That's why I do this stuff - not for money (though that's the dream), but for reactions like this.
If you'd like to read more of my stuff, I've been sporking the Mortal Instruments series (like the AB books, but with racism and borderline plagiarism instead of sex) at ImpishIdea.com (article author is the pretty much the same as my LJ username), or pick up the Sword and Laser Anthology from SwordandLaser.com (my story is "The Novice's Guide to Adventuring", and I receive no money from any sales).
