So the idea of making "personal copies" of a story is appealing to me inasmuch as I do similar things to similar things. I'm a big fan of making ebook anthologies of complete series' that are specifically catered to me, such as an ebook I made for all four officially released DOOM novels. I also get into mods and modding games a lot, also a DOOM related thing for me, weird.

Nothing wrong with engaging in some personalization as long as you acknowledge it's just a personal copy of something made to make some cater more to your tastes, in my opinion. Although I can see that getting messy in specific cases I think there's nothing wrong with it 9/10 times, and I really think it could be a constructive exercise.

For those who are saying it's inherently disrespectful to a creator to tinker with their work for your own personal version I'd like to point out that whole contest that happened about re-writting Jeff the Killer.
