They are very clear about why they choose anonymity. They seem sincere and well-intentioned and I'm fine with it. I can only imagine the trials and stresses of being an editor, and maybe I'd feel differently if I was one, but I honestly don't think so. There's just so much else, other more worthwhile issues, to get angry and vocal about. I don't know. I'm just sad that kind of exchange can get published in a Mag I like and respect. Sad too that it was ever submitted for publication.Ethel Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332550869543076891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812822327612486525.post-64407787454600947932009-11-02T12:45:44.904-08:002009-11-02T12:45:44.904-08:00Thanks, Ethel, for mentioning Twelve Stories -- it...Thanks, Ethel, for mentioning Twelve Stories -- it's a great issue. I really hope word gets out. <br /><br />I also read the IM chat. Not sure what to make of it. Just wondering, though: why choose to be an anonymous editor? Is the idea to create some kind of mystery, intrigue, etc.?Andrew Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587923563922700199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812822327612486525.post-34294446295940588142009-11-01T18:12:45.063-08:002009-11-01T18:12:45.063-08:00Great links, Ethel - I enjoyed the stories and eve...Great links, Ethel - I enjoyed the stories and even checked out the IM chat. I found it to be in poor taste and I'm surprised it was published. Maybe the writers thought it was funny in a way ...Saturday Night Live skit sort of funny - I don't know, but if so - the humor didn't translate well. What would be hysterical - is if Ellen and PH are the editors behind Kill Author and they are making fun of themselves...now that would be a hoot. :) I doubt that's the case.Paula Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315919140323364702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812822327612486525.post-91033965699714051542009-11-01T17:47:59.779-08:002009-11-01T17:47:59.779-08:00Roxane, I did wonder what you thought, especially ...Roxane, I did wonder what you thought, especially given that you're mentioned in the exchange.

I'm surprised Madore and Ellen Parker decided to continue to... share this IM chat beyond the blog. I think Ellen Parker is outstanding so I was a bit surprised by the tone of the chat but we all express our frustrations in different ways. I remain one of those people who doesn't mind editorial anonymity. I would have liked to see them express their thoughts in a more... collected manner but I do (theoretically) understand why some people get riled up about editorial anonymity.R.
