@timothy-young. I’ve heard of people doing something like this with their email list. They’ll send out a survey to see what types of books people like the most, and then they’ll write that.

This sounds like a very interesting idea, Timothy. The only problem I would see (which you have already pointed out) is making the ideas go together.

@Daeus ah. Yeah, I actually like writing those. They’re kind of… I don’t know, relieving. 😛 You don’t have to juggle as many things all at the same time.
