Before I start rambling, I have permission from Imp and Earl to start this thread, as I am largely following on their coattails 
I want to try ebook publishing and wonder if anyone else is interested. I am researching the logistics, as they seem to come in 2 formats, adobe or Microsoft. The end product could be sold starting out with perhaps net auctions such as ebay, and maybe a simple [but professional
] website [I have the script for purchasing things off the web somewhere].
The difference from the AH Anthology (that is someone else’s idea, and I fully respect that, so I won‘t be going there) is that I want to aim for a particular target audience. Eg BDSM - but dealing with different aspects, such as group, anal, gay etc but still with BDSM at its core. Maybe different ebooks for:
Eg. Horror - demons, ghosts, vampires
Eg fetishes [perhaps low key ones to get wider appeal]
Eg. Mystery - private eye theme etc
eg Sci-fi / Fantasy - new worlds etc
eg. Romance/reluctance - maybe a captive or historical theme or both.
These are only opening suggestions, so you tell me:
1. What sort of collection of stories you think people might be interested in reading
2. Story/ies you would like to submit, and what categorisation it might fall under.
If authors are interested, the story will have to fit with the whole feel of the book, so not everything put forward can be included [including my own!]. It would help if you could provide a link and also a mini description of your story. The story doesn’t have to be posted on Lit.
Without a doubt I would be informing Literotica [and even beg their guidance/assistance and see if they can help in getting us on amazon etc]
Anyone want to help or contribute? Obviously there is a need for people for the following areas to start with:
1. Proofreading / editing skills
2. Marketing / research
3. design & cover art
4. website building / technology savvy.
5. Story contributions
I would prefer for revenue [if any] to be divided up percentage wise among the contributors [this would include those working behind the scenes in proof reading etc] in a way that is agreed upon beforehand, and everyone can decide individually which cause [including themselves ] they want to donate to.
I welcome your input. The above is only a tender of some ideas, and I invite others to join in this collaboration. Let me know what you think!
Cheers, WT
