International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Hendrix created a stir among science fiction and fantasy fans and authors with a LiveJournal posting on April 12, 2007.[6] The purpose of the posting was to explain, in part, why he would not be seeking the presidency of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America after having served as its vice president. He criticized authors who offer their works for free on the internet, either as written works, or recorded as podcasts. His comments have drawn criticism from a number of other authors, such as Jo Walton, Michael A. Stackpole,[7] John Scalzi,[8] and David Wellington,[9] and resulted in International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day.
