Hail Caesar

"It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking."

On seeing the Hail Caesar article linked under the Motivations heading on this Creative Commons page, I thought I'd go ahead and share the article out from my blog.

1. Write story
2. Get said story published

I believe short fiction is important. The small press magazine I edit (Fantastique Unfettered, aka FU) uses a Creative Commons license, CC-BY-SA, for reasons related to this view, and in service to the dual end-goals of money and karma on behalf of the writers we publish.

Our alignment is not indie against corporate, small against large, or fan against pro. Those are foolish stances. Our alignment is one against obscurity [1], expressed via a pragmatism that acknowledges money may or may not follow our good karma. We certainly hope it does: our goal, after providing quality fiction to our readers, is to pay writers professional rates.

And note, you can share the same article anywhere you want, just give attribution back to me (very easy and outlined at the end of the article: If you can cut and paste, add a link, you are good to go.)
