It is, isn't it, Richie. I don't think HC will ever come down out of that Ivory Tower.

Interesting Diane, but not altogether surprising. I seem to recall some earlier post about an article on the POD plans of HC.

Still, as Alexander agrees, the site is useful for helpful 'peer review' and some fun, but HC seem not to be taking the project as seriously as the 'writers most likely to become published' would wish. (I am NOT one.)

POD may, or may not, represent the future. I suspect it will develop and become more attractive to the great unwashed public, taking a larger market share,so we shouldn't be too surprised that HC want a large slice of that action.

It's an opinion eloquently put. It's one way of looking at it. I'm kinda scratching my head and wondering why so many people seem to be of the opinion that HC owes us anything.

Maybe it helps if you're in a genre they don't publish much.

I never expect anything, except what the writing community at Authonomy can do for me, and that has been an awful lot. I will stop participating here when I feel it's no longer beneficial to me. Never mind HC. I enjoy the site, so I'm thankful they've set it up. I'll take from it what I can use and ignore what I can't. That's all.
