We can't pay authors fees and still keep it completely free. What we do instead, as you know
@authoramish , is to give our authors the most fabulous hospitality, lay on the best music & parties, and make it a week few will ever forget!1 reply 1 retweet 7 likes

And yes, JLF does rock. Sanjoy, Namita and you do a fabulous job.
