Gauging Community Interest.
Greetings, fellow SBP fans!
I've been a fan of The Shoebox Project since it started posting on LJ all the way back in 2004, but I hadn't read any part of it in years. You can imagine my dismay when I went back to reread the chapters only to find that everything has apparently been removed from the original LJ community! Thankfully all of the wonderful writings and images were preserved via .PDF, and I did find the downloads.
Unfortunately, I rather loathe reading .PDF documents. I wasn't too thrilled about the idea of just translating them into word documents either, especially since each part was a separate file.
As such, I have taken it upon myself to build the .PDFs into a single file eBook. I'm not done yet (turns out making eBooks is ridiculously difficult if pictures are in any way involved), but since I am putting so much effort into the work I was curious how many others might be interested in a .epub or .mobi version of The Shoebox Project? You can read .epub on most e-readers and .mobi is the Kindle-friendly format.
All pictures will be included and formatting has been preserved from the .PDF documents as best as is possible.
If there is enough interest I'd love to share with the community.
