Bulletin Board Blab 9.13.06

The most-discussed topics on the board today…
I wrote three short stories. Now, where do I have them published?
A friend and I run a small (very small!) gossipy blog and we posted a photo found from google or somewhere. We’ve just received a threatening email from the photo rights owners. Obviously we removed the photo straight away, but they are still saying we have to pay a $500 misuse fee. What are our rights if any?
I feel used after turning in a writing assignment as part of a job interview. And, is it possible the company is going to use my clip without me?
The ongoing featured topic: Say you’re an editor applying for a new job and your hirer wants to see examples of your work. How do you present physical proof of your editing prowess?
The the dream company gives you a not-so dream job
