Reprinting a story
In Dragons and Dreams, there's a short story called Sunflower about a character named Butterfly-Fairy. BF has rather taken over my new collection, Fairies and Fireflies - all the stories in it are either about her or her friends, and they all take place in the Wide Wild Field.
Question: should I reprint Sunflower in F&F with a note that it also appeared in D&D? or should I put a note in the front of F&F and say that BF also has a story in D&D?
I could also pull it out and have it be a permafree story as advertisement for F&F.
F&F is pretty much aimed at a much younger set than D&D was; D&D covered a wide range of ages, and F&F is pretty much aimed at 3-6. (another collection being worked on, Quests and Fairy Queens, is aimed at 6-10 or so)
The completest in me says I should include the extra story, so all of BF's stories are in one place. But maybe people would be upset if they've already bought D&D to find a repeated story?
I'm probably over-thinking this, but I'm tired, and trying to decide what I should do before I hand the document over to my artist.
