You should also know that I have been a ‘zine editor in the past, which is why I found Mysti’s editorial extremely interesting. It recounts an incident she had with one of her writers: apparently this writer put his story out on the World Wide Web some time before it was to appear in Green Eggs and Ham #6. Mysti was quite justified in being upset... this is almost tantamount to prostituting yourself, then representing yourself to your fiancé as a virgin. (OK, my language is a bit strong.) This sounded like a case of ignorance rather than intent, simply because the author did inform Mysti what he had done... but it does make one wonder what less principled authors might do...? [1]

I'm also disgusted with myself cuz I ordered the zine, No Surrender, about 6 hours before the author posted a notice to another list that it had timed out and it was up on her site, but that's another topic, I suppose. <g> Suffice it to say, I thought Surrender was worth the money I paid. [2]

Author's notes [for The Fire They Bear]: This story was originally published in the wonderful zine Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience. Someone reminded me today that I never did post it here after it timed out. [3]
