Latest MMO Hub article up.
Hopefully this gig continues. I have a slew of ideas and have already discussed with the editor several of them, but as a newer company there is some restructuring going on. Apparently the payment agreed upon several months ago, which is in my contract, isn't kosher with the new CFO, who just came on board in July. As a result, my editor is (supposedly) trying to convince him as to why Feature writers (like myself) deserve the rates we were getting paid for our articles, rather than things being farmed out to some content farm where they will write the articles for 5 dollars a pop.
Now, while I understand there is a varying degree of quality on this site (some of what people are getting paid to write kind of shocks me. I'm beginning to see why gaming journalism has such a bad reputation in the industry), I think it should very much be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
In any event, if I don't hear back from the editor what I want to hear (that my rates are gtg), then I'll be moving on and pitching ideas to another 'zine. This was the last article per my contract, so we just have to wait and see what we see.
