Wicked Pretty Update #2

Mar 31, 2011 23:14

I'm going to go ahead and post this, because I need a datestamp on it that isn't "April 1st." However, I am also exhausted, so this is going to be short.

( Catch up on the situation.)

There is, in fact, a formal apology from Trisha Telep (see ETA). The weird thing is that it was buried in the comments of Jessica Verday's blog on 3/25, and no one ( Read more... )

down with this sort of thing, publishing, appropriate responses to bad situations, books, shenanigans

That is a much better apology.

It IS a much better apology....and it still doesn't explain why RunningPress is standing behind Telep. They are very much of the "have the cake and eat it too" mindset.

On the other hand...how about those Breaking Dawn sex pictures? My fiance nearly threw up in horror.

I can always count on Cleo to bring me the real goods.

I haven't seen all of them, but I loled pretty hard.

I concur, with the apology, and appreciating all the info Cleo throws our way on everything.

Re: pictures..... uh, they've released more teasers than just the hand/feathers one? o.o

There were some breaking headboard pics too, apparently. No idea how they're gonna keep this PG-13

If you didn't catch it, seanan_mcguire also dropped out of Wicked Pretty Things. Her post about it is here:

Yeah, I mentioned that on the previous entry.

Well, at least she apologized, I guess. It's a textbook non-apology, though, especially in the first sentence: "I sincerely regret the sequence of events which has led to..." Mistakes have been made!

Jackson Pearce seems to have disappeared from the GoodReads listing for WPT, and the link to buy WPT has disappeared from her own website, but I haven't seen any formal mention of her pulling out. Looks odd though.

And unfortunately in these situations, a carefully worded apology after a non-apology and then a shitstorm never seems as sincere as it would have if it were the very first thing the offender had responded with. You only get one chance to make your impression, I guess.

I was wondering whether she was going to stay in it or not.
