There is a huge thread on this over at RPGnet with some interesting views on the topic.
In my opinion, John Scalzi doesn't seem to understand 1) the game market or 2) that this not a print magazine anymore and 3) is a ezine targeted at a specific group within the gamer audience.
It sounds as though those guidelines have been removed as of yesterday however, so it may be a moot point. Rumor has it that there will be no more fiction in the Dragon ezine. A small, but vocal group of D&D gamers complained very loudly about fiction polluting their game content.
