When serving as vice president of the Science Fiction Writers of America two years ago, author Howard Hendrix, in a blog, dubbed these authors "webscabs" who are turning the role of writer into a "pixel-stained Technopeasant wretch." (Hendrix later admitted, in a "debate" with Sigler in Sept. 2007 in San Franciscio, that his comments were "incendiary," but also said, "In the long run, what you may end up with is a vast digital slush pile" and "a mass of novels written...
