[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of willful insanity at 19:28. Guys like the plagiarism was like removed what timeline performative white women are everywhere. [/quote]

19:28.  Please explain.  Are you really saying that it was totally reasonable for Dorland's lawyer to threaten suit for $180K if the story -- with the plagiarism taken out as previously agreed to by Dorland -- was published?  If I was friends with a writer barely selling stories and paying bills every year (I looked at Larson's list of published stories and the money she made from them -- it was less than $40K over some two or three years, including the $25K NEA grant), I would find a $180K bill pretty threatening.

Are you guys actually saying that Lawson cannot publish any version of The Kindest going forward?  No matter what language it contains?  I am not aware of any copyright law that would so hold, so this would be instructive.

I am a huge Dorland supporter.  I think the mean girl sh!t, even the misleading facts in the NYT article, and the Grub Street lawsuit that was ignored causing Dorland to resign from there are all instances where Dorland was done dirty.  I have been commenting in support of Dorland since about page 7 of this thread.  But I do think some folks in here are not seeing anything of the other side here, which is funny because that's how Lawson dehumanized her in "The Kindest."

Finally, my statement (that post was me, also) about The Kindest winning all sorts of awards now given the extreme number of interpretations that can be read into the story now was partly tongue in cheek.  I'm not saying it's an amazing story because Lawson intended it to be and used her writerly skills to make it so.  Who is truly "The Kindest" here now has so many interpretations in spite of the author and because of the author's blind spots about Dorland, imho. [/quote]
