After some consideration, I’ve decided not to move forward with the MTNU Selectresque group buy. The economics of MTNU are difficult to make work, and it’s been a learning experience.
To make the set viable, we were looking at having to strip out all 40’s and 6u coverage, alternate 65/75 column keys, most of the Selectric novelties, and possibly switch to a stock blue that didn’t match the Selectric well. An international kit was doubtful. In addition, Space Cadet just came out in a similar blue, which would have made the set an even harder sell.
I didn’t feel enthusiastic about the project given all that, and moving forward didn’t seem like the right thing to do.
Selectresque will return, however. I’ll be launching a new interest check in SA profile once my work on A History of Violets is complete.
I really hope I’m not being some petulant creative diva here. I just think that if I’m not excited by a design, it will show, and buyers won’t be excited by it either. I’d rather focus on projects that I feel more confident will make people happy.
