#WritersCoffeeClub 20 March: Who is your ideal reader?

Myself.

(I get *all* the buried references and in-jokes!)

More prosaically, I try to write books I can't find on the shelves but want to read. So I'm writing for someone with similar tastes to me. Luckily my taste in SF/F appeals to a lot of people but is out of the mainstream enough that I don't have a lot of direct competition. So I can earn a living at this gig …

@cstross I certainly don't get all your references, but it is so much fun when I get one. And when I don't, I may get some joy from looking them up, to be prepared for the next book.
