I have now figured out how to give my stories of the LNH their own
distinctive web pages under Eilertech.com. The pages start at
http://www.eilertech.com/stories/lnh/ , and include both my Clueless Lad
stories plus "Stay Dead!". They have the stylish LNH banner.

I have also figured out how to sell Google ads on all my story pages.
Until now, I only sold the ads on last year's pages plus the main page
of Superhuman World 2011. Mostly the ads are for my amusement, as I see
(for instance) what kinds of survivalist wish to advertise on my
dystopian world. But Google now owes me $4.40. I expect the revenue to
increase as I spread the ads to my other pages and the old pages get web
traffic from searches. Even $44.00 would be respectable. It would be
difficult for me to turn the ads off for specific story pages.

Together, these things mean: I now sell advertisements for LNH stories
I write, under the LNH banner. May I do that?

south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions... But never mind, I've
found me the ideal job. I'm going to run for President!

It's a tricky topic. The best I can say is I have no objection to you or
anyone making money off my LNH and LNH20 stories. Heck, sell them as a
book if you want, that would be great promotion with zero risk.

Wait... your archive has only your stories. In which case, I'd motion
that it's completely within your rights. Still... let's put it this way,
I have no objection to you or anyone profiting from your (or their) own
stories that use characters and concepts created by me, either.

Indeed! I have no objection to with people reposting my LNH stories or
stories with my LNH characters with ads around them.

Honestly, I'd been thinking about doing similar on my own website, back
when I had that running. What'cha think - cool, or fool?
