I would love to see a monthly ( bi- monthly even better!), short realms story. 1500- 10000 words or so. 99 cents in e format of some type. If I were in charge for a day...I would find a wat to let the authors self- publish on amazon and allow them too reel all profit.
Why would wotc do that or what's in it for them? Free publicity. Each story could be tied to something already written and being released as an e-book or new novels, and then a sample chaper or two would be included. As well as links to purchase.
This would allow small tales to be told from all eras. For instance, an Elminster book from the past gets e-released and we could have a 99 cent short telling us just what's up with his pipe?
Or how about a tale of Matteo and Tsigone.....with samples from councilors and king trilogy e-books?
Maybe find out what Telemont was up to when Shade was slipping into shadow?
Stories tied to future stories and releases are endless.
Fans win.
Authors win.
Publishers win.

Yeah that's why I didn't want to mention this in my other scroll and clutter two separate issues. |

Not sure why the canonical thing is so significant. Does it make the story more or less enjoyable, if it's thought to be "canon" or not?
Also, I highly support this idea. I would overlap it with DDI, so if you subscribe to DDI you get the story for free.
Authors self-publishing FR short stories (or anything in a company-owned IP) would be tricky, legally. What you'd have to get is WotC's buy-in and oversight, which means it'd have to be worth their while. Would they make enough from it monthly (or weekly) to justify putting one of their few editors on it?
Myself, I would love to see one new FR story every week, from a shifting catalogue of writers. The writers would have to make some coin from it, as they're working people who need to be paid for what they do.

Canon makes it more enjoyable to me...otherwise my brain treats it like fan-fic. I wish it weren't so, I agree it's not strictly logical that this should make it more enjoyable (but remember, you're talking to a board of rabid fans who cross reference with hundreds of source books). If Ed and/or WoTC or TSR or whoever it is seals it with the canon stamp, I feel validated in reading it and calling it part of the Realms library and yes, it makes it more enjoyable to me and worth paying for.
Just my two coppers. |

For me, canon is also important. In any shared setting, whether it's a movie universe (like Star Wars), an RPG setting (like the Realms), or something else, I enjoy most the stories that move the timeline forward, even if such stories are small in scale. I have no interest in something that doesn't move the setting, because as I said in another thread recently, if fiction isn't moving the setting forward, then it feels stagnant to me -- and an unchanging setting is of no interest to me.

Not a bad plan, but I still favor an approach that lets me buy individual articles/stories. If I have to pay for things I don't want, as in the current setup, then I'll keep my money. |

FR authors self-publishing FR stories? While I like the idea, Red, [the more that's written about my favorite characters and realms, the better] as Eric noted, it would be quite tricky, almost certainly impossible. |

Well, what I'm saying is that they'd do BOTH. You could get the stories for individual download fees on Amazon, or--if you're a DDI subscriber--you can get them "free" at Wizards (included in the cost of DDI).
One would have to run the numbers to see if that would be advantageous, but it's just an idea. The main question is whether it would bring people into DDI.

Well, with WotC's buy-in, you could definitely do something like this. It would just take a little editing on their part, which they get compensated for out of the cost of the story.

In my mind, having everything published chained to canon only assures a future rest again as I have read or heard several people already complaining about all the uberpowerful characters popping up all over 4e. I think it's just as wrong an argument as before, but that's why that part is for another scroll. I just want to see how much support we can drum up for this type of thing and see if we get the publishers attention.
Saying it would stagnate the setting would imply history is unimportant or uninteresting. Valid opinion I guess, but myself I want more worries. Past, present and future.
How does understanding the realms past not advance it's future? |

I don't see WotC allowing writers to self-published Realms stories. In all candor, I'd hate to see that, myself, especially if some writers took it upon themselves to fill in the gaps on characters other writers created or wrote extensively about. I don't want someone else deciding what happened to Danilo during the Spellplague, and I don't want to read anyone else's version of Drizzt as a young drow. From just about any way you look at it, this would be a steep, slippery slope. Editorial oversight, especially for continuity, is vital.
If Wizards decided that direct-to-digital short fiction was worthwhile and assigned an editor to the project, I'd be all for it. |

Talk about nightmare scenario! If anyone purposefully did that, it would be a huge transgression in professional courtesy and respect, both for the author and for the fan.

100% agreement.
I would advocate writers write the stories, send them to Wizards, and Wizards publishes them, business as usual. Aside from editing, formatting, and continuity benefits, the legal protection is as much for WotC's benefit as our own.
If you're self-publishing in your own IP, then that's totally fine, obviously. More than fine.

I must admit, the self publish part, I only threw out trying to find a way to make sure my friends (authors) are compensated as highly as possible.....hey, I'm biased! |

Thanks for the thought, but any FR writer who self-published a Realms story for profit would be in OMG FLAGRANT violation of contract terms and copyright. Such a person should be scorned, censored, and forced to listen to 90's boy bands. |

Personally, I would say it's dependent upon the focus and purpose of the individual story.
After all, there are ways for writers to tell great and romping tales of Realms adventure that pay little heed to established canon. They simply choose not to violate continuity by they either focusing on new characters and/or locations [much like RAS did with his earliest Realms tales], or simply brush softly against the limits of Realms canon -- bending, rather than breaking outright, what most readers would accept.

WoTC would definitely have to monitor and approve any stories that would fall into this category. Personally i would not like to see some random author writing about characters whom another author has all ready established. |

Always a fan of anything that = more short stories. I do like Erik's overlapping with DDI idea, at the same time I'd probably just accumulate them and never read them unless they were also bundled together in an e-collection at the end of the year (assuming a monthly thing, and then a 12 pack put together in December or something), because I'm too scatterbrained like that. But yeah, I'd buy that (and eventually read it).
As far as the canon argument, non-canon is either 1) too jarring in its inconsistencies compared to other things and tends to detract from the story for me, regardless of how enjoyable it might have been up until that point or 2) too jarring if it's the initial characterization/historical/geographical details that I become familiar, and the reverse of 1 happens. Not to say that this means various authors shouldn't different interpretations and portray people/places/events in slightly different lights, because that would be ridiculous. But some kind of continuity is important. |

A 12 pack for, say, $8-$10 at the end of the year would be pretty neat.
I haven't seen a "Realms of XXX" anthology for a long time. This could be its rebirth?

Jocularity aside, I'm almost intrigued by this concept.
Not in any sort of perverted way, of course, but an scholarly examination -- through the fiction -- of the seedy underbellies of many of the less-visited Realms locales, would be something I'd find particularly interesting. |
