I read the same article when it was first published, and all I could think of was about the number of wannabes who will go to such insane efforts to protect work that'll be forgotten a week after they're dead, if it ever got published in the first place. Me, I'm taking the sane way out: I'm selling my entire archive of published work on eBay while I'm still alive to appreciate the funds. ALmost all of those magazines are long-dead, and while I get lots of people who whine "Oh, but I'd <i>pay</i> for a collection of your work," I know perfectly well that maybe only about ten people would actually ante up any money to do so. It's either that or a bonfire to get rid of it: either way, my writing days brought me nothing but pain, and I'm glad to be away from them. You know what’s funny?
