If an “it” is transported, does “it” arrive as two persons ?

Wish real user manuals were as well written - as opposed to apparently being translated from Chinese after being translated from Klingon.

Noticed one of your comments got zotted.

Understand Free Republic has a no-solicitation policy. I generally approve.

That said one of the hardest things for new authors is to get noticed. The publishing game is tough. Any help from other Freepers would be appreciated.

Wonder if there is a way to link to Amazon without being considered solicitation? Not sure if there is.

I guess this means that only liberals need apply?😉

DANGER: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY PART OF THIS TELEPORTER BE PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.

Does this count as the Prop-65 warning? I mean how would we know if eating this device causes cancer if it doesn't have the warning? I am also very concerned note about not hiring of color-blind people. Shouldn't this class as well as all visually challenged people be given a preference? Or is this product just not available in California?

Hypothetically speaking and noting the caveat about the 5 llamas arriving as an amalgamated “collage” - are there specific statements in the Terms & Conditions of Use that only what is transported out can be subsequently sent back in? Or is the equipment already designed to automatically prevent such a situation? (i.e., could some alien of exact same mass as a person teleporting out from earth intentionally or inadvertently transport itself here - ?)
So many questions.....
Best, locountry1dr

This reminds me of Star Blecch from Mad Magazine #115, December 1967.

Although I never wrote any Sci-Fi, I grew up reading everything other worldly that I could get my hands on, starting in the mid-fifties. You definitely have a talent for these types of stories.

Based on what I learned about Amazon over the years, you are probably going to want to check out Ingram Spark for future self-publishing. Your work will be presented in more venues, and you will also retain full control over your publications. My first publisher was the only outfit that sued Amazon and won over some of their devious practices, so be wary of them.

Also, be careful of Barnes and Noble. They have been known to order a bunch of books and then, after a long time, return them, which can bankrupt a starting author because you have to pay for the printing and shipping costs.

The best way to market your books is to attend events that attract sci-fi readers and rent a table space. I spent several years on the road before Covid hysteria settled us in NC. Although I didn’t make much money, we certainly ate well and stayed in top shelf hotels, plus made a lifetime of new friends.
