Got a question for the gang.
We have done the 100 word flash stories and on one of them I have flushed it out to about 2000 words. It is the same story. Same names involved. Same punch line.
Now the problem is this. Let's say I sell the 100 flash story to someone. Do I tell them I also have the longer story? Can I sell the longer story if the short one is sold? Do I tell the long story buyers that I also have the short one? Do I tell them if the short one is sold?
What the heck do I do and stay out of trouble?
There are several of my short flashes that I plan on making longer. Anyone else run into this before? What do the rules say about this?
My personal opinion is that in reality they are not the same story. So I should not have to disclose or be afraid to sell both of them. Is this wishful thinking? (Besides the fact I may not sell either of them...lol)
Thanks for any input you might share.
