[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 3933190, member: 151"] The magazines he mentions most certainly do NOT have circulations "many,many times" larger. In fact, the exact OPPOSITE is true, and has been for years. Dragon was averaging a circulation of 70,000 issues/monthly in 2006, iirc. "Fantasy & Science Fiction" had a circulation in 2006 of 14,575 subscribers (plus 3691 on the stands). "Asimov's" has about 15,000 subscribers, too. "Analog" sold roughly 28,000 between subscribers and newsstands. "Realms of Fantasy" is about comparable with F&SF. In other words, other niche publishers are paying better and NOT demanding complete rights to the author's works. Scalzi is merely calling that out. He's not angry about it. This is a man who's website's motto is "[i]Taunting the Tauntable[/i]", after all. [/QUOTE]
