    AO3 Account + Helluva Boss Story

    Hey all, just a bit of an update blog.

    I've finally polished up my AO3 account after releasing my latest story there, my first one for Helluva Boss and my second non-pony story in literally years. I am very proud of it, so I encourage you to check it out. I blew through this story in a week, something I've not experienced for over a year.

    Any Other Writers Going to CiderFest?

    I'm planning on attending my first CiderFest this year, and I'm applying for a panel, there. I have a lot to say about platonic affection's importance in humans and its wide prevalence in the fanfiction of our fandom, being sort of a specialist in it. Ideally though I'd like to have one or two other co-panelists to help guide and create discussion both among the panelists and with the audience.

    Did you count the moons again like I told you to?
    You can use them to see how much longer it'll be before I come back again.

KoLB is for Sale! Come Get your Hugging Bugs in Physical Print! · 12:37am Oct 13th, 2021

Please PM me if you are interested in purchasing a copy for yourself. KoLB is currently link-only access for security purposes. Price info below. :heart:


Hello, everyone. Welcome to KoLB's last major blog update. :pinkiesad2:

It's done. :raritystarry: No more editing, no more drafting, no more ordering to test printing. You, dear reader, can now order your very own book about bug ponies. :moustache:

And two months ahead of schedule, too! I'd originally planned on getting the book printed by December (the 26th is its' six-year anniversary). Maybe I'll do something else special for that day, instead. :ajsmug:



The book is $44.07. It is hardcover bound, has a glossy cover finish and comes with 39 exclusive black and white artworks done by my good friend, CitreneSkys. :twilightsmile: It clocks in at 776 pages, a number inflated by generous paragraph spacing and font size for those who, like me, don't like to struggle through blocks of tiny text on a page. :rainbowwild:

The four copies pictured are for my editor, two artists, and cover title maker (text artist?) who all had a massive impact on the creation of this book. These copies are signed by myself, which is why they were mailed to me first.

While I am not opposed to offering signed versions of the book via mail like this for anyone who asks, it's not something that'll be very time or cost-effective for me at the moment. For the time being, I recommend the un-signed version that ships to you directly from Lulu. :raritywink: I plan on attending Babscon 2022, so for any con-goers out there, that's a chance for a signed copy should you choose to buy directly. :rainbowdetermined2:

Thank you for reading! :pinkiesmile:


Live long and cuddle your changelings, everypony.

oh Tartarus yes :rainbowdetermined2:

Imma boost this bitch tomorrow.

Oh heck yeah!!!

Yo that look sick man

WOO! Exciting!

I'm gonna have to hope there's still some left when I get a new job and my first paycheck! At the same time I hope these sell well for you dude!

It's print on demand, the ones in the blog are just ones I ordered to me first to personally sign. :) No risk of running out. Thank you!

You may have gotten it done ahead of the KoLB anniversary, but you got it pretty close to the MLP finale anniversary (either on the exact date or the day after, depending on the timezone, and if I'm not mistaken, this blog may have been published at around the same hour of the day as when s9e25 started airing a year ago), so I'd count it as a win regardless :raritywink:

Awesome can't wait!

Feels like the end of an era.

Link on Lulu? Or is it not up yet?

5595247
Link isn't public for security reasons. Gotta send a pm. :twilightsmile:

5595119
I'm going to wait until Friday to boost this, because I don't want it to conflict with a post I need to make tomorrow. I want maximum exposure for this.

Wow! And you even include illustrations too.

5595540
You are a scholar and a saint, my dear. :raritydespair: So helpful even in the aftermath. Thank you again for all your help. :pinkiesad2:

BUT BUT BUT... BUT! I haven't even read the story yet! :twilightoops:

5595178
...that is insane, yeah, October 12th, the same day as The Ending of the End. I never even realized. That is some poetic coincidence, considering the first epilogue takes place in the aftermath of that episode. :pinkiesad2:

5595649
A great time to start! :raritywink:

...make that tomorrow. Trust me, it will be worth the wait. :V

5596222
:rainbowlaugh: Not that I obviously mind either way, but I had a moment around like 7 pm today just genuinely curious if you'd made a blog yet, saw you hadn't, and was like, 'yeah it's gonna be tomorrow' lmao!

My bookshelves are already overflowing, yet I am tempted by the desire to add yet one more book to my collection.

If it helps you decide at all, I'm told by certain ponefic collectors that my print has the most unique artworks of almost any book around, so apparently it's unique in that regard. :moustache:

I haven’t been keeping up with the story for to long… but congratulations! I didn’t know that FiM writers can sell their stories as books?

That’s cool and wish you all the luck!

Fan fiction is a legal grey area. :moustache: Can't distribute the book at retailers, but selling it individually to folks won't cause any harm as long as there's a disclaimer, which there is. :twilightsmile:

Thank you!

:trollestia: Time to use this “gray area” to my advantage mwhahaha :moustache:

5656090

5679906
