I have bad news and if you know anyone who has read my stuff on Nifty, please spread the world to them. I will no longer be posting any of my writings there. The rest of A Fairy Tale in Flight will be found ONLY on my Insanejournal. I have requested the Nifty Archivist to remove AFTS but he refuses saying I am not allowed to take it down without replacing it or paying him money. I will consult a lawyer to see if this is legal and if it I will pay him and have it removed. From this point onward, I will have no further dealings with Nifty, as this kinda shit cans any plans to get it published if he refuses to remove it.

His letter:

"I am sorry, but Nifty does not do that. Nifty is not a temporary exhibition space. We cannot allow publishers to cherry-pick the best stories from Nifty.

If you want the story to be removed from display, you need to replace it with a similar story of equal quality or make a monetary donation to Nifty to allow Nifty to encourage and help other authors.

Thanks, Nifty"



Personally I think this blows and is way beyond the pale. How can you encourage other authors when you are holding their stuff for ransom? I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach here. I will have NO further dealings with Nifty EVER again!

Worse case scenario, I'll have to rewrite the first two books and that will take up a LOT of time and delay any further updates by quite a bit. I apologize in advance.
