So, Who Wants To Sell Their Ponyfiction At a Convention? · 8:31pm Sep 21st, 2023
Hey guys! Been quiet for a few months, but this time it’s because I’ve been cooking up some secret fun stuff with the dozens and dozens of volunteers for Ponyville Ciderfest’s Storytelling Adventure rather than depression! I’m real excited for you all to see the stuff we’ve done, but it’s not time yet! Soon, though.
(Although if you want to be there in person, tickets are on sale![/shill])
That said, there is a way you can get involved in the festivities in the immediate future. To stop burying the lede; we're gonna be doing a Ponyfic Bookstore at the con, and, well, we want your Ponyfic books there to be sold!
Much like with the Bronycon store and the EFNW store, our plan is get a bunch of physical books at a vendor booth to sell to con-goers. You will be responsible for getting the books printed and physically to the con, and for getting them back if they don't sell, but most of the income of the sales will go back to you, and we have a few plans for helping you cut the costs of printing and shipping the books.
And let me just say, as a rabbid fan of ponywords, nothing is quite as hype for your fans being able to own their favorite stories by you and display them.
(Pictured: Hype materialized. Also, two of my several discretionary spending problems.)
The deadline to submit and have your books ready to print is the 8th of October. You can do so via the link here.
As someone who was there at the last Bronycon, the bookstore really was a great experience, and I really want to bring that to Ciderfest, so please, submit your books. Even if you don't have books to submit, pass this around! Make sure your friends and favorite authors who do have books see this! We're celebrating authors in the fandom this year, and we want to make sure as many authors who want be involved, are involved, and we want the fans of those authors to be able to support them and get something special. Every little bit helps.
So, yeah, I'm real excited for what we've got planned, and I am excited for this bookstore. This is gonna be great, guys, and I can't wait to see it all come together.
Welp, I have no stories which were ever reproduced in Dead Tree Format.
...unless these crazy Russians did that too. Like, seriously, one of my fics is apparently insanely popular there.
And I don't think I'll manage to get to a USA con

Then spread the word, brother! Every little bit helps.
Done ^^
Already submitted my books! Didn't sell as many of them at Everfree as I'd hoped, so hopefully this round they'll do a little better.

By all means, send us your leftover stock! No need to let that go to waste!
Boosted! Also, that is an *excellent* stack of dead tree fanfic.
