So?! What do we think? Shall we have a bitter old fan bitchfest?
- DD gets a lot of feedback from readers, which is reflected in sales, that the early four books are confusing, alienating, boring, or weird in their technology. "Readers" here means new readers, young readers, readers in the actual target market who are sort of essential.
- She wants to fix those pesky timeline issues.
- She wants to fix what she describes as "quality of writing issues", clunky bits, etc .
- If she does it herself and releases them now, she'll have solid new versions to give to the publishers if they ever do a reprint (possibly when #10 happens).
