there's a pop quiz in the subscription process, to see if you've read the book. (If you really have read it, but can't quite remember enough to pass the quiz, you can send me an e-mail and I might help you cheat.) I can't say too much here, but the point of the members area is NOT just to chat about a fictional story, which would be fairly useless. The purpose is very "real world" oriented. Those of you who have read the book will probably know what I mean. Those of you who haven't ... well, I guess you'll have to take my word for it. Better yet, if you haven't read the book, go steal a copy from a friend, or order your own at the link below. For those who HAVE read it, go to http://www.larkenrose.com and look down the left side for the "Join the Iron Web" link, to sign up for the members area. As promised, the members area is a wimpy $6 a month, and you can pay either monthly, quarterly, semi- annually or yearly, and you can do it via PayPal (which can take credit card orders even if you DON'T have a PayPal account), or, for those who don't like PayPal, don't like banks, whatever, you can do everything by "snail mail" (check, money order, cash, whatever), though the sign-up process is still done on the web site. We wanted to make this completely compatible with those who are appropriately "paranoid," when it comes to snooping fascists as well as identity theft. For example, there won't BE any "list" of subscribers for the control freaks to ever demand. But I'll explain more about that stuff in a separate message. Larken Rose http://www.larkenrose.com (P.S. I'll try to be in the members' area chatroom for a while tonight, so those who want to harass and/or call me nasty names can get right to it. If you want to say something nice, I guess I'll allow that, too.)
