Top 10 Posts for May 2017

Posted on by

Filers reaction to a linked essay by Eric Raymond at the Libertarian Futurist blog veered into a long and heated debate about the government of the Shire, all adding up to File 770’s most-read post in the month of May.

Worldcon and Hugo-related news dominated the non-Scroll Top 10 — although fan interest in Camestros Felapton’s parody about my favorite alt-marketing specialist lifted it into third place.

  1. I really loved that LOTR government argument. I’ve already forgotten what the linked article said, but I learned stuff in the debate over whether Middle Earth was completely monarchical.

  2. 2nd time I’ve been top 10. I think I was #1 last time. Will try harder this month. I’ll have a new book release y’all will be excited about so that should help. 🙂

    Well, it is not as if you could sell less books to people here…
