A question for the crowd

[stillsostrange]

I own necromancerchronicles.com, but haven't done very much with it. Originally I planned to fill it full of all the book-related stuff I have on my website now--chapters, deleted scenes, soundtracks, etc.--plus the character studies and artwork I've been too lazy to post here. This hasn't happened both because I am a slothful beast and because I began wondering if there was any interest in such a thing. So instead of wondering and slothing, I will ask outright:

Would a website full of book-related extras be cool? Would it be too much duplicated content? If it doesn't sound cool, is there a way in which it could be made cool? If I asked for fan art, would anyone but csinman draw me some?

That would be a most awesome website! I'd love to see it.

I would really like a page of this, but it might be better as a sub-page on your author website rather as a separate site. Less websites to remember, if nothing else.

I'd be all over it. You could also include the sort of world-building/background stuff that would be a slog in the novel but possibly fun on the website. The novel equivalent of DVD Bonus features.

I'd have to learn to draw to draw you fan art.

Unless, of course, you accept stick figures? Those I can manage.

I think a separate website would be cool, but the content would need to be different. And keep in mind this isn't the only series you will ever write. That's what's keeping me from putting up a Delia only website. I have other books and I can't see doing a website and domain for each one.

My sloth might be bigger than your sloth.

I would love to see such a thing. (I adore extras.)

If I could draw, I definitely would.
