Why you cry?I've already planned my funeral, (hopefully it's a long way off), and the poem I want read at it is "I wish I'd looked after me teeth" by Pam Ayres. Wise words Pam .

Absolutely. In a blog post.I’m sure we will get her hot take on it, elevenifing everything with her own experiences if she is feeling bold , in a few weeks or so

Yeah, if you're promoting a new book and not an A list celeb (which guest is not) then a lot of literary festivals and other speaking gigs don't pay well, if at all. Maybe hundreds, possibly up to a few K if you're a big name draw in a big venue (which the Hive is not) I'll look back through my emails tomorrow and see if I can find out what my deal was, although it was a fair few years ago now.@Lumpyspaceprincess I think dear frau @MavisBeacon said that if there's any appearance fee it's usually pretty small, and most of the authors make their money through selling books at signings after their talk.
She's probably already up there in a hotel playing chess with baeWill Jackie already be at the Hey! Festival, to avoid Bank holiday train chaos and have maximum celeb mingling time?

Didn't she get mistaken for a gay man once? "Philth said I was too pretty to be a gay woman but I said SHAN'T 'I bet she's FEWMIN that she can't insert herself into the situation one way or another and make it all about herself.

I guarantee what happened was:The whole "trolls are block buying tickets" thing makes no sense at all. She doesn't seem to understand why people would do that. It is a (costly) technique to no platform someone, by removing their audience. I don't think anyone cares that much if she tells her momentary poverty story for the umpteenth time, and certainly is not prepared to pay to do that. If anything the idea of her being scrutinised by an audience (or a host with just a bit of curiosity) sounds like something many of us would like to see.
Makes sense. Personally, I have a rule not to spend money on or give money to grifters, so I SHAN'T be buying tickets to listen to her bang on about The Pov™️, or buying her terrible books, or even spending money on the bus fare to go to a free talk to listen to her bang on about The Pov™️, or chipping in to her PayPal or subscribing to her Patreon.I guarantee what happened was:
She was lurking here, saw ninnies posting screenshots of checking the max amount of tickets available, and thought they were buying them

Sweet summer Hays Festival person, she’s not allowed to talk about her activism as it is all secret and behind the scenes
Maybe the Veiny Bollock Index is only for the governments use and therefore has a classification marking so the mortals can't see itSweet summer Hays Festival person, she’s not allowed to talk about her activism as it is all secret and behind the scenes
Adam Rutherford seems to be on again in the evening.Is it today that Jack retelling her back story to a tent full of Tabitha and Sebastian? (+192 free seats)
There's no mention on the advert Hay has Shared.. big celeb that Jack is, you'd think she'd be a crowd puller not a crowd repeller.

Mind you, it does say that's the 'online festival Pass Schedule' so Jack's tent might not have WiFi in... Or anyone that can cook..
