Pain by The Authors of Pain: The debut poetry collection from WWE tag team and literary powerhouse The Authors of Pain. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SFN64R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ykaZAbGJNERA0
Full Story - I thought it was really ridiculous that there's a tag team called "The Authors of Pain" and they've never actually written a book called Pain, so I got a bunch of my friends together to write it for them. Originally it was just a digital book, but you guys really dug it so I formatted it for paperback and it's now available on Amazon for $4.

You can still download a free pdf of it at http://supercolliderpress.com/
It's a book of bad poetry from the perspective of Akam and Rezar and with a foreword by Paul Ellering. This thing took several months to put together and I could not be more proud of this. Former WWE writer Matt McCarthy, the head writer of Kayfabe News, the creator of Botched Spot and RD Reynolds of Wrestlecrap.com and a bunch of other really funny writers even contributed pieces. Now it's a literal, physical book which is insane to me.
Edit: Regarding all of the comments about the legality of this, I have a few friends that are parody book publishers that I talked this over with. I'm certainly in a legal grey area, but I doubt this thing is going to set the world on fire sales wise and it's available as a free download at the previously posted Supercollider Press page so I'm definitely not trying to get rich off of it. I mainly created the paperback because a bunch of people in the old thread asked for copies. If I'm asked to take it down, I will but until then I'm not super worried about it. Regardless, the heads up is appreciated.
Watched AOP perform live on the NXT House show circuit in Tampa before they made it on Television. Both dudes were green wearing cheesy face masks and constantly got heat and shit on by the local fans. The switch once they made it on to TV was night and day, they picked up big time and despite the one serious botch were relatively safe big men who made everything look real and had an aura about their team.
Sad to see them move on but at least they still have a career in free-verse poetry if they so decided:

Although /u/alexsbradshaw posted this elsewhere, I thought this deserved its own post.
Champions is an anthology featuring more than thirty stories from the monthly writing competition over at /r/fantasywriters. It's now available at Amazon, Amazon UK and free at Smashwords (If it's not showing up as free on Amazon Alex suggests reporting a lower price using the Smashwords link)
Please check it out and thanks to Alex for organising all of this!
I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but this is what I think you're asking: if you wrote the stories then you can publish them. They are yours. Someone actually did exactly this, publishing their /r/WritingPrompts stories on Amazon.
Edit: also, there are a lot of authors that have published books that expanded on prompt responses.
I am one of those who cant afford at the moment to be a Patreon subscriber, but absolutely think you deserve it. Which puts me in a bit of a moral crux. I have enjoyed (for free) so many stories you have written on WP that I feel a bit guilty for not being able to donate. I have however recommended your work to many a friend, and I don't know if any of them have become a Patreon, I like to think if they have then in some way I have still helped out. On another note I also remember a while back you put a bunch of your stories together into an e-book and put it up on Amazon. I did purchase this, maybe releaseing a 2nd book like this is another way you can supplement your income? all in all I enjoy the short story aspect of WP as it helps me get through the slower days at work and I don't have to invest in a full novel that can take days to read. Thank you for being an awesome writer and sharing your gift with us.
Go to Amazon and search for "Prompt me". You already have your wish.
In fact, I'll do it for you: https://www.amazon.com/Prompt-Me-W-P-Kimball-ebook/dp/B014S7TDIK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477362928&sr=8-1&keywords=prompt+me
As mentioned elsewhere, I do have a collection of my stories on Amazon, as well as the option to buy it in ePub or PDF format here.

Hey, not only is it not Wednesday where I am ... it's Friday...
TWO WEEKS. eek.
Ooh. I keep looking at my short stories and think about doing a collection... have you looked at our /r/fantasywriters anthology? /u/alexsbradshaw created this from scratch and a stack of winning challenge entries. He might have some advice, if you were interested. But if you’ve published on Amazon, you’re experienced anyway.
Don’t forget to include a link. Promotional links are all good in the check-in.
And yes! Self-publish! Why not! Have you visited /r/selfpublish?

Also the link for the anthology with the story of the hot springs is listed hereUkraine Anthology (zodiac academy Seth and Caleb story included)
The Seth/Caleb novella is in this anthology (releasing 4/5) which has a ton of other fantasy/romance authors contributing as well: https://www.amazon.com/Nightingale-Anthology-Ukraine-Skye-Warren-ebook/dp/B09VF4DZYK .

Dead Man's Hand: An anthology of the Weird West
HOW THE WEST WAS WEIRD!
From a kill-or-be-killed gunfight with a vampire to an encounter in a steampunk bordello, the weird western is a dark, gritty tale where the protagonist might be playing poker with a sorcerous deck of cards, or facing an alien on the streets of a dusty frontier town. Here are twenty-three original tales—stories of the Old West infused with elements of the fantastic—produced specifically for this volume by many of today’s finest writers.
I bought full Forward collection on Amazon.com.
But if some kindle store does not support grouping, shouldn't all books be visible in the library anyway (i.e. separately)?

The Forward Series, it's free on amazon prime reading, it's a collection of several short stories - each one written by a different author. I find the series is similar to black mirror - each one involves a bit of sci-fi/technology futuristic type stuff.. fun reads.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WK7PVFT?ref_=dbs_r_series&storeType=ebooks
I wouldn't pay $1.99 each or even the $5.94 for the bundle of 6 (not good enough to offset the length to make it worth the $$$) but https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WK7PVFT
​
EDIT: Looking now, not seeing the $5.94 bundle, but I remember seeing it last night. *shrug*
For those that don't know about it, here is the Book of Pain by the AOP:
Hey! Super cool to hear that you want to read our book :D Unfortunately, the free offer was only before the real book was published to get early reviews on Amazon. The book is for sale now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B079CS1TK2 but the good news is that it's only $2.95 on kindle!
>'Artemis' is a hunter, Aquarius the water-bringer of peace.
:) Yes, indeed, they sure are. And if you <em>really</em> like puzzles, see if you can work out which story is mine. Don't cheat and search the subreddit. But you can search the rest of the Internet. You might win something. :)
Dead Man's Hand has a similar story in it, just not in roguelike mechanics. I don't want to post spoilers, but some people have a deck of cards that give them powers. It's a good book that's basically a compilation of short or novella length western stories with a Lovecraft feel to them. There are several stories, skinwalkers, deals with the devil, etc.
> Have you ever commissioned illustrations for any of your pieces?
Yes, I commissioned the cover art for both of my books: [Prompt Me], and Rex Electi.
But I do wish that I got more fan art from people.
> In a similar vein, are you a visual-type of person, say, imagining what the characters actually look like when you write about them?
Yes, very much. I picture everything happening in my mind, and its often a question of how much I want to go into detail; I can't go off onto a tangent that isn't relevant to the story.
Yes, there is another in my book [Prompt Me] that wasn't published on Reddit.
