If you enjoy TV shows like Blackadder, Red Dwarf and Dr Who, or books by Douglas Adams, Tom Holt, Terry Pratchett or Jasper Fforde, then the Hal Spacejock series is for you. Featuring an incompetent pilot and his long-suffering robot sidekick, these books will have you laughing out loud.
Published by Fremantle Press and distributed by Penguin Australia, each of the Hal Spacejock books have appeared on one or more bestseller lists and all the reviews have been stellar.
Is there a joining fee? No!
Is there a membership form? Uh-uh!
Do I have to be qualified in any way? Oh, please!
Tell me more!
To join Hal Spacejock's support crew you only need two things: A blog (or website) and a mouse. First, create a new post:
Title: Hal Spacejock's Support Crew
Intro: (Whatever you like. E.g. 'Don't blame me, I'm a sucker for the latest viral marketing scheme.')
Post: This is the important bit. Copy the code from one of the text boxes below and paste it into your blog exactly as shown. (You can see what it'll look like at the top of this page. Yes, there's a lot of it. No, it won't break your blog.)
Add any comments you want afterwards. E.g. 'Pick me, pick me' or 'What the hell was that all about?' are ideal.
And what about the mouse? Feed it, keep its cage clean and give it fresh food every day.
(By the way, if you paste the code from the first box and it loses the line breaks, try the code in the second box. And with some blogs - e.g. Wordpad - you have to switch to 'code' or 'html' editing mode before pasting. The third box contains BB code suitable for forums.)
This code for Myspace, LJ, Blogger:
With line breaks. (Wordpress or html pages):
BB suitable code for many forums.
What does the code do?
If you get it right, it should look just like this:
I joined Hal Spacejock's Support Crew
I didn't pay anything,
I didn't sign anything,
and I didn't read the fine print.
Just like Hal!
No space pilot can exist in a vacuum (hah!), and behind every successful pilot there's a talented and dedicated support crew.
Hal Spacejock is one of the least successful space pilots in the history of the galaxy, and a worldwide support crew is needed just to get him off the ground.
What's in it for you?

And my reward?
Now for the good part. Once a month I'll run this Google search to find any Support Crew posts from the last three months, and then I'll leave a comment on one of them letting the owner know they've won a signed copy of Hal Spacejock! (The winner will also be announced on my own blogs, with a link to the support crew post.)
And finally, if you join Hal's support crew, send me a link to your post and I'll publicise it. Just email spacejock at gmail dot com with the URL.
