News has gotten out to the publishing world about Ark Press and its poaching of high-quality talent from Baen Books, causing a reaction from several Baen employees and authors, including Larry Correia, who says he’ll “add to the freak out” with a new announcement of going fully independent with future book series.
The reaction of Corriera and others hostile to Fandom Pulse reminds me of Nintendo when those running the company are unable to maintain narrative control. Fandom Pulse is one of the few media outlets that provides any positive things to say and recommendations to read Baen Books. Weird and unproductive on their part. May Baen see continued success regardless.
It seems that some authors, good as they may be, can do a great job of muddying the waters, rather than being clear and concise (ironic, unless they're paid by the word.)
I got the impression that Larry Correia had a bit of an ego, but this really cements that he does. It's unnecessary drama. Cooler heads could prevail if we weren't at the mercy of wildly off-the-wall weirdness.
I hope Larry does well. I just wish he'd stop that head of his from growing beyond his shoulders. :) Ego will crush you eventually. And one will have only himself to blame for that. Good writer... stupidly strange person. (I guess that goes with the territory sometimes.)
*shrug* It's like high school all over again with some of these people. :)
There's an awful lot of straw men in those rebuttals, aren't there? Well, if Baen really is in trouble, time will tell. Arktoons was reporting here on substack that IDW is circling the drain, too. Again, time will tell if they can pull out of it.
It's a comedy at this point how Jon's mere association causes the vapours. Even if you accepted his relentless and very effective shilling as annoying, it wouldn't warrant this kind of response.
What is even the point?
As things stand, this kind of backbiting isn't even going to effect his bottom line now!
Even people who feel repulsed by Christians as a vampire does garlic are using fandompulse in their videos and admitting its quality of reporting!
Jon Derangement Syndrome is clearly a terrible disease, we can only hope for a future cure and for nobody to utterly self-immolate over him.

I'd be happy to interview him and have him on my live stream to talk his new projects!
Excellent news!
Larry is an egotistical paranoid wildcard that is prone to lash out rather than listen to any query or criticism.
We're not even criticising him. We wish him the best and millions of sales with his new venture.
Just petty school yard drama from people who should know better. Larry comes off as deeply insecure.

The pettiness against Jon tars them as unserious people.
