Is it? Yes, it's yet another Poll!

So, let's say that there were to be e-books (for an ish definition of books) of about 40,000 words, which breaks down to around five to eight stories depending on the length of the stories included, how should I chose the stories? If I have enough stories in a specific mythos, that's an easy group, but I have a lot of stories that stand

Anyone who questions why people go to school for marketing should have to go through a process like this.

Since, AFAIK, you've never questioned anything of the kind, I shall just offer sympathy.

And the observation that I'm pretty sure people would buy them if they came in reverse alphabetical order with randomly alternating fonts. ;->

I would prefer it if the fonts were reasonably considtent within each story, but otherwise your last option seems as good as any other to me. I have a slight preference for order of some kind over total chaos ("neutral, tending to chaotic good"), but something like reverse alphabetical order (where the alphabet in use is Greek, say, for the purposes of ordering) satisfies that.

(But if that's too much like work I'm happy with author's choice, which will itself be sufficiently non-random.)

I love the last two options. *lol*

Voted Random. :)

I have nothing constructive to offer except glee that you have discovered that every LJ poll that can be must be accompanied by a 'ticky box!' option.

That is all.

I like short story collections which are thematically similar, but not necessarily the same genre.

So if you has a collection of stories, where a significant character died in each story, then it would be thematically similar, even if the stories were a mix of sf, heroic fantasy, urban fantasy, & horror. I am not asking for a book of death, it is just an example. A collection of stories which use lies as a significant plot device would be another example.

Yes, I admit I am not good at simple answers

As much as I would absolutely love to see a direct from Huff to my eReader conduit, I completely understand your reluctance. Don't ask me why, it would just fill up your inbox with stuff no one should have to read.

However, kudos for being proactive enough to think about making extra content available for us to enjoy.
