This thread, which I will be done with in a post or two, is a rather cautionary tale for writers, collectors, folk of good faith.
While I understand the writer's anger, that is not my way.

In 2015, the DarkFuse modified its brand / website to DarkFuse Magazine.
The top honcho realized the previous error and separated the sundry Novella and Novel HC Clubs.
Another victory for the passive resistance!
I bought the novellas, but not bother with anything else.
Nevertheless, the online business, the “magazine” was going balls to the walls.
Tiny Terrors, Horror d'oeuvres, Cult of Kill were columns, weekly fiction, I dunno.
2016 was more or less the same, although more lines opened.
Serials, haiku (poetry, for real?) and Erotikos (think aroused zombies or sex farm puppets).
Me? I couldn’t care less. I really liked those little books and kept buying.
Online stories, ebooks, I viewed as a house of cards. Virtual bestsellers, not for me.
I had also become wary of any and all claims made by the top hand.
Now, all publishers warble about how dazzling the newest release, but DF seemed to take the hyperbole to cosmic levels.
The word “awesome!” would be mere understatement.
2017 was going to be the greatest year ever!
