# Your subject line shows the kind of culture clash you suffer from. The post page says it often: Jokes are better than technique.
& You are incorrect there, some of it did inspire
creation of a number of amusing pics by lots of folks.

In all my anti-yiffery I've ended up making a fair number
of very yiff pics. And I've posted my share of JJ fanboying.

That said, try battered haddock. Then leash him while he eats it.

# a heartrending tale
of youthful innocence burned out in the napalm fires, of lives shattered and twisted by the brutal war, of a nation's betrayal of its heroes, of the effort for a hero to ever love, to ever trust, to ever view humanity through the eyes of the purblind, the dragging, cloying mass of protestors and peaceniks and hippies preaching their love for all while teenagers massacre teenagers for a stinking stretch of burned-out jungle

You can find stuff in my profile if you're really interested, though Amazon force me to horribly overcharge for them.

Give it about five or six months and I should have enough stories to issue an anthology and that will be a lot more sensibly priced. I'm hoping for twelve stories or so, for about four quid. That's the kind of cost (with a small discount) I wanted for short stories in the first place, but Amazon won't let me sell for less than 99c.

# until then you can find a couple for free on smashwords
more to come when i can be bothered
a) writing them
b) making covers
some days i find i can only do one, others i can only do the other, while most days i can't seem to do either. plan for tomorrow: take a break mid-afternoon and sit in a cafe writing and drinking ludicrously over-priced cups of coffee.

# I don't really buy the culture arguement
The 'culture' in parts of New Guinea was to cut off your enemies head, shrink it, and keep it on a pole. I am not going to say 'Aw, bless' to that. If Moggy's culture involves drawing pictures of children being raped (and it doesn't, I worked for a Japanese firm for a while) then I'm going to challenge it, not fight to protect it.

# Speaking of internet forum cultures.
Lots of bad things in life get depicted, childrape is not unique there.
However, I think it's a rather limited subject and scenario. Anything
in the mode is best used with a lot of distance in the joke. Just my view. A pea..

# Thanks.
And yeah, the edge is way back for much of it.
Waste of work in the end, which perhaps I find
sadder than the subject matter.

# what you need to do is gather all these pictures together
and put them out as a book. i'd buy it. fuck it, i'd buy three copies cos my sisters would enjoy it too. if the pictures you're using are now in the public domain, do it! (if you can't be arsed, send me the pictures together and i'll assemble them into a print-quality pdf for you. this is also a serious offer.)

# I'd buy too.
Some of my favourites are the ones i don't quite get. I like that.

That's three of us so far. Get a goddamned book together, or let me do it for you for the nominal fee of 20% royalties.

# There has been some interest over the years. I've sent it around often enough.
But it hasn't panned out. I may have to do
DIY/ebook/lulu thing. As a lot of people want
hardcopy of them. Yeah, except for one or two
riffings they all are copyright clear. I will
no doubt spam here if I do get a deal or DIY.

# Hmm, sounds reasonably promising
Keep on tarting them around! And going the Lulu/Amazon CreateSpace route doesn't stop you hawking it to publishers - at least, not from Lulu and Amazon's side; last time I checked the agreements weren't exclusive, and I was careful to check that. Some publishers *are* arsey about something that's been released before, even independently, but I'd expect that could be worked out since in principle it's no difference from a small-press book being bought out by a larger publishers and that's always happened.
