Self-Publishing Advice Requested?

Assuming anyone is online who has done this?

Any experience with Amazon's Create Space? What did you do? Pros/Cons?

Thanks.

OUAT...

So, I got curious about why the writers chose to get rid of a character I liked and found fascinating in the third season, who I felt needed to be explored in greater depth and how lots of potential.

Thought it would be covered in the OUAT S3 DVD commentaries - but it doesn't appear to be, since neither of the head writers appears to be doing a major commentary on the character.

I googled it. And this is what I found:

More OUAT...spoilery thoughts via the writers of the series

Found this tid-bit which answers various questions. For example? The events in Wonderland were before this season of OUAT, and the authors have an end-game. They've actually plotted the whole series out ahead of time, where each season is headed and what the very end of it will be.

( spoilers - they are pretty vague, but there are folks on my flist who hate those...so it's cut for them )

Okay these two aren't spoilery at all :

Is there going to be a major character death this season?
Kitsis: I hope so.

Seriously? What is it with these bloodthirsty television writers and character deaths.
I got news for you - it doesn't make the series more gripping, or more realistic.
Earn the dang deaths. Oh well, at least on this show - people don't come back from the dead, unlike some superhero/gothic vampire/and daytime serials I won't mention.
In addition - why do the writers always resurrect the villains but permanently kill off the nice guys (note not the heroes, I mean characters like Tara.)


Do you have your series end game planned?
Kitsis: Yes. We have had our series end game from when we created the series. We have a road map, and we’ve allowed ourselves a lot of freedom, but it was never our intention to say, “Here’s exactly what we’re going to do.” But we know where we’re leading to.
Horowitz: And if you’re asking whether we know what we’d like the last moment of the series to be, yes, we do.

Hmm...I'm not sure if this a good thing or a bad thing. TV is hard to plan effectively ahead of time, due to the fickleness of networks and audiences. There's no guarantees - just as the creators of Babylon 5 and Farscape - who did the same thing. On the other hand, Lost and BSG were flying by the skin of their teeth for a bit there, and realized oops we really should put together an end game. But there was Breaking Bad - which according to its creator did not have a clear plan in place, just a general idea - ie, Walt would die at the end, and it would be sort of Macbethian.
