Default Fiver book revisited

I know as an idea publishing a book of fivers has already been mooted, but all the same I've just come across something of interest, namely this (following from this Slashdot article). I realise it's probably still not a practicable idea, but I thought it might interest everyone anyway.

(Also, I might order it to see what it's like - from the LJ community it seems to actually be quite funny stuff, though perhaps lacking in concisity ( :wink: ).)

Do not freaking remind me of Movies in Fifteen Minutes. It took her one stupid year to get farther than I've gotten in five and a half.

I've thought about doing books, but I wouldn't be able to make a profit off them without changing the names, which I've always found annoying in parodies. I could break even, I guess. I'll continue to think about it. And I may swallow my pride and get in touch with cleolinda to see how she pulled this off.

Pfffft. That just means you've really really thought it through. If you're going to do something, you might as well do it really thoroughly - it's the sign of a truly methodical mind. Also, you have great taste in socks, and that hairstyle really suits you.

Okay, I'm done with the creepy sucking up now. But seriously, it would be extremely awesome to know if it were actually feasible.
