    Unless you have a very small no. of suscribers, you're bound to incur costs that
you can't afford. So there's no choice but to charge them. I'd suggest printing out
one copy and photo-copying it then, the quality may deprove but I think it's cheaper.

I guess we should all just hope that it's just the graphic novels being put out.
There are other alternitaves that wouldn't be too bad to see come to be.
For quite some time I have been thinking about offering fanfiction to fans that
don't have
access to the web via a 'newsletter' type of deal (free of cource).
Each issue of it would have one or two stories (depending on length) for Sailor
Moon,
Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo and a small section for reviews of the stories.  There
could possibly be more in it than that. Unfortunatly something like that would
get expensive quickly, after 7 or 8 prints  (ruffly 20-50 pages long) plus stamps
and other supplies, and I would then need to charge some to help pay for ink,
paper and such.  eventualy I probably would be running my poor printer 24 hours 7
days a week just trying to keep up, ok so it probably wouldn't get that bad
but....
Anyway  its a nice idea.  Unfortuantly I can't see how it would really work out.

Any sugestions, or anyone that would be willing to help with something like this?
