Yes, you overexplained.

Your reason is good, though; I shall make extra effort to not make you upset when I don't need to.

I wasn't upset. I just had some caffeine and I wasn't sure what part confused you.

The results of my OCD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_self-publishing_companies = redid and then some, plus added the template to most of them and corrected/added lots of trivial shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Self-publishing = 100% new

Lists and lists and lists...

Most importantly, when I want a webstore to sell T-shirts and mugs, or when I finally finish my book - I know where to start.

The "upset" remark was referring to online debates about various topics.

[Template:Self-publishing] is incredibly exhaustive. Well done!

Edit: Book. What's your book on?

It's my #1 project. I have a great title that I must keep secret until I buy the domain, etc. so it's work-in-progress / working title / tentatively called "Foiled Again", because a friend suggested it - like tin foil hattery. But the story has some trutherist stuff, of course, but it deals with sooooooooooo much more and certainly doesn't dwell on it - so the working title is very misleading.

But I have to work the conspiracy theory out of my system so I came up with "Trutherism 101" that supports the background of "Foiled Again" so I don't have to bog it down and if folks ask I can point them to T101, which is supported by the TT20 and Truther Newbie Crash Course, among other resources.

So the book is a screenplay / storyboard / graphic novel hybrid and can be read as any or all of the above. Also I will open source it and hope for developers to make it. If I find some success with T101 I may be able to distribute some of the work and also develop the book. And if I ever finish the T101 or the book, and if no one else bothers to pitch in and make it, I can maybe create an animatic from the storyboard. I have several other screenplays in various stages of completion. I've been working on a half dozen, some for over a decade, and they only progress when either good ideas come or when I revisit and reorganize them to fill in a little more. They all have their own strengths and purposes, but "Foiled Again" is most important.
