advice: give me some?
So I didn’t get the Xeric grant to publish Nine Gallons as the 96-page paperback book I’d like to. I’m not sure how I feel about the Kickstarter business plan (especially since I’ve already got a Spot.Us project in the works, and one should only have so many hats on the ground) — so I was wondering what my readers might suggest for a next step? Would you like to see the second chapter of Nine Gallons as a minicomic? (The story is kind of disjointed so this would require some storytelling finesse that I’m not sure I have.) Would you prefer to see the whole book by the end of 2010? And if the latter, um, know anyone with about $2500 they’d be willing to part with to publish it?
This seems like kind of an odd public request, but this book takes on some pretty odd subject matter, and I’d really like to get some feedback as to how salable it may or may not be. And FYI, spoiler alert, I don’t draw myself nude or in underwear at any point in the rest of the book, so take that fact into consideration in your answer.
And then I shall reward you all with some new downer This is What Concerns Mes!

I’m itching to check out the first issue of the minicomic, so, since you’re in a situation where publishing the whole book sounds like a problem, I’d say just stick to the minicomic format.
Maybe you will have better luck with a publisher looking to repackage the complete series as a book after the fact (I do not know how these things work)

I would love to check out the whole book, but I (like darrylayo) wonder if it could be repackaged and published as a book after the series has been published as individual minicomics? That could be kinda cool.
Sorry I don’t have $2500.
