More Interesting Doings at Light Sword Publishing/LSPDigital
Now, this is funny!
The brain trust over at LSPDigital has decided that former authors who have come forward with information about this albatross are apparently unworthy of visiting the LSP web pages. Seems they tend to view the pages and then turn what they learn there over to outsiders--like those pesky damn lawyers and court officers and such. Anyway, I just heard from one of those people who tells me that they got a 'forbidden' browser message when they attempt to access LSP pages, several days ago, and have not been able to get on the site since.
I've contacted a couple of other 'formers' in this regard, too. Same thing. Their permissions to visit those pages have been withdrawn, too. Frankly, being or not being able to visit the web pages of a publishing house so insignificant as to not even cause a blip on the radar is keeping these people up nights! Pffffttttt!!!!!
Apparently, the good folk over at LSP have no understanding that people often use more than one ISP, more than one browser, and have access to more than one computer, too. So, no secrets are being kept, LSP-folk! Your first clue that the authors no longer contracted to you are bright people should have been the fact that they got out! Rest assured, they are all looking at Light Sword Publishing pages every day. If they even care to, that is.
As for me, this is a bit like watching a soap opera--working title: 'The Dumb and the Listless'.
Oh, and there's more: The AOL writers' rumor-mill is circulating the GOOD NEWS that Linda Daly and one of her NEW business officers are going to be starting a NEW venture---no, not LSPDigital, but another company, with yet another name. They've even solicited AOL authors to come on board as editors, art directors--same old tired crap. This has come to me from enough sources now that I'm not worried about burning anybody. Why, it's the talk of the town!
Now, I'm no mouse on the wall, but my guess is that in order to fill any of these LUCRATIVE AND RESUME-WORTHY POSITIONS, these folks may well be asked to fork over some of the ready. Only once they're hooked, though. It's ironic, isn't it, that this rumor began circulating and then permissions were withdrawn regarding the website. Like I said, I'm no mouse on the wall, but it's my guess that NEW PAGES WITH A NEW NAME AND NEW GAME will be appearing at
www.lightswordpublishing.com sometime soon.
Tune in tomorrow for another exciting installment of, 'The Dung and the Wretches'.
