The print version of Fractured Sunlight is now available! · 2:01pm Aug 3rd, 2018
Howdy folks! This is what you've really all been waiting for, right?
I guess I have more to announce this week than just a contest.
Turns out formatting books for print is hard and also I'm kind of lazy. But hey, better late than never.
The black and white version of Fractured Sunlight can be purchased here.
This is done through Lulu, and the price is set to be at cost, meaning I get 0 profit from any of this. This is all just for you guys.
A big thank you to Novel Idea and Djazz for helping me with the cover for this and the formatting. And of course, another thank you to all the people who helped make the story possible during its original run, with editing by Dubs Rewatcher, Kalan, and r5h, and all the art by Kare-valgon and Zorbitas.
And of course, thanks to you all for reading it. I hope you enjoy it again.
I'm tempted. Remind me of this blog later tonight and I'll probably pick up a b&w copy. I am at work right now.

I'm going camping this weekend, most likely won't have internet for a few days.
Color: Ordered.

I was supposed to do that this weekend, but California is on fire.

That was terrible. Never change.
Nice
I'm sorely temped.
Awesome!
Remind me when Life has stopped making me its bitch
Haven't read the story myself, but I might pick up the B&W version at some point.
But $80+ for the colour version? Yeah, that's a huuuuuge jump in price. I'm guessing it changes the paper type throughout the whole book on top of using colour ink where applicable. That' still a huge premium, it's basically quadruple the price of the B&W version.
How many images are there anyway, and are they all in colour, or are some natively B&W?
I couldn't resist and bought a copy of both. I love this story so much!

Lulu sets the price, and it probably varies by region. Color is only $50 in America.
Theres one full color picture, and several Auth splashes of color here and there. I wouldn't get the color version myself, but figured some people might like it.
Does the black and white version have a colored dust jacket? Or is the cover black and white too?

Cover is still colored either way, it's the illustrations that are black and white.

Ah cool that'll probably be the one I get then.
Is there a casewrapped color version?
A B&W ordered
Thank you so much!
Fractured Sunlight is hands down the best fanfic I've read during my six years in the fandom, it beats My Little Dashie, Past Sins, Fallout Equestria and a lot of other big shots. Atleast in my opinion.
I've been waiting for this one every since you first mentioned it being converted to book format.
Thank you so much, you really made my day.
YES
I'M SO GOING TO BUY ONE
Wait, what's the difference between the full colour and B&W? I thought most of the illustrations weren't colored in anyway.

Most aren't, there's a a full color illustration in chapter 13, the one with the sunset in chapter 14, and a few others with splashes of color here and there, like blushes.
My copies just arrived today and they are beautiful!

I got my copy this morning!
I'll treasure it forever!
Arrived in three days flat, too. Fastest I've ever seen.
I just found the package in my backyard, we have a strange mailman indeed. I'm so happy to finally have the story as a real life book. I couldn't take two weeks of camp without my favourite story.
For some reason it's not letting me add it to my cart?

Noticed the same problem myself, but it worked when I logged into my account?
If that doesn't work, will probably have to contact Lulu support.

I tried making an account and logging in, but that didn't seem to work either. I guess I'll contact support.
Lulu was having a lot of difficulties when they update the site. I was able to get my account back from them, but it took a few weeks and they’re no longer accepting phone calls because of how busy they are. When I went to check out my order history, it appears that Fractured Sunlight had disappeared from the site. It was listed as an unknown item. When I clicked the links here, I got an internal error.

The Black and White version seems to still be working, but the color version got set to a private listing and I can't figure out how to make it a direct access link again. I've contacted support to see if it's still possible.

Hopefully it works out! Gotta get those gay skittle gals in gay hues edition.
Are there more copies of this book? The link doesn't work anymore. 😢

Apologies. Link should be working again.
