Being a member of the Bavarian Illuminati Motorcycle Cabal, this started to be discussed last night amongst the gang. I hope we pull something together for him.
Nice to see you posting again; bummbed that it is with rotten news.
Harlan Ellison has written and spoken in the past of the wretched unfairness of talented, productive authors having to work crap jobs on the side to pay the bills, and god forbid they get sick. George Alec Effinger was driven to bankruptcy by medical bills and almost lost the rights to his work to the hospital.
I posted the news and links in various places and will make a donation myself.
I actually found you through RAW's website. I'll be sending him something as soon as I can, as well as good vibes. He's a Godling, more in his right than most.
The story of R.A.W.'s plight hit Slashdot yesterday.
In addition to a lot of predictable posts by blockheaded libertarians insisting that charity is counterproductive, a lot of folks said they intended to pledge.
