If we're going to compile stories into a book, it might be a good idea
to create some guidelines.
For example:  How many people want to contribute, how many pages to
shoot for on the book,
and therefore how long the stories should be.  It could be twenty or
thirty stories of ten pages each.
Ten stories of  twenty or thirty pages each. or two hundred stories of
one page.
BTW what is the PIF?
