Show me the money!!!

You may remember this , when I was thrilled to have a story accepted for Writer's Forum magazine. My first published piece, my first step onto that first rung of the writing ladder, the slowly advancing hangover of reality when it became painfully clear that the bastards were going to rip me off by not paying me!

THREE times I've asked for the cheque now, and three times I've been fobbed off with vague excuses and meaningless promises that it will be "looked into". Latest is that I may have to contact the publisher directly myself to get it. WHY THE HELL SHOULD I?????? Your magazine published my piece, now pay me for it.

Writer's Forum ~ don't buy it! They treat their authors like crap.
