I write fiction and I'd like to sell my work as notecards (I've looked into ThinC and other systems, but I decided not to go that way).

I set up a group and was planning to post notices when there are new stories available (notice with attached notecard to pay a set amount of L$), but however I set the permissions of my notecards, they either are viewable to the members (an alt

for free or not viewable at all.

My question: is it possible to sell notecards via a group or do I need to go about it a different way?

Thanks in advance!

Well...your question definitely has nothing to do with Scripting or Scripting Tips...but...

...it is possible to sell notecards through a group by sending a notice and saying "If you'd like to buy a notecard, pay me L$ x and I'll send it to you".

...however, I'd recommend selling your notecards through a simple vendor system.

you can also simply box up the notecard(s) and set the box for sale.

Keep in mind that if you sell information via notecards, it is trivial for a buyer to cut and paste the information to give it to someone else without paying for it.
