I've taken myself the liberty of archiving the manuscript and this thread, for future reference.

You might want to brush up on the legal definition of "contribution." I'm asking for input on how to make it better, I'm not asking people to write parts of the book.

Plus, writing "tl;dr" is in no way constructive.

Referring to those who actually contribute appropriatelly. Since I have no need for your petty cash, I respectfully withdraw myself from any active pursues regarding royalty rights based on the nonexistant contribution sides moi.

On the other hand, my jestful remark could indicate that you should perhaps start writing short stories. A short story is a splendid way to explore potential ideas, and like with most things in life, given they're good, it let's those who indulge into it crave for more.

I've written a few; some of them are available the same place my book is. Some are full stories, some are merely writing exercises.

Since I didn't bother caring, I wasn't aware of that.
