I blame Kizuna.
And increased work load on the job.

When did MADh Vinyl actually begin? As in, what year was the first vignette, about Anna-Marie and the new shoes, photographed and posted?
I know this forum has been around since 2010-ish, which is also the copyright date on the MADh Vinyl web site, but my understanding is that the stories were previously posted to earlier forums. When did the vinyl madhness begin?

Regarding a printed book, another option would be eBook for Kindle. Color Kindles and the Kindle app for tablets and phones handle images quite well these days.
Amazon even offers "Kindle Comic Creator" to simplify the formatting of visual novels:

A question I would have about such an undertaking: what are the copyright issues, if any, involved in using "store bought" figures? Are the dolls and other toys and accessories – or, specifically images of dolls and toys – subject to "intellectual property" protections? Posting the stories online for free as a "hobby" is one thing. Attempting to sell the stories might lead to copyright and trademark complications.
After reading through this topic, I know you encountered an issue having calendars printed because of "Star Wars" imagery, even though it was fictionalized, parody versions of the "Star Wars" art that should have been allowed as "fair use" and "parody." Some years ago I wanted to have some of my Pinky Street figure photos printed (for postcards or a calendar or something), and the printer refused, citing copyright concerns over printing images featuring commercially produced toy products.
Okay, how about a relatively easy question: that cool leopard print sofa that appears in the early stories with Hyatt and Anna-Marie – did you construct that yourself, or was it an item you purchased?
