And when you're a big fancy author, you have a book's worth of short stories that you will call an 'experimental novel' because nobody buys shorts collections anymore.

I buy short story collections.

David Eagleman's SUM sold very well.

I think that it depends on the collection, more than the format.

I'm sure there are plenty that do, but it's enough of a thing that I know multiple authors who have gone that route.

Not my best work, but I think the format was an interesting experiment in perspective.

Maybe it seemed dirtier in my head, I dunno. I never posted it anywhere else before, though a couple bits are borrowed from hither and yon and might be familiar.

I'm always impressed by the way your fiction seems like a glimpse into a fully realised world. I finish each story wanting to know more.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sat Sep 08, 2012 11:54 am

Danke.

The internet ate today's story. Instead, you can read Squigslayer!, a totally unauthorized tale of Gotrek & Felix.

You don't write on something offline like Libre Office that has auto-save and then copy the completed document into an html file?
