I posted a few weeks ago (I tried to find this post and failed--clearly my entry tagging needs work) about Harlequin launching a self-publishing line...that they advertise to authors they reject. I was not the only one a little leery of this.

In fact, the RWA has taken Harlequin off their list of approved publishers. Holy fucking shit.

This week, the MWA (Mystery Writers of America--yes, Harlequin has a number of prominent mystery authors) also took Harlequin off their list of approved publishers. This means that, going forward, Harlequin authors will not be eligible for Edgar Awards.

Again, I say. Holy fucking shit.

Crazy times, man. Fandomwank actually had a decent roundup of the posts from around then.

Holy crap.

Someone's getting fired.
