Ok, its a self-publishing archive. I get it. They call it “democratized publishing.” I get that. Even our President has a Scribd page with 100 friends. We can use it to embed documents into websites. Like that. Check!

Please do not say that this is the future of the book or I will totally lose it. Archive, fine, but some writing shouldn’t be “published.” Some of it sucks, ok? Most of it needs editing, alright? This is why we have blogs! And this isn’t really publishing, is it? This is a repository of stuff. Some of it is good and some of it…well, I’m no critic.
