There will be new associate editors hired, for sure, but I don't know if any of them are gay or will be canvasing the boards looking for gay news.

But, as I will still be writing for AVN Online on a freelance basis--and because it would be good for me in my job at Specialty to know what's going on in the gay industry, I imagine that I'll still be lurking around these parts from time to time.

What will happen to GayVN then?

What do you mean? I have nothing to do with GAYVN. I work exclusively for AVN Online. GAYVN isn't going anywhere.

GAYVN's ad guy, Jeff Rosenberg, might still come here and look at things if he has the time (or the patience). And I'll certainly inform the new editor, Harker, about the site, but I can't promise he'll have time to frequent it.

I guess i haven't followed your career close enough to notice. I mistakenly thought you were a major part of GayVN. Sorry if I offended you.

You didn't offend me at all. Did I sound cranky? Sorry, didn't mean to. That wasn't the tone in my head when I was typing that out at all. But with as many times as I've spoken only of AVN Online on here, you'd think people would have remembered after two years.

Anyway, there are four properties that we put out: AVN, GAYVN, AVN Online and ANB. Additionally, there is the mainstream publication IAB. They are five distinctly different publications, though sometimes stories are shared, but rarely. Each magazine has its own dedicated staff of writers and editors, though they tend to share sales reps. Does that help?

Hey Congrats on the move Ken! I hope it brings you much happiness! Specialty will be blessed to have you.

I was completely unaware that these were considered separate entities. :embarassed:

It seems to be a common misperception that AVN is a blanket term for all the other properties. Obviously, as you can see now, that's not the case. I'm actually employed by Teddy Communications, not AVN Inc. AVN Online is a Teddy property.

Glad you found an outlet for your wonderful writing style. You are SO VERY easy to read even in whiplash mode.

I enjoyed your writing, as an employee of AVN, many times defending the company from attacks from Lee. I did not see a reason why you defended the company that employed you, you not having the answers.

As you hinted, I would not be surprised of a program opened with you helping to steer it's way to success, with all of the contacts you have made.

I think you job move will release your creative talents. As what you wrote, with several associate editors suddenly moving on... I hope they are as lucky as you.

Thanx for the nice note.

As for defending AVN, that's a no-brainer. They are my employers. But I'd stand up for anyone who's being unfairly attacked in this industry, because the fact is that I care. Sometimes I care too much, which is something that people tend to take advantage of, but oh well... that's just how I am.
