It’s Fan Art Friday (the 13th!) today, but first a couple of other things:
ONE
My introduction to the Mind-Rain collection is up for your free perusal until Tuesday morning. Mind-Rain is a collection of essays about the Uglies series, written by YA and adult authors. Click here to read my intro essay.

There’s a meet-up at the Forum tomorrow, Saturday, August 14. If you’re a USian in the Eastern Time Zone, it’s at 5PM. For people in London it’s at 10PM Saturday night, and for Australians it at the HIGHLY CONVENIENT time of 7AM Sunday morning.
Hope you all can make it. Alas, I am going to a basketball game (Let’s Go, Liberty!) and can’t make it. But there will be many cool people to discuss thing with. To get to the Forum, just click that button on the menu bar above, all the way to the right. (THE ONE THAT SAYS FORUM.)

Next comes this lovely Lego Huxley by Ben and Ann!
And you thought only Clankers could have Lego contraptions, didn’t you?
Because there are no doubt some fans out there missing Uglies fan art, here’s a cover remix from Kristen.

It’s always great to see you guys in Specials make up when I’m on tour, so keep it up! And please keep the fan art coming, so we can do many more Fan Art Fridays.
Watch this space for details of my October tour, which should be scheduled in early September. Note: It looks like I’m coming to Vancouver for the first time ever in November! I am excited by this.
Woo, a meetup! I’m excited. I haven’t attended one yet, but I think I will this time. 😉
Awesome fanart, thanks for posting it!
Seriously? Like, seriously? One of my favouritest authors ever is coming to my city this November? The Canadian one? -goes and dies of excitement- Please please please let this be true! I guarantee that if you do come to Vancouver, you will have at least one crazy rabid fangirl in attendance. So looking forward to it!
Yes, the Vancouver in CANADA!
Wow, Vancouver. That’s still far away from where I’m at. Oh, well. I might be able to make that forum date, but we’ll see! Neat fan art; I like the Specials work and the cool Darwinist legos. 😎

The specials make up is epic. Done very well.
One question, how do you send in fan art?
Also, you think your ever going to head back to Tx again? O_o
Hey Scott-la, if you could come to say, Dallas, on September 20th (my birthday, wink wink) that would rock. But alas I know are busy and shall hope to see you soon, if not in Dallas.
Just send fan art to my email address: scott at scottwesterfeld.com. Note that the “at” should be an @ sign!
Coolio.
Yay Scott-la! Vancouver is the best place in the world! Though…November isn’t the best time to come. Bring an umbrella…and wellies.
😀 Can’t wait for Behemoth to come out!! Super excited!! Hope you tour in Miami again :D!!!
Oooo… Totally want to create my own Specials makeup. That was my favorite Uglies book.
Hope you’re come to Indy!
I really hope you’re coming to the west coast!!!! Awesome fan art; I epecially like how Derryn looks in the first piece.
Oh my gosh!!! I love the Specials cover remix!!! And, of course, I love the other fan art, too.
But mostly the cover remix. 😀
Awesome fanart! I love fanart Fridays! A lot of your fans are really, really creative.
And tour dates! (Or.. tour date hints, anyway. haha) Lucky Canadians. You said you didn’t think that your publishers were going to send you to the west coast but I’m still kind of hoping that will change. haha. 🙂
That’s for saying how to send in fanarts! ^_^
Please come to Texas *crosses fingers*, oh you lucky Canadians, how I wish I could visit Vancouver.
How come you never come to viva Las Vegas, Nevada, Scott??????

Wow… cool fan art. and all of you Vancouver-ians are really lucky. *shouts: Mom, can we go to Vancouver this November? Mom replies: No, why the heck do we need to go to Vancouver? We already went on a big trip this year.* Sigh. PLEASE post other tour destinations SOOOON!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha, I never realized that Friday was Friday the 13th… hmmm… maybe that’s why my friend and I got temporarily lost riding scooters around my neighborhood….
Im so please we had the Olympics cause it makes the world
finally realize that Vancouver is just as awesome as all those other
big cities.
Just a questions for my fellow commenter people… Am I the on;ly one who noticed that one of the LEGO people has an extremely interesting hat????? Wow, that hat rocks… I like it.
lol yes it is a very kool hat….
ahhhhh! Vancouver! so close, yet so far. dang it. i live less than 100 miles from the US/Canada border, yet there is no way I’m going to make it to Vancouver. this may call for desperate measures. does anyone have a Huxley they can loan me? actually, in November, that might be a really bad idea. brrrr! LOL
Scott, you must come to Seattle. it is awesome, we love books, and we have really, really good coffee (that was my hypnotizing voice, although it doesn’t work very well when I’m typing)
He probably will, he came to seattle last year
and If he doesn’t Im sure you could make it to Vancouver.
I made it to Seattle last year.
it is just opposite 😛
Mr. Scott Westerfeld! I am sure thta by now we are all DYING for a new post!!!!!!! Please post something new. Anything, even something about carrots, we’ll all still read it and comment!
Are you going to be coming to somewhere relativly close to Salinas, CA, Scott-la? If so, then YAY!!!!!! If not then, well…..I’ll just persuade my mom to take me on a trip…. *sigh*
