[QUOTE="davewoodrum, post: 497662, member: 8322"] Yes..I apologize. I was a wee bit harsh when I gave my two cents on that one but alot of it comes from many years of personal sacrifice to this hobby and a couple others. I've been involved in stuff where you got a little money but the employer didn't care (but at least you were paid so it was hard to argue), then I've been involved in stuff (independent pro wrestling) where you gave your 250% (yeah, that much) and took over the duties of half a dozen people for nothing and nobody cared.... When something like this comes around and you get an honest warning up front that you're not going to make a great deal but the outfit has at least set a standard, expected amount that one will be rewarded for their efforts, personally I tend to look more towards the quality of the overall product and the experience of working for the product. Let's face it, Enworld sees alot of publishers and fans... likewise, I'm sure many of these individuals will be reading the magazine when it comes out. Considering too who will be publishing P.J., I can figure that it will be a top notch product.... In my opinion this is "opportunity knocks" for alot of lesser known writers and artists... again, this can essentially be looked at as getting paid $30 for someone to advertise your talents to the open market.
