Yeah

I've had this same discussion with a fanfic writer, who only publish in paper zines because she just doesn't want her work digitalised. I felt as baffled as some people in this thread, because how can you not embrace the possibilities in the new?

But some people see it as a threat or disadvantage or they are simply just not interested because they don't feel it offers them anything. While I personally think it's a shame, those people do have as much right to their opinion as we do.
