In a follow-up to last week's fun and screams about the SFWA, John Scalzi reports that all the outrage has caused the organization to correct the copyright committee problem. I'm sure some people will say this shows how responsive the SFWA is to criticism, but it doesn't change my view that I'm not going to waste my time by joining. While I support all the official goals of the organization, I can't get past the fact that incidents like this haven't been the exception in recent years for the SFWA but are instead the norm. Maybe they ought to rename themselves the Screaming Flaming Writers Association? Still, I'm glad they've sorted all this out and I hope it means the organization has turned a new page in its history.
