Mudd is compiling, so Open Office is not reading .rtf files. fuckses.

Writing money thoughts
Dark Roast pays quarterly.
Phaze pays 45 days after the end of each monthly reporting period, for checks of $25 or more.
So, royalty schedule:
Jan, April, July, Oct:
15th, Torquere, Phaze (with affiliates!)
EC, check cuts around the 25
30th Dark Roast
Feb, Mar, May, June, Aug, Sept, Nov, Dec:
15th, Phaze (if over $25)
EC, check cuts around 25th.

Your disquieting thoughts for the day
Jul. 26th, 2008 11:27 amRe: Fandom. Let the Elitist Bitch Vidding Cabal stake out their corner of the sandbox and announce it is The Only True Way to Be Fannish and They Alone are the True Keepers of Fannish History. Long-held grudge-wank isn't worth the bother of embroiling oneself. Nothing dies on the net. This will not only bite them in time, it will be archived.
Also? When an article has been up for a FUCKING YEAR it's not even outing anymore. It's just an excuse.
Re: Royalties
I wonder sometimes how much to trust my royalty statements.
From Fictionwise:
Best Sellers for Angelia Sparrow
Based on data gathered within the last 14 days. Icon explanations
1. Short [12418 words]Toy Box: Sounds by Mychael Black & Naomi Brooks & Angelia Sparrow [Erotica/Romance]
2. Short [11857 words]Color of Magic and Color of Money by Angelia Sparrow & Naomi Brooks [Erotica/Romance]
3. Short [10357 words]Pushing the Boundaries of Reality by Angelia Sparrow [Erotica/Romance]
HOW THE HELL CAN #3 BE A BEST SELLER WHEN IT HASN"T SOLD ANY COPIES? At least according to my Phaze statements...
Now, I know it's not in a publisher's interest to screw over the authors. Anyone who manages people knows not to mess with their pay or their time-off if they want to KEEP people.
But still.
Re:Bonus
How on earth can I get paid $955 (250 bonus) and only see 614, which works out 154 extra? Oh yeah. Taxes. Taxes that don't get me health care or retirement or anything that taxes pay for in civilized countries, but instead goes to concentration camps, mercenaries and a disastrous foreign war.
There is no fourth point. I'm just going to go hide out in 1923 for a while.
