The Queen of Weltschmerz🏳️⚧️@scalzi Yup, that’s done!
Jim. From Kansas.@scalzi Your books are always Gouda. I'm in!
marcus@scalzi Too bad that 'pie' doesn't rhyme with 'Brie'.

You better have a pair of characters named Wallace and Grommit. Or I will be very cross.

I don't know, it looks a little cheesy to me...
Yeah just kidding. It looks great! It'll stand out (in a good way).

Stefan Scholl@scalzi seems like it can answer questions we all had at least once.
(But not sober.)
Greg@scalzi Any idea when the audio version will come out?
KevinNeal Stephenson: "What would happen if the moon suddenly exploded?" @scalzi: "I don't know but hold my beer, I'll get cheese and crackers" 😆
WTL@scalzi An entire moon of fondue. 🤔
Raj 🇬🇧🇪🇺💻🖥(🌻🇺🇦;🇵🇸)@scalzi Jeez, you come up with some bizarre ideas (which is not to say I don't love 'em).
JD@scalzi I'll go pre-order right now. I can't wait for another Scalzi page turner. My father in-law just finished Redshirts, he said he couldn't put it down and read it in one night.
HighlandLawyer@scalzi Research via the archives of Usenet's Soc.History.What-if?
Ronan@scalzi At least now there is a valuable resource to mine up there.
Way better than helium-3.
That said, it suddenly becomes far more difficult to get there, what with the floor melting under the landers' thrusters.
Kifty@scalzi This is like turning an xkcd "What If?" article into a novel and I'm here for it.
Vicki Davis@scalzi firstly, congrats. secondly, thank you for the ear worm! it’s going to take me a while to get that out of my head
Steinar Bang@scalzi Does the novel have mousestronauts in it?
BunRab Is Old And Tired@scalzi
Singin rooty toot toot for the moon
Biggest star I've ever seen
Whirling around like a ball of green cheese
Burnin just like kerosene.
Oops, I'm old. Nobody remembers that song.
@scalzi
I am informed I got the words wrong. That's working from 50-year-old memories for ya!

v̾i̾t̾r̾i̾o̾l̾i̾x̾@scalzi getting hungry just thinking about it
Andy Welfle 🪐@scalzi LOL! Amazing. I can't wait to read this one.
Hayley/Dragon🏳️⚧️@scalzi @lisamelton This looks great, but also: I’ve always had a problem with that line, because if the Moon really *did* hit your eye? Then you’d have some problems, son. Short ones, to be sure, but still.
Ambiorickx@scalzi i regret to admit ive never read any of your books. What would you suggest would be a good starter for my upcoming transatlantic flight?
@ambiorickx @scalzi As a fan, I would recommend starting with Old Man's War - and if you are in the mood for something a bit more humourous, Redshirts.
Guido Kollerie@scalzi If I can get used to talking intelligent cats (Starter Villain) and actually liked the story very much, I think I might get used to a moon sized piece of cheese.
ReyPenguino@scalzi wishlisted!
Tony Fisk@scalzi Subtitle: A Grand Day Out 2
Coyoty@scalzi I'd worry that the Flat Earthers will be justified when Earth turns into a giant Ritz next.
dna cowgirl@scalzi Who Moved My Cheese? 🧀😉
