I read your post at the time, @rootdraws, and I thought there were some interesting ideas.
We have been working with a writer on some of the copyright issues involved and we have looked at a plan where the two channels - Hive and Amazon KDP - can complement and enhance each other. That writer is preparing their launch and it will be great to have a model for other writers. I really like the model the Wachowskis used with The Matrix where many different media were used for interwoven back stories and side stories to the films. That's more where we're heading in The Ink Well.
There's also the question about the nature of reading and how that is changing with the Internet and leading to changing forms of creativity and consumption. We have some talented younger people coming through with some great ideas who are not constrained by conventional forms like novels. I'm interested to see where they will go if we are able to provide the environment where they will flourish.
Thank you for your comment - feedback is really helpful for developing our ideas.
