My editor described the similarities between your story and this one as "a damned site from coincidental".
We cant be burning bridges with this guy dawg. In 2 months I put my down payment on the cabin in Livingston, which btw this guy paid for in the last year, so please please please take some time off and come up with some new material, or dont, but for the love of Moses dont ever make me take a phone call like that again.
you could have handled this in a pm bro. no reason to drag blake's name through the mud, especially since you're hardly above reproach in that department. i swear half the time you just use us as a testbed to see what you can get away with before you start getting calls like that.
Honestly because this isnt the first time Ive had to take an angry call over the issue and Im sorry if Im emotional over it but Ive BEGGED privately for people to not put me in this position and it just wasnt enough.
And you can sit there and say oh such and such submission of mine reminded you of this or that or was evocative of this that or the other the fact is that NONE of my pieces have been rejected by this editor for plagiarism.
With the exception of that bullshit with Painkiller Jane back in like 2007, my shit basically does not stink. I have a well maintained reputation in this industry and Id like people to care, if not for my sake, for their own about not burning bridges in a tight knit community.
