Even via self-publishing, like the modern Createspace-Kindle "free" package, you need to know your selected lengths to know where to pitch your story info. So, say for example you went for three $3 e-book-only 20-25k novellas and then produced a single volume 70k compliation at around the $13.50 mark, that would mean having three "info intros" sufficiently different that it wouldn't feel like a repeat in the collected work.

I haven't really decided which format to distribute it in. Or what series of formats, if the first choices fail.

He does make an interesting punching bag, though, because while in some ways he is so much more than Visionary, in all the important ways he is so much less.

Quote:

And he had never had to cope with the Juniors until now.

I'm not sure "cope" is the right word for that.

Quote:

The plan appaers to be to gather every unresolved plotline ever left dangling and club the cast to death with them.

You forgot that one.

  - But .. but, I've just traveled over 2000 km's to get back home to devote more time to read and reply! · Al B. Harper is a nothing if not a hardcore fan · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 05:16:48 pm EST
    - 2000 km's? That's over three miles, isn't it? · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 03:02:46 pm EST
      - Pfft, it's a lot more than that! Luckily there was a plane involved. · Al B. Harper · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:21:35 pm EST
        
        That does save a lot of arm-flapping. · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:42:57 pm EST
        
        I prefer to sit cross-legged and levitate when no planes are involved. Arm-flapping is so passe. · Al B. Harper · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:48:29 pm EST
        
        Levitation is so 70s though. · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:58:32 pm EST
        
        It's now retro cool then. · Al B. Harper · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 12:20:35 am EST

        Uh no. More like Dr Strange levitating down the street retro cool. · Al B. Harper · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 07:16:58 am EST
        
        That is retro cool. · HH · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 02:45:18 pm EST

- It's all happening now. · Al B. Harper · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 12:20:30 am EST
  - If only it was, but some of it seems to want to happen in additional chapters · HH · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 09:56:32 am EST
    - I'm all for it! [Spoilers] · Al B. Harper · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 05:07:41 pm EST
      - So I gather. [Spoilers] · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 02:43:33 pm EST
        
        Am I that blunt? [Spoilers] · Al B. Harper · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:09:38 pm EST
        
        Your views were presented. [Spoilers] · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 07:49:34 pm EST
        
        Then I had my moment. [Spoilers] · Al B. Harper · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 01:19:42 am EST
        
        And what a moment it was. [Spoilers] · HH · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 05:42:08 pm EST
        
        My best work in the last year. [Spoilers] · Al B. Harper will aim to improve this year · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 07:24:38 pm EST
- That subplot WAS unexpected! · killer shrike · Thu Dec 29, 2016 at 10:20:39 pm EST
  - It was one I intended to use circa 2000 but by then the poster had vanished so I shifted to other emphases. · HH · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 09:57:58 am EST
- Daddy? Just how bad is that fever you've been having? · Rhiannon · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 07:50:26 pm EST
  - I just wrote a Banjooooo-centric chapter of this story. Does that answer your question? · HH · Thu Dec 29, 2016 at 10:42:16 am EST
- Quite a few surprise guest stars in this one. [Spoilers] · killer shrike · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 05:16:49 pm EST

- One does wonder at the amount of nudity required for both Science and Art to progress. · Visionary · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 09:50:21 am EST
  - Well, ever since it helped that fellow in the bath it has become quite fashionable. · HH · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 03:01:11 pm EST
    - A tub does promote good thinking time... · Visionary · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 12:37:27 pm EST
      - I may resort to it now · HH currently has a cold that has reduced his IQ by at least 50% · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 02:50:48 pm EST
        
        Try to get that nice Amnesia woman to join you. · Visionary · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 08:27:18 am EST
        
        That would probably kill me. · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 03:40:25 pm EST
- I was the one who came up with that joke! · Anime Jason · Tue Dec 27, 2016 at 01:43:53 pm EST
  - It's not a proper PV joke until it's been flogged to death · HH · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 04:01:20 am EST
    - So not quite yet, then. · Anime Jason · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 11:28:26 am EST
      - Give it time · HH · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 02:53:27 pm EST
        
        Still not yet. · Anime Jason · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 11:15:00 pm EST
        
        But soon. · HH · Thu Dec 29, 2016 at 10:45:40 am EST
        
        Nope. Not yet. · Anime Jason · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 02:02:50 am EST
        
        Soon is relative · HH · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 10:03:56 am EST
        
        I don't know, some relatives... · Anime Jason · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 01:55:11 pm EST
        
        Sometimes you just have to say uncle · HH · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 02:10:33 pm EST
        
        I only do that when I call him. · Anime Jason · Fri Dec 30, 2016 at 05:07:54 pm EST
        
        Call now. It's New Year! · HH · Sat Dec 31, 2016 at 03:12:43 pm EST
        
        Two hours too late for that. · Anime Jason · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 02:07:27 am EST
        
        The past is prologue. · HH · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 12:43:27 pm EST
        
        Better than an appendix. · Anime Jason · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 05:37:32 pm EST
        
        I'm very much off appendices today. And footnotes. · HH · Sun Jan 01, 2017 at 06:47:08 pm EST
- I think with Chapter Five everyone of our travelers is accounted for. · killer shrike · Tue Dec 27, 2016 at 10:08:18 am EST
  - I thought so, until more cast applied to be included. · HH · Wed Dec 28, 2016 at 04:24:40 am EST
