Via an off-handed link lodged in Nick Mamatas' virtual battle of wits with Jason Pettus, I just discovered a happy little publishing company. Go check out BenBella Books, a sweet house with a LiveJournal page and an even sweeter book series called Smart Pop.
I dig the company style, mixing up academic publishing with the obsessive, interactive love of fan fiction. In the future, these nimble, community-centered companies will set the publishing standard.

"We only publish books that we care passionately about, books that are exciting, fun or profound. We'd rather publish fewer books than publish anything we aren't crazy about. But we aren’t snobs. Just because a book is intelligent doesn't mean it can't also be fun."
Hey, thanks for pointing this out to me as well! And great interview with Jim Munroe, by the way; I'm a big fan of his.
