(Not least that you can't get an honest non-DRMed file out of it.)Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-28714363720905619012016-08-09T19:12:04.476-04:002016-08-09T19:12:04.476-04:00If you did this, I would buy it.

I would very much like to know what people would like to see in a publication.<br /><br /><i>Would you be including any stuff like Edith and Ben? IDK how that works with copyright...</i><br /><br />I'm pretty well convinced that under US law it's legal parody. The question of whether or not I'd survive acting on that conviction is another thing entirely.<br /><br />I'd probably be completely safe including, say, <a href="http://stealingcommas.blogspot.com/2012/02/snarky-twilight-post-nurse-parking-lot_09.html" rel="nofollow">this bit of Snarky Twilight</a>, but I'm not sure about <i>Edith and Ben</i>. Maybe if one section were just called, "Parody" and had one excerpt from each of my major things. Then the question is, of course, which excerpt?<br /><br />chris the cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872875475212333027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-9278057709171470702016-08-04T13:51:36.976-04:002016-08-04T13:51:36.976-04:00YES GOOD!!!
I don't know anything about self-...YES GOOD!!!<br /><br />I don't know anything about self-publishing, but certainly lots of folks do, like Ana... Alex? Froborr...<br /><br />I know some folks who do, tho more in the Black Speculative Fiction and/or Children's Lit markets/genres/whatever... <br /><br />It would be cool. I think there could be lots of options for different kinds of books w/ pictures or graphics or whatever. <br /><br />Have people done fanart of any of your stuff? Or you could commisssion a few small somethings... <br /><br />You could do some surveys of what people liked best, tho of course blog audience and book audience aren't the same... Would you be including any stuff like Edith and Ben? IDK how that works with copyright... <br /><br />Your original stuff is super amazing, plus also some stuff that could have more serial numbers filed off...
