Brontosaurus BDSM, Werewolf Marines, and Serious Social Issues: Self-Publishing in the Wild

I have an article on the reasons why people self-publish as a guest-post at Charlie Stross's blog. If you were one of the beta-readers, I added stuff to the post that's up now.

You are welcome to comment either here or there. However, if you comment here, one topic is banned. It is whether or not Amazon is evil. It is not banned at Charlie's blog, so feel free to discuss that over there. I just find it a dull topic, since nobody ever seems to have anything to say that doesn't summarize as "Why don't the writer-sheeple see that Amazon is evil?!!!"
