Every publisher needs to have this Trigun Twitter user, who has a very specific handle, on their side.

A Trigun fan account with the username "bigolas dickolas wolfwood" with a much more tame Twitter handle of @maskofbun showered praise on Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone's 2019 novella This Is How You Lose the Time War on May 6, encouraging their followers and anyone else on Twitter to read the book. "Do Not look up anything about it," the fan wrote. "do it right now i'm very extremely serious." As of this article's publication, the tweet received 7.4 million views, over 110,000 likes and 12,000 retweets. Two days later, Bigolas Dickolas posted an update where El-Mohtar wrote a newsletter on her website titled "I tried to title this post for twenty minutes and failed," where she posted how she was "incomprehensibly grateful to bigolas dickolas."
