[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1472940, member: 6398"] Hiliarious, yes. But possibly short-sighted. Consider for a moment that you wrote something, submitted it, and the deal's done. In your post and James', that's the end of it. However, now the editors/developers take it and change it. They've got the right, no one's argueing that. However, in being released, there is a sizable amount of outcry about how much it sucks. And, as discussion over it reveals, what people are most upset about are the parts you [i]didn't[/i] write. However, it's [i]your name[/i], not the editors/developers, that is attached to the material, and therefore it is you, not them, that is being rediculed, berated, or otherwise ripped on for it. This has a further trickle down effect: People associate your name to something they didn't like and are thus less likely to notice (and purchase!) further material associated to you. This is why I'm glad David Noonan and Paizo have both publicly indicated the occurance of post-submission alterations; I now know that the editor is responsible for more than a few misplaced commas and improper grammer and will therefore pay as much attention to which editors are involved in a project as I am with who's credited for writing it. (Indeed, now looking at the editor credits for some of the less-loved products written by authors I normally like, I am starting to see a few names crop up repeatedly... I'd definately say that my future purchases are going to shift to some degree because of it. If I see the same names in association to authors I have dismissed earlier, I might actually end up giving these authors another chance if I can find a product by them with a different editor. After all, there's only one author I've written off entirely for reasons other than his writing, so why not give the others a reasonable third chance now that I have a better understanding of post-submission proceedures...)
