One more snippet, oh one more snippet we beg of you...
One more snipper, we're going to bu-uy that book.

Old RunForCelery wrote something, we're going to bu-uy that book.
He wrote of Hell a Quivering, we're going to bu-uy that book.

One more snippet, oh one more snippet we beg of you...
One more snipper, we're going to bu-uy the book.

He'd snippet it now and then, we're going to bu-uy that book.
We wish he'd snippet it again, we're going to bu-uy that book.

One more snippet, oh one more snippet we beg of you...
One more snipper, we're going to bu-uy the book.

There's only a few more weeks to go, we're going to bu-uy that book.
And snippeting's got mighty slow, we're going to bu-uy that book.

One more snippet, oh one more snippet we beg of you...
One more snipper, we're going to bu-uy the book.

Let's all get on our knees and pray, we're going to bu-uy that book.
There'll be another snippet some day, we're going to bu-uy that book.

One more snippet, oh one more snippet we beg of you...
One more snipper, we're going to bu-uy the book.

I called it months ago. He could dump the whole book on the forum and still sell a ton of copies to those of us who believe that we owe our favorite authors for their hard work and dedication.

RFC accidentally did something even worse a few years ago with one of the HH books. He intended to post half of it, and ended up putting the entire unedited eARC on Baen's website for a few hours. You can still buy the "Oopsie" version - I did in fact, since it was available a few weeks before Baen published the regular eARC.

Since we're getting no snippets at all and Tor has no intentions that I've heard of to publish a half eARC, I'm not holding my breath for any "oopsies!" :lol:

"Oh bother", said Pooh as he glanced through the airlock window at the helmet he'd forgotten to wear.

Which is why I'm a diehard Baen fan... I understand why MWW went the Tor route (he explained it one time in a post somewhere - it was related to front-end monies versus back end royalties, but it doesn't make me happy...

Plus, it's actually EASY to find things on the Baen site. Tor is a nightmare (or I'm just stupid, which is definitely possible... :lol: :lol: )
