Rule the Waves: 1.1 - the Forging (Patreon)

Here it is, here it is, it's arrived. IT'S ARRIVED. The first 800-odd words of my planned book thing about the Directors-General of the BBC. The rather miserable youth and utterly deranged WWI exploits of John Reith.

A reminder: these are paid posts. You poor bastards are going to buy this book over and over again for gawd knows how long. When or if I finish it I'm going to have to come up with something spectacular in a reward to make up for it. Just remember: you can set a monthly maximum that can't be broken even if I go mad and post new paid content every day for the rest of my life.

And also remember that you're not just passive consumers of this thing. If you spot any glaring mistakes or extraneous tangents - and there will be plenty of extraneous tangents, those are my specialty - point them out, I won't punch you in the face for it or immediately collapse in self-contempt, I promise. And don't forget to spread the word.

Oh, and I almost forgot: I've spent the week updating bobthefish.org.uk. It's not quite finished yet, it needs a contact page, but it's pretty good. All my videos are embedded on it now, so it's not just a big non-interactive billboard anymore!
