That's actually a seriously kickass idea! Whatever is easier on you, I'd be all for it!- O_O Man. . . imagine if we got this s**t published!

It's to see if I have the tools to make ebooks/pdfs/etc and if I can use them effectively for making a book. I have another project going on with a small circle of other friends; we're literally writing a book.
As far as publishing goes, you can't really take a roleplay rooted in copyrighted material and try to publish it like most books. One example of this conflict is the published version of the webcomic Drowtales; its origins are from the Forgotten Realms setting, but they had to redo the first 11 chapters and retcon a TON of crap just so they could get a subscription-based payment system greenlighted because Forgotten Realms and other D&D-specific things are property of Wizards of the Coast. In our case, Gaia Interactive owns a good chunk of the setting the roleplay takes place in.
I'm more inclined to just hand it out for free via Dropbox or Freewebs anyway.

It's alright. Besides, the only difference between 'have for sale' and 'distribute for free' is a middleman more interested in profit than actually telling a story. People would still get the archive regardless, but we have more freedom in what we do with it if I offer it for free.I'm leaning toward annotations as part of the archive; Let me know if there's any objections.

<_< I knew that. (Not really.) SO! At 3:30pm CST I have to go get my cousins from the Bus stop, and after I get home I'm going to just be doing a few things around the house (like, finishing up the laundry that my aunt started, put away dishes, and straighten up the house. It usually takes me almost an hour), I hope to see some RP posts when I come back! biggrin Things are getting good!!

Well here's a link to a very rough example of what a given page would look like with annotation:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38126910/test.pdf
The posts are all as-is, except for capitalization and spellcheck. I haven't gotten to the part where the verb tense and story format gets all screwy, but I'm going to correct those. Thankfully there's not a whole lot of it.

Homigod, Sabe that's an awesome idea.
I think the tester you uploaded is perfect, including the annotations. It seems like so much work though.. So like what Styk said- whatever is easiest on you. :3

@Styk: I'll text Foxi and tell her she hurt your feelings XP
@E-Book Idea: Genius! Pure Genius! biggrin That would make referencing past events so much easier! And it might make me want to read through from the beginning.
