I just learned about the Lulu Blooker Prize. A Literary award specifically for blooks (the Prize defines a blook as a printed and bound book derived from Web content, especially a blog). Once The Underland is finished, I will most likely publish it in printed form at Lulu (maybe some of you will even want to buy it!) and then submit it to the Blooker. The final printed version will be different from the on-line version (although I might make the original on-line version available in printed form if there is a high enough demand from you readers). The final printed version will be revised and edited and any continuity hiccups will be corrected.
Ooh, here’s a neat idea: I could collect the news posts and selected reader comments as appendices.

Now you’re talking about a networked book, Basil!

Hmmm… you’ve just flagged a question in my wee brain, Paula. Am I allowed to publish people’s comments in my book? I wouldn’t want to inadvertantly steal someone else’s intellectual property.
