Ardin was very nice, understanding, and willing to compromise. This is a very small operation, with just him at the helm, so I'm sure he's working overtime trying to wrangle all these writers. My only caution would be to look closely at the contract you have to sign to begin writing. You have to sign away your rights to anything you create. Essentially, all written work will belong to the company. You're not allowed to say that it's your work publicly, or to anyone in the writing world. There is a clause allowing disclosure in places like job interviews, but that's basically it. If the company ends up publishing the work, it will be under a pseudonym. I was quite weary of these terms and didn't end up signing. I instead negotiated for an editing position, where I reviewed the stories that came in. I enjoyed it very much. I once again want to stress that this is a very small business, and I understand that story rights can be complex. Ghostwriting for a sum and not a percentage might be a great deal for you! Just take the time to read the contract and understand what you're getting in to.
