[QUOTE="ha-gieden, post: 3447622, member: 50207"] Wow. This is getting nasty. I think that anyone reading this thread has probably gotten a pretty good idea of the pros and cons of the anthology by now. There is no monetary compensation, and some feel that this devalues authors. On the other hand, the anthology promises to be a nice book, and some people do wish to be included - even if it's purely for the enjoyment of doing so. There may be other issues, but these seem to be the main two. They've been said multiple times and in multiple ways. Things have gotten ugly. I, for one, am bowing out of this discussion. I respect you, Bards and Sages and Mouseferatu. It's good to see publishers who care so much about the plight of authors. I respect you, G7. I've talked to you quite a bit, and know that you care deeply about your craft. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone on this thread, and I hope that we all get through this with no hard feelings. I think it's safe to leave the argument behind and just let anyone who clicks on the thread read the *ahem* discussion that has already taken place. They will see both sides and can decide for themselves. [/QUOTE]
