Seriously, reading through the whole thing now, it’s like…are you serious She Unlimited? I wonder if they’re still in business…well I don’t even want to give them a google count!

I’m dreading taking my Media Law and Ethics class, but after reading this, it sounds like I’m gonna need to know my stuff if I want to pursue my writing career!

I’d just like to show my (belated) support. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience, which I hope is totally behind you now. You stood up for yourself and that is a great example for all of us.

Shannon, I made a big mistake. First of all, I though Collen wrote the entry when you authored it. Secondly, I misread “She Unlimited” as “She Uemura”. A thousand pardons. From now on, I’ll wear my glasses when I read the blog. Once again, I apologize for my errors.

Wow, what odd behaviour! I’m really glad to hear that b5 and Pierce Mattie both stuck by you.

And good luck with the bub!

As you know Shannon, I’ve had my own scuffles with people who think they can bully the “little guy” around. Boo on them and here’s to powerful women who don’t take it!

It’s always the ones that 1. make the mistake, 2. realize they’ve been ‘caught’, 3. try to get the ‘negative’ erased, any means they can. And in that order.

I actually subscribed and started reading their blog when you started writing for them Shannon, and then pretty much unsubscribed when their posts turned into a very old magazine, old school style of writing. Boring, long posts that actually turned me off. I immediately unsubscribed. It just wasn’t worth reading it. Maybe they should focus on other things, like how to gain readership, and make their blog more interesting, rather than threatening when things don’t go right.

I’m glad you listened to your instincts Shannon. I hope other writers realize that it’s never worth it to write for someone that treats their writers like this.
