Less Than Magic

[_ocelott_]

You may perhaps have heard about RWA, the Romance Writers' Association. It's an organization that brings writers in contact with other like-minded writers and is well known to help give authors just starting out a boost, through contests, feedback, and the interactions with more established writers. They're not strictly romance authors; as long

I've posted this to my facebook and I've sent an email expressing my extreme dismay. This kind of crap makes me crazy! I don't understand the mentality of "its okay to rape the heroine into oblivion, but no gay cooties, please." It's just beyond me that people still get upset over same-sex relationships. It's love, people. Love is awesome, regardless of gender. Just be happy somebody found another person who loves them.

And they seriously can't find someone who would want to read a same sex relationship? My BS detector just flipped the heck out.

update. it worked.

RWI Magic Contests

After much consideration, RWI regretfully announces the MTM Published Author Contest has been cancelled. All monies and books received from entrants will be returned as soon as possible. We have heard and understood the issues raised, and will take those concerns into consideration should the chapter elect to hold contests in the future. Please note: our contest coordinator, Jackie, is a chapter member who graciously volunteered to collect entries and sort by category. It is unfortunate that she has become the object of personal ridicule and abuse. We recognize the decision to disallow same-sex entries is highly charged. We also opted not to accept YA entries. We do not condone discrimination against individuals of any sort.
