*crawls under rock*

[rm]

So I wrote a random article for AC on Harry Potter podcasts, which was, of course, not completist, because I only listen to a few. Mostly it was a way to make a few $$.

Now it's linked on Leaky Cauldron.

I know I should think this is cool, but instead I am feeling all "ZOMG! Everyone hates me! Am afraid of fandom. Eek!" about it. And today I was going to write a wizard rock article.

*hides*

Got agreement and am reading through it now. Do they demand exclusive rights to your article? It seems like they do, and mostly I wouldn't have a problem with this except in cases where I may need to work from my past research when writing a new piece (I think I should give them some articles about Utah culture, for example).

You can sell stuff for exclusive or non-exclusive rights -- you decide on a case by case basis. I've done some of both for various reasons. Exclusive rights net you a few dollars more. Most of the crap I write for them is product reviews or acting advice or just really random crap that I'd do in much more detail and quality for someone else, such that the exclusive factor wouldn't matter.

Cool. That works for me. :D
