Free account vs. paid account

Can those of you who made the decision to go for a paid account tell me what the practical differences are (I can read the FAQ, and have, but it seems from FAQ reading that there's very little practical difference).

In other news, I'm working on the revisions for my first Luna novel at the moment; I've just finished rereading everything of relevance in SUN SWORD in preparation for the next leg of HOUSE WAR. I've written thousands of words on the weekend -- none of it with any commercial value whatsoever. That would be the poetry. 1 of the 6 cycles is actually word perfect, imho; but the rest, not so much.

And the correct response, when told -- by me, let me hasten to add (for Larry's sake if no one else's) -- "I'm working on poetry" is "I'm sorry to hear that." Or, "poor you." "Who died?" is also acceptable.

It's a number of years old, and an artifact of the creative silliness that came out of university and my university friends -- who are really like extended family in more ways than I can list. The original drawing was a black & white Moebius riff that poked fun at two of us -- and I'd forgotten about the picture entirely until a couple of friends put it up on Orkut. One had an archival copy of the publication, and scanned it, sending it to the other; he played with it in photoshop when he decided the line drawing didn't have the right "pop" effect in the smaller size.

But, I really -like- it; I think it was the only charicature done of me, ever, that people thought actually looked like me on some level.

It does make me wonder where Billy Shears and the boys are.
