[QUOTE="TGryph, post: 6259958, member: 19651"] I can't speak for the later issues, but back in the mid 100'2 to low 200's I had four articles published in Dragon, with none of the situations you described. It was quite a while ago, but as I recall.. I sent in a sheet with several Article Ideas. They told me to develop a couple. I sent in the article. They sent it back, requesting some edits. It was published. Now, the first one someone at the magazine changed a fair bit, but each time it got less and less until the fourth one was pretty much as I had written it. I also had two more articles rejected without rewrites almost immediately, so I feel I didn't waste a lot of time. It was in general a very positive experience for me. TGryph [/QUOTE]
