OMGOMGOMGOMG!
Just heard back from the publisher I sent my book to:
I think the book is very interesting and we would be interested in publishing it.
"I think the book is very interesting and we would be interested in publishing it."
"I think the book is very interesting and we would be interested in publishing it."
"I think the book is very interesting and we would be interested in publishing it."
This is relevant to the situation:

Is this the part where you spread cigars to all your friends?

It's difficult to pass out cigars over the internet, or I totally would.
How about some new fanfic in the next day or so, instead?

That's even better because I don't smoke.
This calls for a whole lot of Yay!
(Okay, that's probably enough Yay!)
Alright I'm so happy for you!

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! I'm so excited for you!!

This book has taken eleven and a half years, from the original idea to finishing it. During that time, it turned from high fantasy to AU noir, three of the characters did a face/heel turns, one character got cut (or at least pushed to the sequel), two characters fell in love, and I don't know how many times I changed my mind about magic powers.
Um, what I'm saying is just keep writing. You'll find a book in the mess that someone wants to read, eventually.

Oloris Publishing. It's a small press, and I haven't even worked out the details yet so it's probably not safe to drop my name. Also, I would highly recommend you finish the book before you contact them, since most publishers won't even deal with a first time author who hasn't finished their book and your age would just add to their hesitance.

It's set in an AU 1930's and, well, have a blurb!
(Interesting notes: While it is about as far from pony fanfic as you can get, it's still actually about the magic of friendship. Go figure!
Also this book kept me from watching MLP for about six months, because I saw enough of MLP to worry that my hillbilly tomboy could be influenced by Applejack if I wasn't careful. I'm now sure that they're totally different characters, but I did come into fandom having written the southern accent for most of a novel already.

Nice man. Congratz and good luck.
338584 Thank you for posting this twice! I am sure you are quite excited
338598 Holy shit, that sounds awesome!
What's the title?
338611
You're welcome! It's like a little present, who doesn't like more notifications?
338615
Pierside, unless the publisher can come up with something better. I'd love something better but after a long time and eliminating a lot of more exciting titles, that was all I had.
338629 Sounds good!

Elvati Pier(a title that came to mind, it doesn't sound too good
338598
That would explain why your interpretation of Applejack seems so natural, hm. Besides, what stereotype young hillbilly girl ISN'T a rough l'il tomboy firecracker?
YAY!
go over the contract carefully...
Oh, with small press, order books they are publishing now, read them, see if you like them; contact the authors, talk to them, see if they're really angry about anything (like not getting paid).

It's a noir style novel set on a version of earth with a similar but magical history, during the 1930's.
I often have trouble expressing the combination of 1930's era tech and society, an occasionally violent but mostly darkly emotional plot, and a magical element that's altered the history and political geography of the world. Attempt #43: Unsuccessful.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!
May I ask what publishing house and what book
338924
It's a small press, Oloris Publishing. And there's a short summery in the comments above, but it's called Pierside.

Just caught the edit. Actually, the publisher is a subsidiary of a group called The Middle-earth Network, which my husband is involved with as a volunteer. He knows the publishing arm in passing, and some of the people he works with on his projects with have had books published through them and have good things to say, so I feel pretty confidant about them. They aren't a springboard to fame and fortune, but in terms of getting a book out there and marketing, they're pretty creative and professional.
Congratulations!
I am very happy for you. Truly.
It always makes me smile when others get what they deserve.
From what I have seen of your writing on here, I would be interested in this book of yours.
Congrats!
Well done! Do let us know when it hits shelves or gets turned into a movie. Cause that is whats going on with most books these days.
