"OMG YOU MEEANIES!" When Pros Turn Wanky
Found this on fanthropology.

RoC gave away excerpts from Touched By Venom, by Jeanine Cross at this year's World Fantasy Conference WFC is primarily a conference for professional fantasy writers and editors. Writers, editors and reviews read it,find it hideous, and spawn impromptu readings a la Eye of Argon for the rest of the convention. Cheryl Morgan mentions this in her blog, and Ballantine/DelRay's Assistant Publicity Director Colleen Lindsay responds. She says there's no mention of "venom cock" in the book, and that WFC is just a little con full of nobodies.

A reviewer, John Joseph Adams, proves Colleen wrong. Meanwhile, other people point out WFC had 900 people, and is mostly a professional conference.

Colleen's response? Anything under 10,000 is a little con and a little con-goer sneered at my publisher, so we hates them, my precious, we hates them forever!
