Alexa, thanks again for answering my questions. Of course, the best
quality for a reasonable price would be ideal, regardless of page-
size, etc. I would imagine they would sell quite well in this group,
though I do suspect that the point Neil and Penny made about WB not
sitting still for HP fanzines is quite valid. Regardless of the fact
that there would be no profit made on this, and considering the furor
over non-profit fansites already, I would expect that this would only
invite trouble, much as I would love to have some HP zines. BTW,
Penny, I would bet JKR would be flattered by the fan's zeal and
passion, and supportive of the authors' efforts, not to mention
hugely impressed by their talent. She'd have to be pleased that her
characters are so well loved, and that she's inspiring budding
writers. WB, on the other hand...
> Someone who's printed out DD or DS or PoU or something else fairly
standard - how many pages did it come to, and what formatting did you
use? <<<<<<<<<<<<
I've printed out only a few so far: PoU, Chps. 1-10 of ASA, and DD.
8 1/2 x 11, 1-inch margins, and a fairly big font size. The chapters
ran anywhere between 15 or so pages to a few that were really long,
maybe 70 pages. The average number of pages per chapter seemed to be
about 30. I haven't tried totalling all the pages for any of these,
but PoU is easily 400 pages, at least the way it came out for me.
Carole, do you have any tips for me? <g> Guess I'll just keep doing
it this way.
