Thank you!

I'm happy to hear that.

Indeed, [livejournal.com profile] quennessa and I have plans to release Monster House in hardcopy eventually. (Origami Mage is intended to come first.) A key challenge is that Monster House is an open-ended series; it doesn't have a specific plot arc and the poems jump around in chronology. So I'm kind of keeping an eye on it to see if it'll manifest a good stopping point somewhere and fill in some of the interim gaps, such that the poems would gather neatly into a collection. There's always the option of doing another book later if necessary.

I do like the idea of releasing serial poetry in hardcopy collections, for the sake of permanence. Also, while there are a few historic examples of serial poetry, almost nobody does it now. So this is something unique that I -- and all of you -- are doing, which will be easier for random strangers to discover if there are paper books. It's easier to get those listed and reviewed.
