    CaptMatt…

    What did you have published? I’m curious.

    A science fiction novella. I lucked into some cash and took it to a vanity publisher that used to be here in Chicago. I actually took it around to bookstores on the Northside and suburbs, myself, and asked if they would put it on their racks. A few did, about 150 copies sold.

    Two years later, at a local scifi con, I’m looking at APA’s on a vender’s table and inside one of them, I find my story. A few minor plot changes, different title, but almost exactly the same. Even the character names were the same.

    I contacted the APA manager, showed her my book and she pulled her volume and apologized profusely. The guy who put it in there was blacklisted but when I finally met him, he just laughed and gave me the finger.

    He moved to California not too long after.

    Been working out since sept 2001.
    Just saying that some ypu guys treat women very well, I was Having dinner with a business Client.I really like him ,He was nice in my office.
    and instead of light conversation to get to know each other, He wanted to Oil me up and wrestle me :blush: after dinner, loser as to do what the winner saids! :S
    I mean if we were going out steady for a couple of weeks, sure I do it & put him in traction. 😆
    But when I said no ,its to soon we don’t each other that well he lost intrest.

    I think the problem is a lot of guys into muscle are just that, into muscle, and they forget those muscles are attached to a living. breathing woman.

    Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman, gives a thumbs-up to the new costume.

    It definitely looks like I’m in the minority on this around here. Probably because I’m the only person on here to have something professionally published.

    I know how much time I spent researching, plotting, outlining, writing, rewriting, editing, rewriting the edits, having some one else edit, do rewrites from those edits, having a legal entity overlook the work and then making changes to it for them.

    To have someone then take that several years worth of work, then spread it around for free is a frustrating, aggravating and ultimately discouraging. Its why I have NOT pursued getting anymore of my writing published, because it seems to be the prevailing attitude amongst those who don’t create, that they are entitled to other’s work for free.

    And this is why some people base out of Hoboken instead of New York City.

    Somehow the words “sex” and “Hoboken” don’t seem to go together. Unless your first name is Snooki.

    Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. After I posted, I did a Google search and found out about the ownership and name change w/ the Yesterday store.

    Never been in, but am familar w/ Toad Hall, and also Graham Cracker in Chicago.

    I thought Graham Cracker Comics was pretty much a defunct entity? I’m pretty sure the one just off Michigan Avenue in the Loop is owned by someone else now.

    EDIT: Oops, it would appear I was wrong. http://www.grahamcrackers.com

    Soooo, you are saying that law enforcement should abandon the enforcement of every other law until all the alleged terrorists are arrested? Everybody gets a pass until there’s officially no more terrorists in the US? :huh:

    Something tells me, Power Girl’s wouldn’t bounce quite that loosely. Though you head might if you tried it on her. 😉
