    Hello, Readers!

    My first Required Viewing blog post is live and covers not only two of my favorite movies, but also briefly discusses the difference between science fiction and science fantasy. Check it out now at: https://rhwebster.wordpress.com/2016/04/29/required-viewing-1-star-wars-and-the-martian/

    Have a fantastic weekend!

      How timely this discussion is for me! My issue has more to do with a "2..0" collaboration plan enhancement, i.e. royalty splitting.

      I am the sole writer of my Inkshares project. I am currently in discussion with an artist, to bring visual appeal to the project. So far, I have identified TWO ways Inkshares could help me with this.

      1. The artist wants to retain ownership of the images while the project is in funding. He wants to limit the use of the images to the Inkshares website while the project is in funding. In other words, at this point, we want to use his images simply to enhance and to promote the project. Yet if I upload an image to the project, it could easily be "borrowed" by anyone. Inkshares could at the very least have a policy of image ownership during funding and during production.

      2. We are thinking ahead to successful funding and subsequent publication. At that point, the artist wants to negotiate a royalty split. I would like to know that Inkshares has a mechanism for establishing that at the very beginning, and as a publishing house, would distribute the royalties to the appropriate parties, issue 1099’s, etc.

      I will say this. I have found @Jeremy Thomas to be very open to ideas and suggestions. The company is young, small, and nimble. It is in evolution. You can bet that good ideas, like what I see in this forum thread, will be considered and implemented if they fit into their remarkable vision.

        Stone writes beautifully. The characters of RUNE are alive and vibrant;  the world in which they dwell is both exciting and rich; and the story which propels it all is not only engaging, but  profoundly deep.  Well done, sir!

            Okay guys, here’s the deal; I’ve got 11 days to move 72 copies. Not impossible but If I can move 10-15 in the next 24 hours I’ll be in a good position to negotiate an extension. This is what I need; any of you who have been waiting to pre-order, or know someone who would like to, its now your time to shine! If everyone within "earshot" of this shared and retweeted this post it should get us to where we need to be. Thank you all for your support so far. We’re almost there you guys! We’re counting on you.

            Jamison Stone liked the forum thread, What is the best image proportion for Inkshares books?
            The standard proportions appear to be 2:3 width to height. For use on the site, it looks as though that comes out as 400 pixels by 600 pixels.

            But you’re probably going to want to have a much bigger, higher resolution "master copy" for when the thing does go to print. For that, I don’t know, but I would suggest being ready with something 6"x9" at 300dpi, or 1800x2700 pixels. Or, if you like, even higher: it’s better to scale down an image than to scale up.

              I’m really glad you brought this up, @Jamison Stone ! 

              Not only am I hoping to be involved in two anthologies that are currently on the site, but both of my own "next-up" projects are collaborative works. I’ve been hesitant to add them to the site because I’m not sure how I would handle the royalties. It would be FANTASTIC if Inkshares could program a way to co-author projects without creating additional accounts or leaving it up to one author to distribute the money.
