I'd still like to know particulars. How long did the whole process take? How much were donations? (I know she probably wouldn't want to divulge that!) How long was the entire work up after the last chapter was written? How long was it up after the award was announced?
Did people believe that that, by donating during production, that would be all the money she would ever receive for her work, and that the book would remain forever free on the internet? That doesn't seem like a realistic expectation to me.
One would have to have a lot, lot, lot more clout than any beginning author, regardless of awards won, to convince a print publisher that it was okay to leave the whole book up on a website, for free, once a print edition was in the offing.
