It's the price you pay (like Tolkien, in fact) for being one of the first in your field. The stuff gets into the common consciousness. Flattery in one way.
I know we were speaking of David Gemmell in one of these threads. I just noticed his latest novel is (wait for it, wait for it) The Hawk Eternal. Now there's someone who HAS to be consciously recycling my various titles. I feel towards him the way I feel towards someone you find pinching your stuff who nods and grins and just goes right on putting your cash in his pocket. Jaw dropping! It's hard to describe the kind of contempt I feel for such people. Warhammer, however, are the ace rippers off of all time. A commercial outfit who have exploited the work of many writers. You could probably find other threads here which go into details regarding the authors they've directly ripped off.Warhammer have also been bad about paying some of these authors, according to the ones I've known. So they are ripping everyone off at every opportunity, it appears. This is an example of Pratchett's Law where people are taking everything out of the big pot and apparently putting absolutely nothing back in. Stew thieves. Nothing worse in this neck of the woods.
