[stylist] A different way of thinking about your project

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Donna,

No, I didn't mean they received reader input, I just was referring to
the serialization of their stories.

Bridgit,
Dickens and many others published their novels in installments, but I
don't remember ever hearing that they took reader input. I'm sure they
got some though, so it's hard to tell how much influence it was. Donna

The idea has merit, and in this day and age, there are quite a few of
ways in which to distribute the material.

It's a little like how back in the day, way back in the day, literary
publications would publish a series this way. Each issue would contain a
new section or chapter to a larger story.

It's an interesting idea, Brad. As Robert indicated, I think Stephen
King tried a different version of this idea about 20 years ago. I've
killed a lot fo brain cells since then, but I think he posted a chapter
online, and asked people to send him a buck (it was before the days of
paypal). If 50% of the people who read it sent him a buck, he'd post the
next chapter--something like that. And from what I remember, it fizzled
out. As an unknown, the hardest part would be getting subscribers. James
Patterson (or one of the many grad students he pays minimum wage to
write under his name) could pull it off easily. Me--I'm not so sure.
