You keep acting as though your very narrow legalese definition of "self-publisher" is the be-all-end-all.

Mind you, I think it'd be an unfortunate and likely-ill-fated decision to ignore the way the medium of prose is evolving by discounting webnovels and other similar "online releases by author who owns the license, and may later collect them as a for-sale ebook" media as not being official releases. It is a major part of how literature ''works'' these days, doubly so in the case of small-profile sci-fi and fantasy literature, and I think that part will only grow as time goes on. '''But''' we need to be clear on whether this is the only issue you still find with the short stories, or if you'd also have objections to an Amazon-aided book release of them. | Mind you, I think it'd be an unfortunate and likely-ill-fated decision to ignore the way the medium of prose is evolving by discounting webnovels and other similar "online releases by author who owns the license, and may later collect them as a for-sale ebook" media as not being official releases.
