Now what book(s) should I do?

--Starting Georg's section
One of the major roadblocks about self-publishing poni books is of course, making sure you don't step on Hasbro's tail. That means A) you can't make money off the project, B) you can't do anything that damages their brands or endangers their copyrights in any way, and C) anything else their lawyers say.

With that in mind, I was considering making a very small Lulu (or other self-publisher) print run of a story or two, depending on finances and sales probability (i.e. I don't want a few thousand books in my garage for my great-grandchildren to deal with).

So what do you think?
A) The One Who Got Away - 25k words, small but manageable.
B) Drifting Down the Lazy River - 100k words, so 4x as expensive but still about the size of a 'book'
A + B = 125k words, or an interesting combo although a little large
C) Some compilation of my smaller, more popular G-rated stories up to around 75k (Falling Leaves of Oak, The Lazy Dragon of Dragonvale, More Precious Than Silver or Gold, Twilight Sparkle Lays an Egg, Thou Shalt Not Eat Of The Tree* )
D) The Princess Prankster series working out at about 25k (Family Reunion, On The Natural Rise and Fall of Celestial Bodies, My Brother The Tooth, My Niece The Star, Twilight Sparkle Lays an Egg)
E) A holiday collection (Yes Twilight Sparkle There Is a Santa Hooves, Hearth Warming Trappings, Escort Flight, Merry Regiftmas)
F) ___

Omg, if there was a FimFiction Library I would be in heaven! Any book you wanted to print would be perfect, and I’ll be the first in line.

I'll give the monumentally unhelpful answer of: whatever you think are your best, or whatever you'd simply like to see in print! Truth be told though, you stand a halfway decent chance of selling-out a mildly-to-moderately-sized print run of one or two things.

I'm strongly considering doing this now as well, and mulling over similar questions of what to print, how to organize it, etc. For me, I'd probably gravitate toward small print runs of:

1. My one dark/long/novel-length fic
2. My collected Limestone Pie fics (present and hypothetical-near-future)
3. Some of my other favorite stuff that I think's good

But even then, I know that running any more than... maybe 5-10 of these babies is probably naught but vanity.

Maybe combine A and C into a single approx. 100k word book. Seems like that would offer a good value and a lot to enjoy in a convenient single volume.

I'm planning on being there, planning on trying to staff the event.
If I don't see Monster I'll be very upset with you.

[Jake The Army Guy]

Either C or D, honestly.

[Olden Bronie]

I think C and D but Monster is also a good choice. But I think for the best over all selection of your works I would chose C and D.

Small story collection!

A + B for me!
