John: I had a much touted conversation with Donald Maass where I asked him about blogs and MySpace and if he scouted people online, and he said no. Yes, I get that's not the same as asking him did he read online crime mags - but his reply gave some people the impression that agents were just too busy, too overwhelmed to pay attention to anything writer's post online, so Stuart's news provides a different perspective.

Thanks for posting this. It's good news for Stuart, of course, and also for online fiction. There's always been a feeling among some that it's giving away writing for free - something we shouldn't encourage. I seen free online fiction as samples of work.<br />
<br />
I just read the story. There's a character in it named Eddie Coyle. Nice hat tip to George Higgins.

I know agents look at these web-zines--I've pointed out stories I've published on Hardluck to agents in the past, and in some cases they've contacted the writers.

Dave, there's been some debate over whether or not agents are poking around the Internet paying attention to our chicken scratchings - this certainly shows that at least one agent is.<br />
<br />
And kudos to the ThugLit crew who helped put Stuart on the map.
