UPDATES
Anyone can start a worthless flame war online and it happens hundreds of times a day, every day. But this issue is different due to the authors involved, their shared experiences with a specific publisher, and the track record we're seeing. As I have no direct experience in this matter, this page is an aggregate of blogs and news from established writers and those who have had direct experience.
BACK STORY
I first read about this from "Friends" on Facebook.
What got my attention was not that this story was coming off a single disgruntled writer, but that two distinct writers, seemingly independent of each other, were writing about having the same problems stemming from the same publisher of the same anthology that was just released.
Worse than the corrections of these author's work actually being incorrect, the corrections weren't consistent (the title of one story changed from the index to the actual page where the story began and both were poor spelling or grammar).

QUICK BITES
'Terminator' actor Nick Stahl missing, wife says
The actor who played John Connor in "Terminator 3," Nick Stahl (DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, SIN CITY, TERMINATOR 3), is missing according to his wife.
Law enforcement officials confirmed to TMZ that Stahl's wife filed a missing person's report with the L.A.P.D. on Monday saying she last saw the 32-year-old actor on May 9.
Continued at FoxNews.
(FeoNote: Nick's latest movie, THE UNKNOWN SON, currently in preproduction, is a Nazi conspiracy mystery featuring Nick as Noah Prentice. Noah is a man trying to find answers to his mysterious past.
So I'm hoping for a "best case" scenario where Nick is researching a role)

Secrets of Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus': An Earthquake, Never-Seen Photos and Nightmarish Monster
For Ridley Scott, a revered helmer who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, his upcoming film Prometheus would add to a significant body of work that includes Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise — and give him his first mega-blockbuster since 2000's Gladiator. Scott's new movie has gone from being a prequel to Alien to a self-contained story starring Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace. It only makes passing reference to its 1979 inspiration and pays heavy tribute to author Erich von Daniken's ideas in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods? — which argued that we are not alone and another sentient entity may have spawned us.

(FeoNote: A debunked old anti-science racist like Erich von Daniken? Oh shit. Well this is the first whopping big potential problem with PROMETHEUS.)
