In Television Studies, edited by Toby Miller (London: BFI Publishing, 2002), Professor Alan McKee discusses Slayage (p. 69) in the context of an examination of BtVS fandom. His account contains several errors of fact:

• McKee refers to the Parks and Levine book (Red Noise) as having been published in 2002. In fact, it has yet to be published. (Note: Slayage for some time reported it as forthcoming in 2002, but that information was long ago updated.)
• Slayage is described there as produced by Buffy's "fan community." In fact its editor and most of its board (Lavery, Wilcox, Kryzwinska, Erickson, Parks, Levine, South, Rambo) are primarily academics. Other members of the board (Kaveney, Keller, Mendlesohn) are professional writers and/or editors. McKee does acknowledge that our board is comprised of "accredited academics," but he contrasts Slayage to Intensities, classifying the former as "simultaneously a fanpage . . . and an online academic journal" and the latter as simply an online academic journal." We at Slayage fully acknowledge that we are fans, but we fail to grasp the accuracy of McKee's distinction.
• Slayage, we are told, publishes "fan art of variable quality." In fact we have never sought or published fan art, though we did use a couple of drawings early on as decoration.
• McKee suggests (though in the equivocal form of a question) that Slayage pays selected contributors:

In particular, for television researchers interested in social equity, an interesting question might be: why do some fans get paid to employ their expertise and write articles about Buffy [sic] for Slayage, while other fans do not.

No contributor to the eight issues of Slayage published to date (May 2003) has been paid. Indeed, until the establishment this month of Slayage as an Amazon.com Partner, its modest expenses have been entirely born by David Lavery and Rhonda Wilcox, who could not have paid any author even if they wanted to. The suggestion that we are somehow discriminating against selected contributors is preposterous and completely without substantiation.

Note: in an e-mail on 5/13/03 Prof. McKee offers a clarification. The payments referred  to are the salaries academic contributors receive from their respective colleges or universities.
