If these people are actually "employees" of FanLib, they seriously need to go to charm school...or at least figure out who they're talking to. Most fanfic writers are not teeny-booper fanbrats, so stop talking to us like we are.

Oh man, YES! The people who allegedly work for FanLib commenting here and there have made such asses of themselves -- yes, these are NOT the people you want to give the rights of your work to.

What's weird is checking out their archive -- because I did look, after seeing some of the metafandom-linked posts -- and seeing, yes, a few names I recognized. I'm incredibly curious (and somewhat aghast) that anyone has taken them up on their offer, considering what a crappy position it puts the writers in, and what sort of endeavor (read=money-grubbing, poorly-planned, and hopelessly-doomed) they're getting involved in.

Also highly troubling is how much it's come out how dominated by men FanLib's organization is -- and how easy they thought it would be to walk into the "Girls'" party and just pick off all our good stuff without us raising so much as a peep.
