Kate on whole page :

There’s a slightly longer version of this comment over at Grand Text Auto’s site: this was my reply:

Hi - Yes, I know what you mean, this might seem oxymoronic, or even underhand. However, we wanted to keep all doors open to all possibilities, not knowing where this project might lead. I don’t foresee actually ‘charging for content’ (did we say that?!) but I am interested in thinking about ways that a project like this could, potentially, generate income. This iteration of the project is funded by Arts Council England, London, so we are not under pressure to generate income yet, but this has become more of an imperative for Chris and I with other digital fiction projects. But thanks for your interest, and thanks for mentioning us on your site. Cheers! Kate
