    Seashell: getting closer to print!

    Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
    83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
    Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

    Jinglemas 2023, done!

    I wrote this thing for Penguifyer, and today is my assigned day to deliver the gift, so I guess this is when the story drops:

    TLost
    Twilight, on her new wings, couldn't find her way around Cloudsdale. It may have left more of mark on her than she wants to admit. Written for Jinglemas 2023.

    I'm pleased to be able to say progress is being made, although to temper the good news, it hasn't been entirely easy.

Seashell: getting closer to print! · 3:55pm March 15th

Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

So yeah, I've been making progress. Definitely on track have copies in time for EFNW '24, or possibly earlier if you want to have me mail you one. Catch me at Everfree, though, and I'll autograph your copy!

I'm still not sure how many copies of the hardcover first edition to print. I'm thinking ten right now? I don't think I want to do too many more than there's a demand for, if only for the practical reason that I don't need a bunch of extra copies of the same book sitting around taking up space.

I didn't think working on a book would be as fun as it has been so far. Or maybe I'm just a big dork Twilight Sparkle :twilightsmile: Either way, the finish line is getting closer and that's exciting. See you there!

I’m glad you’re having fun getting your book ready to print. And I definitely would like a copy when I see you at Everfree!

And it’s fine to be like Twlight…I think we all are, a little bit!:twilightsmile:

Looking forward to it! Pity I won't be at EFNW for a signed copy.

Personally I would like a hardcover edition of Seashell, though if there weren't enough to go around I'd be fine with the paperback. I'm not sure, but I think Seashell was the first story of yours that I read, and though I'm normally apprehensive about rewrites of stories I like, I look forward to seeing what you've done with it!

Won't be at EFNW but certainly would like a hardcopy if there are enough copies available. :twilightsmile:

I cannot attend EFNW but would love to purchase one, love this fic :twilightsmile:

If at all possible I'd love to be send a hardcover copy. I love in Europe so I won't be able to attend the con. S&H costs are fine, I'll gladly pay for those (and the book itself obv).

I would love a hardcover copy of Seashell (or a paperback, I'm not picky). Seashell and Ghost Lights were integral parts of my becoming who I am today (long story lol) but sadly I don't live anywhere near the Northwest. Hope you have a good time, though!
