monospaced, if you don't know the casue in the 1st place, why you join in? just for your own exposure? i couldn't help myself but i have to ask this question.

1. Patrick is one of the old school regulars here and is desperately trying to finish making a documentary film about the illness that is gradually preventing him from functioning physcially. He has also established a charity, the Patrick O'Brien Foudnation and the book is aiming to raise money for that.
2. The project is alive and well FYI. The book is now being compiled backstage. Its just not a part of the process that inspires many Press Releases on the forum. Bear with us.
Go bare, with us.

Oh yeah, because everyone who entered pages did it for Patrick O'Brien except for me. I know the cause, by the way, and I'm not into shameless exposure. Shame on you for even suggesting it.
- kelpie0
actually, if you submitted, how on earth could you not know the answers to these questions? there were hundreds of threads on the go
- Once again, I knew about the cause, I was just wondering why this one was chosen.monospaced
- not being a narky cunt, just astounded that you missed all the chatkelpie
- I didn't miss shit.monospaced
- you must have, this was covered. fair enough thoughkelpie
- to be fair as u say kelpie, there were too many threads. at 1 point i nearly gave up keep track of all of themWeLoveNoise
- of course, kelpie's giving me shit and he didn't even submit. no wonder he's so bittermonospaced
- hahaha, I'm NOT giving you shit, calm down you fucking pussy!kelpie
- typist0
then why bring this up and asking ?
- I was curious why that cause was chosen, and when the site was up. You need to chill!monospaced
- did you submit typist?monospaced
- mistermik0

I submitted work simply to be a part of the first printed QBN book. That's it. Sorry.
The fact that proceeds are going to a charitable cause is the plus, for sure (can't argue with that), but nobody should be scolded for not using that as the only motive for participating.

I think there are two reasons to contribute to the book. One is a charitable gesture for Patrick, the other is to have a few pieces of work in an anthology that is being published by a reputable publisher.
Personally, Patrick was way before my time, so my motivation leans more towards the personal.
The reason the book idea came to fruition though was to do something that could raise funds for the Patrick O'Brien foundation. Its a family thing. Patrick is part of the QBN family.
- awesome, thanks.
how much money does Patrick need, and for what?monospaced - $2, for coffee.Horp
- I read his site. I get it now.monospaced
- Seriously though, its a foundation, so ongoing. Patrick needs to finish his film, which highlights the illness...Horp
- providing valuable exposure to an overlooked condition. The Foundation raises funds to help people in a similar condition I believe.Horp
- I read his site. I get it now!monospaced
- Hahaha, sorry I was typing as you were posting so I didn't see.Horp
- awesome, thanks.

I'll be a narky cunt.
You obviously didn't read every post in the history of QBN and Newstoday otherwise you would know these things. Guess you were too busy trying to ride on my cock for missing shit.
