#but yeah it'd be me an lilly at the same table

[asreoninfusion]

Well, that escalated quickly!! Yesterday was, oh, hey, I’m probably gonna look at going to Kupocon (the next London one in February, Pomingham Palace). Today I am not only definitely going, I am teaming up with @lilly-white to get a table in the artist’s alley with a combined stock of art prints, a collab comic/fanzine, and printed fic collection books.

Subject to change and shit, of course, because it’s still nine months until the con and I am getting so far ahead of myself here it’s ridiculous.

However. With this being a possibility, I thought I’d ask you guys, the readers of my fic, which ones would like to see the most in that sort of short-story-collection book format? What are your faves? Which ones do you think would work best in a collection like that if it goes ahead?

(Bonus question: we’ve been considering doing a comic collab together - my writing, Lilly’s art - and there’s definitely the possibility of picking a oneshot fic I’ve already done and drawing that out. Thoughts/suggestions for any fics you’d like to see/think would work well as a comic are also encouraged!)

The picture I have in my head for these fic collection thingys is very similar to the novel doujinshi produced in Japan. Example: ambrosia does a lot of these. (Although I think normal paperback size/shape for mine, to make printing easier.)

Some further thoughts:

- Nice cover artwork, obviously. (Probably by Lilly since we’re the collab duo on this. x3) Possibility of some illustrations on the inside too.

- Possibility of two or two different collections with a particular pairing or theme.

- Let’s Play is the most popular of my stories by quite a bit, but definitely not the best written. >> Still, it’s not unfeasible I could rework some things (*cough*chaptertwo*cough*) and clean it up and produce that whole fic as it’s own mini chaptered book kind of thing.

- Best fics to include would probably be the ones with a bit of build up, maybe some world building behind them, some different types of scenes like fight scenes or whatever in them. (I’m thinking things like Involuntary and Turn The World in this category.)

- I’m on the fence about Prize, because I thought that one was really solid and definitely has the build up and character interactions, but...

- Possibly going to stay away from the really super kinky ones for the time being. >>;;; (Hence not so sure about Prize. It’s good, but too kinky???)

- Alternatively, fics that people just really like and are too gold not to put in. Cloud Sharing, for example. xD

- Possibility of writing a short mini-fic that will be included in the collection that won’t be available anywhere else.

- Possibility of selling of any leftovers on here for people who couldn’t make it, probably just on a ‘cover the cost of the printing + postage’ basis.

Soooooo. Yeah. This might be a thing. Lemme know what sort of stuff you’d like to see if it does happen???
