Blogosphere revolts!

There is a power inherent in the internet, and that is that people have the power to communicate, and thus to make things happen, with a short number of key strokes. Thanks to to folks at Making Light, and also to the ineffable Miss Snark, I have become aware of the case of Barbara Bauer and the ceassation of the site Absolute Write which was one of the predominant web-based resourses for new writers. As a new writer, I take offense to this. As a young person growing up in contemporary society, I like to believe that censorship does not occur, or at the very least it shouldn't. The following is a link to the SFWA page that lists the 20 worst literary agents, of which Ms Bauer is reporedly one.

It has become the goal of the writing blogosphere to make the BB case known to the world, to try to have AW restored. Here's to the power of the internet. Here's to people taking a stand.
