Baen's is fun, and while of course they push their books, there ARE a lot of good authors there to choose from; many of them post there frequently. Not as often as they did before this iteration of the Bar, because this software/carrier blows chunks, but they are supposedly in beta testing for yet a different version that shouldn't have these issues. You can get some cool snippets.
I'll see if I can bring over the link, or request permission to copy over the snippet; someone there did paste it on the Baen-site's thread.

Quote from Wen's facebook: "I said I had handed in Book #3, ELFHOME. Yes, there will be a book #4, but currently I'm working on a contempory fantasy based in Japan."
