Just saw a short fiction market that pays very little also demanding basically every publication right under the sun.

If I'm only expecting to get a pittance for a story, there is no way in hell I'm giving it to someone who can do whatever they want with it forever. That's nuts.

@shaunduke yeah, that’s crazy. Have to wonder if they thought that through or just grabbed language somewhere online.

@rmacanthony If they did, they got it from someone unethical. I don't see how you can reasonably argue that you should have basically all of the rights for no real compensation to the author. Especially when there's no royalty share on book sales and your rights grab will let you sell the story in every imaginable format forever...

@shaunduke certainly irresponsible business at best. Hopefully writers will beware of that market :/
