In-laws are frustrating
Okay, so my husband got himself a website to promote a few things, his books, music, etc. He is making a section for anyone who wants to contribute to the site, namely people who write books and stories. Stories will be publish in an e-zine my husband will be adding to the site sometime in the next few months, and books will be published as e-books for people to down-load once he gets that section set up in several months. I think he said the books would cost 5$ per book, I'm not sure if he is charging for the e-zine, or how much it will be. Writers will get 1$ per book, which if you look over publishing companies, and what they are willing to pay a writer, that is a good amount to get paid. My husband has to okay the books before they are added to the site.
He has a section for his brother right now, and says he will set up one for me, as I write, and have one story publish with an e-zine, albeit that was several years ago. He's wanting to add some of my books to the site after they have been copyrighted. His brother has decided that he should be a part in deciding how the site will be set up, and this is irritating my husband to no end, since he is the one paying for the site and doing all the work to get it set up (he has stayed up until four in the morning the past three days setting this up) His brother has his own section to put what he wants, and to me this should be enough for him since he is putting nothing into the site, like money or time helping set it up. Also, Jess and his brother agree on very little, so he does not agree with some of the things James is wanting to do. Also, there has already been an arguement over what stories are going in the e-zine. Jess wants fantasy, horror, sci-fi and romance, and James is dead set against romance. Second, I have a story Jess wants in the magazine that fits under the catagory of fantasy, and James is throwing a fit about my getting to write the first fantasy, since that is supposed to be his section. James decided that I get to do the sci-fi section (I am the only one who did not get to pick what section of the e-zine I was in charge of) because if I got fantasy, I would pick out nothing but crap where there were fantastical creatures that could talk. This angered my husband, and he told James that all decisions on what went in the e-zine went through him, so if James picked a lot of the crap he likes, fantasy without any fantasicla things happening in it, he would not okay them.
If Wolfgang is reading this, the first fantasy story in the e-zine my husbsand is hoping to start publishing in the next few months is going to be Ghost of a Rose. I talked it over with my husband, and he has agreed, without argument, to leave the In Memory of Julia part.
