The Washington City Paper has selected me to be one of the guest fringe reviewers for the Capital Fringe Festival this year. I get free tickets to shows and they are going to put my reviews on their website.
It would be "a good thing" if they were actually paying you for your work CC. Are they doing that? All I see is that you get free tickets, which is kind of essential to reviewing shows. . . and publication of your reviews. BTW Did your membership in a "fringe religion" influence their decision to uh *exploit* your services?
Shrug. I write here for free all the time and my policy has always been that if you send me a free book/game/etc I will review it as I did with the Laura Pederson trilogy a couple of years ago and the fundamentalist Christian video game last year. So yeah, it seems like a good thing to me and right in line with what I've done before.
I'm not sure how I can exploit my own services, or indeed, what you're talking about. I mean, I get that you're quoting Peter Morales, I just don't get your point.
I have the exact opposite attitude to Robin's -- I feel guilty about all the law-related books I've been sent by Henry Holt publishers on the premise that I would review them on De Novo, and I never did :-(
