End of Ciderfest 2023. Thank You. · 5:08am Nov 20th, 2023
I'm back home from Ciderfest 2023, and it was something. As always, the panels were great, I got to talk with and see some very cool people. It's what's expected, but I love it each and every time I come.
The big new thing was that I got to sell my book there. It was at the After Dark Vendor Hall and I even got to work and help run the AD Bookstore on my first night there. I went in, bringing twenty copies of Pinkamena: Beasts , and hoping I'd be able to even sell five.
When I left, I only had seven. I was able to sell over half my stock. And whether one of you who follows me here on Fimfiction was one that picked it up or otherwise, all I can truly say is: thank you. Thank you so, so much for all the support and following and reading of my writing. It's infrequent, but I do truly love writing for things with all my heart and soul, and love whenever I get the chance to be even better at it. Thank you.
For the future, I do have things planned. Of course, I will be updating the rest of the Chapters of Beasts of Fall to match the book versions, along with getting chapters out for some of my other stuff. I'm also looking into ways of selling the left over and extra copies of the book I have online, though that's a new venue for me so that might take some time/need some help. I'm also considering things like opening up writing comms at some point, and maybe, maybe in the far far future and if things are right, I'll look into making a full on deluxe version of the book, and go all the way with things like chapter illustrations and a hard cover. Maybe. Maybe.
But for now, I am resting, I am enjoying myself, and I am celebrating. People finally like my stuff, dislikes be damned. I'm gonna keep going, and I'm gonna keep writing. I'm a black trans dyke, and I'm proud of it.
It was cool to meet you again and hang out at the AD vendor hall!
Thanks again for having fun with us, and congrats on the sales!
