Writing Books

Hi, this is moongirl9, with another article, hoping to get published :) I think it would be really cool if people could write stories in Whyville. Yes, I know that they can already do that in the Times. :) This would be different.

People could buy pages with clams, and write on them. (Duh!) Then, there could be a printing factory, and people could pay to have their books printed (like two clams a copy?) and then sell them for more.

Or, maybe, there could be Whyville authors who could write and there could be a few Whyville editors who could pick some of the best stories and publish them (I would love to be one! :) And then there could be a Whyville bookstore where you buy the books. Then, maybe there could be an option where you can print the story, or maybe the author could choose whether or not people can print up their story.

Either that, or maybe the books could go to a Whyville library, where there would be a weekly membership fee or something, and every time somebody checked out an author's book, the author would get paid. Maybe the books could automatically disappear after a certain time, so that other people could get them, or there could be a late fee, so that the person could still finish the story if they needed to, but they would have to pay the fee. Also, maybe the editors could get paid 10 clams for every successful book they put in the library (the books could be called successful after they'd been checked out like 100 times by different people) and they would get fined 10 clams for every book which never got checked out.

Well, I hope you like my idea, and even if it doesn't get published, I hope that my idea will get considered.

Signing off to read a book,
moongirl9
