OK, I have a question. I've had an idea for a post for a while now, and it looks like I should probably run it by you guys first. See, here's the situation - I am in possession of an anniversary comic celebrating the 60th birthday of Donald Duck. This comic has an interesting narrative device - it reprints various stories from various points in Donald's history, and frames them with a story about how Donald is DREAMING these stories after the pre-birthday ingestion of an especially naughty dessert, which for all intents and purposes links the whole comic together into one story. It consists pretty much entirely of a sleepwalking Donald running around yelling nonsense phrases which relate to the previous story, while the increasingly sleep-deprived H,D&L try frantically to keep him under control. It's pretty funny. Now, here's what I was planning. I was planning on posting the framing story - and JUST the framing story - in its entirety, a matter of possibly eight pages, and then leaving it up to popular vote which of the other stories I should post bits from. My reasoning is as follows - the effect of the framing story is to basically turn the rest of the book's contents into one long story, read as a single sequence. Removing the framing story converts it from part of an ongoing narrative into a stand-alone piece, albeit one that makes precious little sense out of context. Furthermore, the comic is at least ten years old now (thereby not making it a new comic that people are likely to beef about), has never been reprinted to my knowledge, and is jammed with various articles and such (which I would NOT post) that beef up the page count considerably, meaning that my initial post is not only less than a third of the total 'story', but less than a third of the comic itself. It was published by Gladstone Comics, which as far as I know has gone out of business (Disney publishes its stuff under the 'Disney Comics' label now). So, in short, while technically what I would be reprinting is stand-alone stuff, it is, as far as I know, stand-alone stuff that none of its owners has the slightest interest in using or reprinting again, and it DOES fit in pretty well as less than a third of the total story, if you go with the theory that all the contents of the book are meant to be read as one, which is clearly implied. It DOESN'T stand up on its own - you need the rest of the comic to make any sense of it - and it's not even complete, since my copy is pretty dilapidated by now, and the first few pages of the story are missing. I won't ask you to make an exception in my case or anything like that - I'll abide by your decision - but would it be possible to bend the rules just a little teeny bit here?
