People don't know what words mean. And, to be fair, the whole "stable" thing has bothered me for years and I'd cringe every. time. I. heard. it. However, I have never heard it so frequently as I have during the last few weeks, so I kinda...snapped, there. But I'm fine, now. Just -- no more stables.

I remembering a question I saw. . .somewhere. . .where a reader was wondering about an author who has two series, one with Publisher A, and one with Publisher B. And the fan was wondering why on earth Publisher A had "permitted" the author to sell the second series to Publisher B.

So. . .some people apparently aren't too clear on how publishing works, either.
