This week's reviews:

Norman: Tales from Amazon #1
Front cover and an interior page from Norman: Tales from Amazon #1

Norman: Tales from Amazon #1 by Kelly Froh

When Kelly Froh landed a contract position at Amazon.com she thought it was going to be a cool gig. Boy, was she wrong. Plugged into one of six front-line operating desks Froh served a six month term fielding customer calls and complaints.

Norman is one of perhaps more Tales From Amazon, and another fascinating character study by Froh. Norman was a stoner, recovering drunk, and co-operator who took a turn for the perverse with the ever-present Indian security guard.

The conflict escalated to the Dexterous hands of corporate HR where justice is culpably dealt with business-like efficiency and extreme prosecutory aversion.

Norman's Amazon tale is told in illustrated first person narrative. Froh's storytelling is authentic and entertaining. The moments she portrays are close-up and emotionally packed. In the end it's Norman who acts in his own defense. Froh simply presents her recollection of the case and its epilogue.

Norman: Tales from Amazon #1 (2010 self-published) is 16 b&w pages, including the self-cover. 4.25" x 5.5 ", handmade, with saddle stitch binding and the leading edge nicely trimmed. It's available for 50¢ from Profanity Hill. (This is one title you won't find on Amazon.)

Candy or Medicine FCBD Special  2010Candy or Medicine Free Comic Book Special 2010 front and back covers

Candy or Medicine Free Comic Book Day Special 2010
edited by Josh Blair

Unlike some free comic book day comics, this special edition is only a sampler in the sense that it presents in-kind comics. Nothing here is reprinted from previous editions of the regular quarterly mini comic anthology, Candy or Medicine.

If you want to get a flavor of what CorM is all about, you can't go wrong downloading this free edition, which is available as a PDF file (800 kb) on the Candy or Medicine website.

Panels from CorM FCBD Special 2010

After the cover by Faminas Faminosas, editor and publisher Josh Blair contributes a silly one-page comic about a Tired Ghost.

Panels from CorM FCBD Special 2010

Tornado (3 pages) by Patt Kelley is the book's standout piece. The artwork is quite wonderful and if you enjoy quirky humor, you'll love the random progression of this whirlwind adventure.

Panels from CorM FCBD Special 2010

The one-pager) by Domen Finzgar plays an illustrated game of 5-finger fillet with a sharp pencil.

The contributors page is cleverly delivered as a comics page by Tyler Stafford (who also drew the back cover), that even includes contributor URLs.

Candy or Medicine Free Comic Book Day Special 2010 is 8 b&w pages. The printed version handed out at select comic shops is 4.25" x 5.5", printed on good quality white paper, with saddle stitch binding. For news and update on the CorM world see the Candy or Medicine blog.

The Survey Says
Thanks very much to everyone who took the time to respond to the Midnight Fiction Survey. Special thanks to D. Blake Werts and Bram Meehan for their emails and to Joe Gordon for helping to promote the survey on Twitter.

The original survey announcement was buried in a paragraph of text, part of a Midnight Ramblings update. Perhaps that's why the early response was only about ten people. To increase awareness, I posted a notice on some forums and emailed several dozen people directly. Joe suggested I Tweet it and he did the same. After a week, there were 41 responses. During the second week, there were two more. The survey was closed yesterday (Aug. 27).

Less than 100 responses makes for less than statistically valid results, but I'm grateful for the any feedback about this endeavor. Here's the results along with my comments. (Note that not all participants answered every question.)

1) How often do you visit Midnight Fiction?
6 visit more than once a week
12 visit once a week
3 visit more than once a month
10 visit once a month
12 visit less than once a month

The survey results align with traffic patterns I track through my host's analytics.That data indicates there are about 1000 regular visitors to the site and another 1000 who visit once a month or less. Site visits continue to grow from one quarter to the next, but at a slow pace. Like small press print efforts, every increase is an incremental success.

2) Rate the importance of the site's features, in terms of why you visit:

The popularity of Reviews (4.02) was no surprise. The ranking of News, History, and Interviews align with traffic patterns, with News ranking a little behind the importance of Reviews.

The importance of Comix (3.86) surprised me a bit. That makes me particularly glad to be hosting Joe Wehrle. Jr.'s Stovepipe comic story. In traffic reports, the Comix Index page gets a lot of clicks, so I've updated the page's content. It now serves as an index for all the comix on the site, but also features our previous comix series (which at the moment is Bob Vojtko's Samurai Nun.

The other result that surprised me was the ranking of Shows, at 3.07. In traffic stats, the Show pages receive a consistently high number of clicks. One way to interpret this is that visitors are not coming to the site with the expectation of show coverage, but when they arrive it is a subject of interest.

Overall, the content on the site was ranked Good or better. The Reviews and Comix just missed a rating of Great (4). I'm very pleased by these results and will make further comment on the suggestions for improvement as part of Question 6 below.

4) How would like the content delivered?
As a Website (current) 14
As a Blog 10
No strong preference for site or blog 19

Four people commented on this question. For two the gist was basically whatever was easier in terms of delivery as long as the reader's experience didn't change. Two requested an option to receive an email notification when the site has been updated.

If you'd like an email reminder just let me know. Another option is to subscribe to our RSS Feed. The schedule of feed content is:
Saturday: Midnight Ramblings
Sunday: A Review
Monday: A Review
Tuesday: A Comix

The reason I asked this question is that I've been thinking of switching the site to a Blog format. Currently I put the site together with DreamWeaver. A Blog would allow readers to comment on the content and automate the RSS feed. I may eventually switch to WordPress, but that would be a longer term proposition. For now the site will remain in its current design/format. If you have any further comments about this just let me know.

5) What update schedule do you prefer?
Weekly 13
About weekly 10
2 or 3 times a week 13
2 times a month 9
Once a month 3

Most respondents prefer weekly (or even more frequent) updates. For now I will continue with the weekly (Saturday) schedule. I assume WordPress would make postings a little easier than DreamWeaver, so it might be fun to post smaller updates more often. At the other end of the spectrum, if I moved to a less frequent schedule, I would likely spend less time on the site overall.

Some of the folks who took time to comment expressed conflicted feelings. They liked reading about new small press books every week, but found it challenging to keep up. Things that caught their interest one week, move "below the fold" the next week. They lose track of them too quickly. They suggested less frequent updates might help.

I agree, there's so much going on in self-publishing these days, it's hard to keep track of it all—and I'm only covering a sliver of it. Maybe a list of recently published books could serve as a reminder. I'll try to make some sort of reminder part of the Midnight Rambling pages.

6) What additional features would you like to see at MF.com?
I'll summarize responses and add my comments. Special thanks to the twelve readers who took the extra time to comment.

Add a Site Map. Great idea. As the site has grows, it's not always easy to see what's here. I will add this to my to do list.

I'd love an RSS Feed. Actually, there is one. But like all content on a busy site/page, not everything is easy to find. This tells me the RSS Feed needs to have a more prominent spot on the home page. I've moved it to the top of the homepage this week.

List the book's dimensions. In the reviews, the size has been listed at the end. Beginning this week I'm moving the specs to the top of the review. In Midnight Ramblings, often cover images are shown side-by-size. When they aren't scaled evenly it's hard to tell if the book is a mini comix or a digest, etc., so that's a good addition.

Ego shattering reviews that pull no punches. Not exactly my style, but I get the point. The reviews are intended to be informative, with enough information and sample artwork for readers to decide for themselves if they want to buy something. If I think one aspect or another is great, I make it a point to say so. I haven't given much ink to aspects that I think are not so great. It's fair to expect coverage of both. Still, it's very important to me that any criticism I give is constructive. I'll try to respond to this suggestion in a positive manner.

Directory of artists/creators, contact info for those actively selling minis. Here's another good idea. The Links Page is loaded with information, but chunking it would probably make it more useful. This is another project for my to do list.

Spotlight on new artist. I like this idea, but I can't promise I'll follow through on it. My time is fairly limited, but this is a great suggestion to keep in mind as a longer term goal.

Comic previews. The chance to browse small press books in person is rare, so previewing a page or two online would really help readers get a feel for a book before they decide if they want to buy it. I added a couple of pages to this week's Ramblings.

7) Rank the relative importance of Midnight Fiction as a small press resource.
Critical 11
Very Important 15
Important 13
Somewhat Important 3
Not Important at all 1

I've always loved publishing. And although I love print even more than web, the web provides easy access to a lot more readers. It's great knowing the majority of respondents (39 of 43) feel the site is contributing to the small press community. Thanks for everyone's support, feedback, and suggestions for improvement. The survey has already been helpful in driving positive changes and there will others to come.
