@cstross Disappointed to have missed this. I'd have voted "Hell, no!" if that had been an option, although I might have softened my position somewhat if there had been mention of having a Guinness in a Dublin pub after the signing.
@bodhipaksa I won't be staying in Dublin.
@cstross In that case I revert to the "Hell no" option.
How do you keep yourself sane while doing something like that? When I'd signed much smaller quanities than I assume you're signing I've found it incredibly boring.
That sounds like a tough gig. I hope your signing hand doesn't cramp too much.
@bodhipaksa I don't! Worst signing *ever* came to my front door—a crate of 1000 frontispieces to sign so they could be bound into a limited edition. Took a couple of days. The only way I could get through it was to mutter "one pound … one pound … one pound …" every time I picked up a new sheet (that's about what it paid above the basic royalty on SRP for a hardcover).
Writing lines used to be a punishment at school. Now it's part of the day job.
@cstross @bodhipaksa yikes, "limited edition" not limited enough!
@cstross Ugh! I did that once for a few hours and almost went insane.
