I have another three three-month subscriptions to the Shatner Chatner to give away; comment here WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS -- comments are screened -- and if I have more than three by Wednesday night, I'll ask the RNG.

I just discovered upstairs a Moto G, running Android 5.1 and last security patched on 2016-03-01 with no current updates available. It has a lofty 8GB of space (5.5 user-accessible) and a tiny screen. It's also Verizon-locked, though because of its age, I don't think you would want to connect it to a cell network for anything more than pay-as-you-go backup texts. But, low-res games on home wifi, backup ebook reader, that kind of thing, maybe: if you want it, it's yours. Comment here by, oh, Tuesday night, you know the drill.

This Kindle Fire; I used it for watching video and reading comics and it did ok with the first but tended to stutter on the second and was just generally not a very responsive machine, which I guess is what I get for paying fifty bucks for it on sale. Anyway, free if you want it, let's say Saturday night, leave a comment or—if you don't have a DW account, leave your email in a screened comment—and if I get more than one request, I'll ask the RNG.

Edit: claimed!

I have a paper ARC of the last Temeraire book, League of Dragons, that I don't need (the nice people at Tor.com sent it to me, but then they got me access to an eARC, so I don't need both). This comes out in about six weeks.

Want it? Post a comment WITH YOUR U.S. MAILING ADDRESS and EMAIL ADDRESS (all comments are screened) in the next twenty-four hours and I'll mail it out tomorrow to someone selected by random number generator. (U.S. only to be safe, because it says that rights have been sold many places and I don't want to get anyone in trouble.)

Don't resell, don't be a jerk, only comment if you actually want to read. Thanks!

I've just reset SteelyKid's old Nook HD+ tablet. You may have heard me bitch about it, so I can't say it's been a good device, but it does run apps from the Google Play store; does anyone want it? I'll ship it wherever.

(If I get multiple requests by, oh, Tuesday night, I'll ask the RNG.)

I have finished a stitching project! And now I need something to do with it.

It is a pattern of interlocking knotwork in four variegated autumn-ish colors (tan, pink, red, and green). It's designed to be a bookmark, and I could finish it that way by stitching around the edges with thread the same color as the fabric and, optionally, leaving a fringe around some/all of the sides (an example is behind the cut). However, it might be a little big for a bookmark, as the stitched area is about 2" x 8". (I would not put a backing on it, as that would make it quite thick, so finishing it as a bookmark means the back side of the stitches will be visible. They are very tidy, but I'm happy to take a picture to prove it.) It could also be framed, in which case I would leave it as-is.

I will ship anywhere in the world, free. If you're moved to donate to Con or Bust in thanks, that would be great, but it is 100% optional. In the unlikely event that more than one person has asked for it by the end of the week, I will pick a random number. So if you like it, don't be shy! I would like it to find a home with someone who appreciates it. (I'm not keeping it because I don't need a bookmark or something to hang on a wall.)

(I have just written a bunch of stitching neep and then changed my mind and saved it to a file; probably I'll post to cross_stitch once I have pictures of its definite final state and post a link here.)
