Results of Another Web Publishing Experiment

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pulp-fiction dept.

Dienyddio writes "Shadowmarch, an ambitious web publishing project launched by Tad Williams last year (previously mentioned on slashdot) is to cease the bi-monthly story format after one year. The sad news was broken by Tad on the site. It seems that there were just too few subscribers to make the format pay, this combined with the heavy load placed on Tad by writing two episodes a month and a paper book to pay the bills has proved too much. All is not lost, DAW books has purchased the rights to three books based on the Shadowmarch story. It is hoped that these books will maintain the community side of the site. Tad will also be increasing the number of background stories and details relating to the Shadowmarch world on the site in order to promote fan interaction."

    That's an ambitious project for CLITs

    Hi there,

    I have a couple of rather odd requests to make, not something which would be accepted for an Ask Slashdot either ..

    My first question is, does anyone know where I can obtain damaging trojan horse programs from? I plan to plant them on my open ftp server (it keeps getting hit by warez dudes, I'd like to get my own back somehow)

    Secondly, does anyone know of a sure way to submit someone's email address to spam collecting bots? I am secretly keeping track of someone's email via a .forward file to an anonymous email account that I check every week or so. However, in order to determine if it is still forwarding, I need to have emails sent there at irregular but short intervals. Spam seems the perfect option, but how do I trigger it?

    Kind regards,
    Jimmy Bucketspoon

    Did you know that slashdot's mum corporation lost yet another sizable amount on the markets yesterday? Looks like slahsdot's not long for this world. No linux company has ever recovered from such a precarious position, ever.

    I would like to thank C.L.I.T. for their important work.
