Piracy Hath Its Privileges

Posted by edd on Sunday, January 17th 2010

Do you pay for any subscriptions to online journals or magazines?

Have you considered splitting the cost with a few pirates?

Tell me what online publications you would like to see here at Edd’s and I’ll see about working them into the new Subscription Plan for Pirates, coming soon. Here’s how it will work:

Anyone can visit the Resource Page and view the feeds from several free e-magazines.
Hopefully, I will be able to include a collaborative piece by the members of this site for registered members in the near future. Signing up and blogging at Edd’s Tavern will always be free.
Paid Subscribers will have the option to choose from several plans that will be based on Categories, Popular Bundles, and Customizable Selections that will be priced depending upon the number of publications you wish to sign up for.

Please give me your opinions and suggestions. As the size of our pirate crew grows, I should be able to add more and more choices, as well as making it more affordable to access some great resources.

Random Quote

“There are, of course, two major directions on the disc: Hubward and Rimward. But since the disc itself revolves at the rate of once every eight hundred days (in order to distribute the weight fairly upon its supportive pachyderms, according to Reforgule of Krull) there are also two lesser directions, which are Turnwise and Widdershins.
    Since the disc’s tiny orbiting sunlet maintains a fixed orbit while the majestic disc turns slowly beneath it, it will be readily deduced that a disc year consists of not four but eight seasons. The summers are those times when the sun rises or sets at the nearest point on the Rim, the winters those occasions when it rises or sets at a point around ninety degrees along the circumference.
    Thus, in the lands around the Circle Sea, the year begins on Hogs’ Watch Night, progresses through a Spring Prime to its first midsummer (Small God’s Eve) which is followed by Autumn Prime and , straddling the half-year point of Crueltide, Winter Secundus (also known as the Spindlewinter, since at this time the sun rises in the direction of the spin). Then comes Secundus Spring with Summer Two on its heels, the three quarter mark of the year being the night of Alls Fallow – the one night of the year, according to legend, when witches and warlords stay in bed. Then drifting leaves and frosty nights drag on towards Backspindlewinter and a new Hogs’ Watch Night nestling like a frozen jewel at its heart.
    Since the Hub is never closely warmed by the weak sun the lands there are locked in permafrost. The Rim, on the other hand, is a region of sunny islands and balmy days.
    There are, of course, eight days in a disc week and eight colours in its light spectrum. Eight is a number of some considerable occult significance on the disc and must never, ever, be spoken by a wizard.
    Precisely why all the above should be so is not clear, but goes some way to explain why, on the disc, the Gods are not so much worshipped as blamed.”
- Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic
