How much would it be a pain to you, to have people discussing your works in progress?

Folks discussed both Fledgling and Saltation as they were being written, over in theo_waitley. Sometimes I looked, sometimes I didn't. As long as someone isn't emailing me or ambushing me in some way, I don't much care what people say. Though some of the guesses of what's going to happen next are, um...funny.

Would the money be worth the trouble to you?

The aspect that was the worst on the other projects was the Keeping Track of Subscriptions so that we could be sure that people who had "earned" a book through sufficient donations would get their books. The writing part of it wasn't much trouble -- we are writers, after all.
