SFWA contest=fraud

There's been some buzz about a writing contest supposedly sponsored by SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.). This contest is bogus, hence the buzz. SFWA says it "never runs writing contests of this sort". Read more about it.

I find this whole thing rather odd, don't you? The perp was asking for a $10 fee--how are they going to get rich with that? And how did said perp think they could get away with it?

There's a good story in here somewhere...

I dunno. Ten bucks a pop can add up, especially if there's no overhead . . .
