Interesting that the article is titled "The Misinformation Age: What Happens When a Headline Goes Viral" and there's a lot of misinformation (on the part of the publisher). They make it sound like they did nothing wrong, but isn't it a publishing company's job to, say, reign in a problem editor? Also, there's a quote about "...and stand up and say what is right." Wouldn't this quote apply to Verday and the other authors that pulled their work from the anthology as well as the publishing company?<br /><br />-future_guardianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374075192901571152.post-20841469793131024322011-04-04T10:01:28.668-07:002011-04-04T10:01:28.668-07:00I'm rather disappointed with Francesca Lia Blo...I'm rather disappointed with Francesca Lia Block- not only is she ignoring how badly this was handled, but she's denying that the editor and publishers have pushed the blame of this debacle on Verday. <br /><br />Telep has a lot more to apologize for than just her interaction with Verday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966297437498187576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374075192901571152.post-14568694263948898612011-04-02T15:48:33.549-07:002011-04-02T15:48:33.549-07:00On a side note: I reviewed Brenna Yovanoff's T...On a side note: I reviewed Brenna Yovanoff's The Replacement for my publisher last year, and I gave it a relatively high rating (I'm nor trying to advertise anything: I just thought it would be apropos in the Sparkle Project). I particularly enjoyed her female characters: after tons and tons of weeping, fainting damsels I had to endure, she gave me two quick-witted, capable and all-around kick-ass girls. When I learned that she decided to pull out of that anthology, my respect for her went up a notch further.<br />(morri_delrae - still cannot log in :( )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374075192901571152.post-68377912362374839112011-04-02T09:16:26.370-07:002011-04-02T09:16:26.370-07:00This is interesting but who's to say Telep wou...This is interesting but who's to say Telep wouldn't manufacture a 'safe' reason to reject a LGBTQ submission in future?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374075192901571152.post-51341951732152375542011-03-31T12:34:49.778-07:002011-03-31T12:34:49.778-07:00I wonder why the publisher isn't saying anythi...I wonder why the publisher isn't saying anything new yet.
