The 2013 Fantasy Pin-up Calendar: Announcing our Authors
Last year, as some of you might remember, I accidentally published a calendar.
We did it as a fundraiser for Worldbuilders, and it fit in with our book-centered geekery pretty well because each month featured a pin-up based on a classic literary figure.
Like Mark Twain:
Lewis Carrol:
Or Nathanial Hawthorne:
At some point while working with the artist, Lee Moyer, we ended up discussing how it would be cool to do a similar sort of calendar, but with more modern authors.
Maybe even doing it with some...

Personally I'm looking at it as a substitute for the Men of the Stacks calendar which does not seem to be an option for 2013.
As a woman, I approve of this calendar.
Mishka, concur! Also, I would argue that at least one female character in this calender (Phedre no Delauney, Ms. Carey's creation) was born to be objectified. She would, in fact, rather delight in it, I suspect.
"It exploits men by exploiting women." :Phttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124819/q...
There's a market for everything and people willing to do the job, so I say what's the harm?
As a woman, I approve of this calendar! And I will probably buy it - it's all in good fun!
Indeed. "...out of the mouths of babes."And to be fair, I volunteer myself for an all male pin-up calendar. It will likely only sell to grody old men or lesbians who see me as a "butch chick", but such is the mantle I carry. :P
As a woman, I want a male version please please please! Kvothe! Jamie Fraser! and so on....
If I were in it, folks would have to settle for Gollum! Ha!That laugh is to hide my pain. :'(
