Not to Put to Fine a Point on it.

It bears repeating that submitting work to people I know and trust for no money is not the same thing to me as submitting to a non-paying market.  That's working with friends.  A dangerous thing, sometimes, if communication is lacking, but different.

Also, that charity work is charity work. 

Markets that do token payments are fine with me too.  They pay.  Not a lot, but then even the pros don't pay a lot.  There is no lot in fiction writing, unless you're Uncle Stevie. 

I'm always happy and grateful to work with the people I trust, even if the profits are paltry.  If I got into this gig for money, I'm a damned fool.
