I view NFTs as enabling "digital collectibles". NFTs for art is an extension of the fact that there have been art collectors for ages. There _are_ book collectors, but that's a tiny subset of publishing.
For authors who regularly publish short fiction, I'd imagine the patronage model (Patreon) to be a bigger deal than NFTs. Maybe it's a lack of vision, but I just don't see a lot of people wanting to be able to claim "I own the first edition of Story X by Author Y."
- lacker 5y agoPatreon or Kickstarter does seem better for things like a short story. NFTs might make more sense for ultra-short fiction, like something the length of a single funny tweet. Because you can't really sell that on a Patreon, but maybe you could NFT it. But yeah like any of these not-yet-existent things, it probably won't happen.
