@Rasp So I'm mulling on that.
Current idea is there's a free version with just the stories and a paid version with illustrations included.
It'd be really low cost, like say a monthly thing that's no more than $5, and the money is split evenly among everyone who contributes.

The minor problem is that syndicated publications usually have curation for quality in order to ensure peak customer satisfaction. So that even if you're not interested in all the content, there's enough to keep you buying.
But I'd want this to have a much lower barrier so people can have more fun with it, which also means the amount that people would pay for it would likely be less than a standard periodical.

I'm not exactly a business oriented person so I'm not expecting anybody to make a living on this. That'd be super fucking lovely, but I have no idea what the market for it would even be.

Who'd be interested in writing short stories under 1000 words for a digital periodical?

I like ropes because if something goes wrong, they can be quickly and easily cut.
I don't like latex because that's a lot of stuff you have to cut through in an emergency.

Also I just hate the sound and sensation of rubber rubbing on rubber.

@Rasp What if every time we tried to kiss we were interrupted, but then we randomly kiss on accident?

We're all the protagonist of our own life.
Question is, what's your genre? Shonen, slice of life, drama?

@Rasp First it was the finger in the mirror, then it was the boba, now this.
Any reason to post boob is a good reason.

@prettygood
That's a banger of a line.

@Rasp Same reason we have to watch Batman's parents die every five years.

Honestly I could never make some weird shit anonymously because I want to enjoy people enjoying my weird shit.
If they don't know who made it, then I'd have to hunt down their posts talking about it. Telling people I made it means that they tell me directly, probably.

Anyway, that website link I posted earlier, I'm so glad it really only took a cumulative half hour to set up the site and draw the pictures.
I should probably make a gallery page.

@lucxx Who that?

Math be like:

4+4=8
4*4=4+4+4+4=16
4^2=4*4
4^3=4*4*4=
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)=64

4^4=4*4*4*4=
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+ //one 4*4*4
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+ //two 4*4*4
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+ //three 4*4*4
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)+
(4+4+4+4)+(4+4+4+4)=256

2*2=4
2^2=2*2=4
2^3= 2*2*2= (2*2)*2= 4*2=8
2^4= 2*2*2*2= (2*2)*(2*2)= 4*4= 16
4*4*4*4= 2^4*2^4= 2^8= 256

8*7= 7*2*2*2= 14*2*2= 28*2= 56

108*17= (100+8)*(10+7)=
100*10 + 100*7 + 10*8 + 8*7=
1000 + 700 + 80 + 56=
1700 + 136 = 1836

@lain Fasust bitch.

@lain @hj @sun
Yeah but which among them is a reliable method that will earn the artist what they deserve while still allowing people to publish variants commercially?

@lain @hj @sun
I did forget the OP was about software copyright.
That may be so, as a virtue of the culture.

@lain @hj @sun
Ok, let's say it's not, for the sake of argument.
Do you think the problem I mentioned exists, should be addressed, and if so, do you have a suggestion for it?

I don't super care about it being property or not, I just care about giving people the ability to make art and live good. I think maybe classifying it as such made doing that easier to deal with.

@lain @hj @sun
I like the idea of people being able to make a cool new thing and make money on it for a while until the market is flooded with copycats and improvizers that make it harder to make money on the original.

Or maybe that's not a problem anymore, and it used to be.

The problem is abuse by people who have lots of money, as usual.

@hj @lain @sun
This is the correct opinion.

"I think for dinner, I will make scrambled eggs... and spam."

@hj *minecraft eating noises*

Hey girl, are you a shitty game?
Cuz I'd love to abandon my wear for you.
