[Mkguild] Publishing MK

[Rimme the Weasel]

Okay, I didn't think you were really serious about this, but now I have to
ask:

What is the purpose of publishing a set of MK stories? Especially the first
dozen or so stories that have been available online for free for 20+ years?

Is there going to be any exclusive content in this book? Will the stories
be edited to match all our worldbuilding, or tied together into a single
coherent plot? Will there original, high-quality illustrations? Will there
be behind-the-scenes information?

Is the money going to a good cause? What will publishing an anthology
accomplish that a donation drive or fundraiser (for the community, or an
author) wouldn't?

Of all the possible selection of MK stories you could pick, why the first
dozen? Everything after the first story, and before "Tis The Season", was
written within the first 3 weeks of MK's existence. Do we want to shun all
the newer writers of MK who loved the world enough to join and contribute
to it 10+ years later, in deference to the one-story authors who thought
nothing of continuity or tone or plot, only of joining the latest TSA fad,
who have long since left us, some of whom have disowned furry writing
entirely, including their own MK stories?

The only reason I can see, apart from "that would be neat", is as some way
to preserve Metamor Keep for the ages. I don't think published-for-money
e-books are the way to go for that.
