WTF has happened to all the comments on "shared work"??????????????????

by Wilhelmina Lyre
7th September 2015

It MIGHT be just my computer, but strange things seem to be going on. ALL the comments have disappeared from ALL the "shared works" except for the last one. I happen to know that SOME of the writers of those "shared works" haven't read the latest comments posted.

Has a former worker at Bloomsbury - who had the password to the administration of this site and was fired - decided to take revenge by deleting all this material? Are they now reading this and laughing? There's no need to take out your bad feeling on us writers! WE didn't fire you.

Or has a hacker from another publisher decided to throw a spanner into the works here?

There was a lot of good advice on there (as well as some bad), just vanished into thin air (hopefully not forever).

As I wrote, this might just be a technical problem with my computer. Is anybody/everybody else having the same problem?

Apparently, there WERE some deletions, because this is the first USER-generated Q&A that I can find, and it's numbered 19! === https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/question/view/19
