Just a small "hi" from France, tell you how awesome you and your stories are. I saw you at Utopiales 2014, Nantes. Signed me a copy of Maelstrom. Didn't talk much. Too impressed. Wanted to ask you if that "Coecalanth" snippet on your site was part of Echopraxia, and if I could see this scars of yours.
Anyway, this is question time, not creepy fanboy remembrance time.
• I never found enough info on this stuff, and maybe it's been asked a trillion times and you're sick of it and I fail at Google forever, but exactly how far did your involvement in Homeworld 2 went?
• Is this Sunflower novel documented on Wikipedia still relevant, or was it just a working name for Echopraxia?
• And finally, a big, boring, numbingly down-to-earth question. The entertainment industry make such a whipping boy (thank god for Google Translate) of piracy, bootlegging and so on, multiplying copyright strikes and DRMs. But you released your books for free on your webzone, even giving advice on how to properly print physical copies. This might done in a time when there was no other way to be read, but now that your publishers have picked up the pace, do you think it's still a valid alternative, a viable one? If people are handed stuff for free, is a sizeable part of them still willing to pay?
Enfin bref, continuez à poutrer sa race, monsieur Watts.
