Are you a member of Associated Content. i joined but I havent added any writing yet. I was just reading the contract and it says when you write you give associated content the rights to your work you can have an exclusive or non exclusive rights for your work but what does this mean does associated content change what youve written and sell it on and then others can claim your work as their own. what about the short stories Does anyone understand how it works? Are you writing for them at the moment? Please tell me or give me pointers as i dont understand I dont think i want to write for them if i give them all the rights of everything i do...how do you feel about this do you think they make it clear?

To be honest- i was disapointed. I joined Clobal content, because they work with international members. And i am mad! They refuse and refuse and refuse...This upsets me:-(I am 100% in harmony with their f*cking guideliness and they again refuse:-(
I think that there is a catch or somewhat as a discrimination for non-Americans. And i am discouraged to write more.Even it was so promising in the beggining...

I too joined recently, but yet to get the details content to be posted to their site. I got no idea of what kind of content and How it is going to be.
