Gillian Philip has decided to sue her publisher.

I'm not linking anything because I don't want to get deleted but if you google "Gillian Philip crowdfund" you might find what you are looking for. She already has 6362 potatoes planted.

[Peregrina]

Just sent her a tenner. As one who was an active feminist in the early 70s, we fought hard to win our rights. I am not going to see them given up willingly.

Same here, Peregrina. I've just bought her novel Bad Faith, set in a dystopian future. Bet she had no idea when she wrote it, in 2008, how dystopian things were going to get, and how quickly.

Just planted.

I had a quick skim through the comments, and was quite amazed by the fact that the majority of recent contributions (with comments) were from men, this is so much bigger than a few shouty women on Mumsnet now. I feel like every day that goes by at the moment we are gaining momentum.

Nowt wrong with shouty women…

Donated, good luck Gillian

Thanks for letting us know - lovely spring day for some gardening

[PurgatoryOfPotholes]

She has five nineths of that acre planted now. A few more parsnips to fill it in would be good.

[JanieAllen]

Gillian has changed lawyers and needs more carrots, parsnips, beans, potatoes by the 5th of June. Please help her out.

[Abhannmor]

I will give her a dig out. Fair play to her for getting the HGV after the publisher did the dirty on her. I can't even drive a car. Because I'm a soppy man.

[JanieAllen]

Bumping as Gillian very low on vegetables... check out her twitter for pinned tweet about allotment

I don’t understand where the gardening metaphor has come from - would anyone care to explain?

We are not permitted to talk about contributing to crowdfunders. So we talk about planting instead

Not permitted to talk about contributing to crowdfunders on this subject specifically? or generally?

Posts with links to crowdfunders are deleted, and any posts that might be perceived as asking for money or encouraging financial contributions are likely to be reported and deleted. It's across the whole site to discourage begging posts. I don't know about the crowdfunder link rule, but the no begging rule's been in place since I joined MN a decade or so ago.

Nice day to plant some lemon plants

[elfycat]

Planting a few veggies.

I'm sending out stories with a view to find an agent / publish. I'd hate for this to happen to me.

I see; thank you.

I have never gardened before but I just planted some sunflowers in Gillian’s flowerbed🌻 🌻

[ChristinaXYZ]

She deserves all the support she can get.

[dunBel]

Preliminary hearing starts tomorrow:

[Janeaustensquill]

Just got my spade out and the website says it’s not accepting any more contributions. Has some skulduggery occurred?

[dunBel]

Maybe they've done the online equivalent of "settling on the courthouse steps" and that's why it's no longer taking donations? Or did she set today as the end-date, and if the initial hearing says she can proceed then it'll be re-opened again? It may just be procedural niceties rather than skullduggery.

Sounds like there are already issues with the bundles and the defendents not doing their bundle job properly. Well, that's never happened before!

[Manderleyagain]

Janeaustensquill are you on the old crowd funder? She changed lawyers so opened a new one a whole ago. It is open today.

[Pyjamagame]

Why is there a break in tweeting? Anyone in the know? Last tweet 24 minutes ago.

[MissPollysFitDolly]

There are two cases up on crowd justice but neither of them are accepting new pledges, they should put up an explanation.
