In case you haven't been encountering the links elsewhere, I'm now up to 10 (of 16) segments of my essay "The Theory of Related-ivity: A History and Analysis of the Best Related Work Hugo Category." (You can start here. Each individual segment has a link to the next--up through everything currently posted. https://alpennia.com/blog/theory-related-ivity-segment-i)

In theory, the individual segments should be showing up on the RSS feed of my blog here on Dreamwidth, but there's a glitch whereby the RSS feed pays attention to the date when the blog was originally created, not the date when it goes live. So anything I've set up well in advance (like this series) never shows up at all.

Once the whole thing has been published online, I'll be doing some revisions based on feedback and then releasing the work in ebook form. Haven't decided if I'll offer it for free or set a nominal price. I don't want to create friction for people who want to read it, but on the other hand there's the phenomenon that people don't take seriously what they can get for free. There will also be a hard copy version available at that point (obviously for a reasonable price).

I wonder how it would be received if you offered it as an ebook for a nominal fee, but also say "but if your budget is limited, contact me for a free copy"? I know that if I get free what others are paying for, I value it more. But this could be one of the ways I differ from the norm?
