GRR.
those guys are disgraceful to the beautiful city of seattle's competitive gaming scene. i will be telling everyone i know in the journalism community not to ever use them for anything. i dont know if my reach extends very far (probably not :)) but if this TWL interview had turned out well, i was planning on asking them to help me with the css features in my competitive gaming column that's coming out in the next few months.
basically, i contacted them two weeks ago about an interview and they said yes. then, i never heard from them for a week, when the same dude that said yes asks me to send the questions again, and today i go to their forums to ask them what's up and clear up what i think is a minor misunderstanding and they are complete dickwads to me.
whatever, i am kind of pissed off because the only reason i asked them is that theyre from seattle, and i would have liked to give them coverage at the outlets i have available to me.
so, i recommend to anyone who's doing CSS interviews, do not ask seattle fight club - they are large idiots and completely unprofessional. what a pain in the ass, they agree to it, two weeks ago, agree to it again a week later, then when i ask them about it and tell them my story is going to be late, they tell me to fuck off and just deal with it, after two weeks of telling me yes?
grr. large idiots. unprofessionalism really gets under my skin. why didn't they just say no in the first place instead of wasting my time like that? i depended on them. now my deadline is in two days and i have nothing. im sure karma will work this out one way or another though.
i've never encountered such a rude team - most teams i contact are really helpful, professional, nice, and just happy to get the coverage - even the really good teams. one team even liked my article so much, they now hire me for freelance work on articles for their own website.
