An online magazine requested a flash fiction story of mine and I was going to accept but then I looked at the rights and it gave me pause. Here's the way they have the rights on their website:

(The magazine) retains First Time Internet rights for all published works. All other rights revert to the author. In the event that we decide to further burden ourselves with the production of literary brilliance and expand to print, we will then retain First Time Print rights for all published works.

I wrote them saying basically if all rights revert to me after first time internet rights, how can you still retain first time print rights? And I said it was conditional on their deciding to go print or not.

I'm not that worried about it, but it just seems that everybody else's rights are clearly set out and this is so vague.

If nothing changes (with their repsonse to my email) think it'll be okay to just go with it the way they have it?

Thanks.
