In recent discussions with Parish, we have happened upon a dilemna. Do we publish all of his completed works on this site? Do we effort getting him published? Obviously it can't be both. Why would a publishing house pay for content available free online? Where's their profit?
Parish has suggested that he contribute his work up to a certain point. If anyone who is reading his work wants to finish a story line they would have to pay for it. The problem I see with this is we leave people hanging with no payoff in sight. He's brought you to the party scene in The Junkies Faust. He has no publishing deal. Does he leave you hanging or does he spread his work across the web for free?
Your input please. If noone has an opinion then noone is reading this anyway so he saves his work and hopes to make a profit from it at some point. If anyone is interested in what happens next in the current or future story lines then we still have a dilemna. Do we give it away or tickle your fancy and hope to get a deal sometime. Do we tickle your fancy so much that you picket/stage sit ins/boycott publishers until they give him a deal? Your input please. And remember, no input is in itself.............input.
