Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

    There's where you go.

    If you don't have money, fair enough. I've been there, done that. If you do and don't care, fuck off.

    The zines are for sale.

    I'll just bump you folks over to twitter for details, but the short version is they're $5 each, $2 USA shipping, $4 international, and I have two pony ones, A Twilight Trio (Unhorsed, Apex, Dreaming of Dragons) and Tender is the Night.

    It exists. :3

    That, my friends, is a zine, or a tiny, handmade book, containing three of my recent stories. Right now I'm working on getting them out to the Patrons, and after that I will be selling them in some way or another.

    Zines! AKA tiny books!

    I never managed to get on the pony book bandwagon. I just... self publishing is hard, okay? :P But zines are at least marginally less hard, I only have to wrestle with Libre Office, not with some printer's completely unfamiliar absolutely everything.

    Any Hades fans out there?

    I do actually have a pony story coming up! (On Patreon on Monday, here on Fimfic on Wednesday! Just a cute little erotica short, but it's one I particularly liked!)

    But I'm also currently in the middle of writing Hades story number four in just the last week, so, uh... On a bit of a roll there!

Minor emergency beanie sales · 11:48pm Mar 3rd, 2015

I figure I should mention this here, since I know a few of you guys are also fans of my plushes. Basically, I am having a minor fiancial pinch, and I figure since I don't know if I'll be hitting any pony cons, I might as well just sell off a few of the beanies I've been making for them.

So there are two Discords and four princesses available. (Edited update: Celestia, Cadance, and Chrysalis are sold, Twilight is still available.) :twilightsmile:

Further details on the Discords.
Further details on the princesses.

Questions welcome. :pinkiehappy:

P.S. My webstore is also always open, where you can order all kinds of different plushes, including batponies, cute ball plushes, and way more beanies! Stuff ordered from there takes 4-6 weeks for me to make and ship out to you.

You should try putting some up on ebay, it would take longer but you might get more money.

2847298 In my experience, no, I would not get more money. I have NEVER once had an e-bay sale go for more than the base value of the plush I was trying to list. In fact frequently they go for less. Occasionally so much less that I've lost money. Also ebay takes their cut of everything, on top of paypal fees. It ends up not being even remotely worth it, especially not in a situation like this where I really can't afford to wait a whole week or more.

Eeeerrrrgghh, my wallet :applecry: … if I was still working five days a week and had a reasonable luxury budget, I know exactly what I would do with three of those four princesses, but with my reduced hours this is a hard year for me too.

I should have the discretionary cash to help you out by picking one, at least, so let's do it this way. If two out of three of Celestia, Cadance, and Chrysalis get spoken for, I would like to put in a claim on the remaining one. (Sorry, Purplesmart, no love for you. :facehoof:) If you get to the need-money point and there are several still available, shoot me a PM and I'll pick one. If all three of them get snatched up by other buyers, I can save my money with a clear conscience and make a point of picking one up later.

BRB signal-boosting.

(BTW, what size are they?)

Oh man, I really want that Celestia. :twilightoops:

*contemplates wallet*

So, uh, I know this doesn't help move your existing stock, but how would you feel about a Small Beanie Pony commission of... well... this guy?

It's not "four princesses", it's "three princesses and queen Chrysalis".

2847748 That is delightful of you! :twilightsmile: They are ten inches long. Though Celestia is longer if you count her ridiculous tail.

2847929 That is definitely possible. I do cutie marks with applique, so they are a bit fuzzy around the edges, so to speak, especially on the very small plushes, but quite possible to do.

2848552 It is simultaneously a relief to my wallet and a disappointment to my avarice that you appear to have sold all three of the ones I had my eye on. Mostly I'm glad that you're getting such a good response to the sale!

I shall definitely make a point of picking one up after my budget calms down.

2850316 Well, I might not have if you hadn't given me the signal boost, I suspect. So thanks!

I can't take all the credit for that — you actually have more followers than I do, and our posts are running roughly equal in views. But I'm really glad I could help! :twilightsmile:

2850726 :rainbowderp: ...wow. In what world do I have more followers than you? That feels really strange. You are one of the "holy crap I want to be that good someday" people for me.

2850831
In this one! :twilightblush: Thank you for the kind words. However, don't sell yourself short. :)

(One factor in my lower base is my own fault; I stalled out on Hard Reset 2, which was my biggest follower surge in the same way that Honey Pie was yours. But I also write a lot of weird complex stuff that doesn't "sell" well, and even when my stories are well-admired … well, The Iridescent Iron Rat, the runaway winner of the last Writeoff Association contest, is an obscure sci-fi crossover starring an OC. That gets me rabid fans in its target niche but is three strikes for the featurebox crowd. It just barely limped into the Featurebox despite an Equestria Daily feature and a fairly-high-profile signal boost.

Guess I need to write more about the Mane Six getting drunk. :raritywink:)

2850872 I have that on my read later list (so I will get to it sometime next year...)

I find it so odd sometimes what people like. And occasionally frustrating. (In All But Name, I am looking at you. You are terrible, saccharine glurge with no plot whatsoever, that I only wrote and published to piss a specific person who really annoyed me off. Why did YOU get featured?)

2850888
I hear you loud and clear. (cough cough the friggin' tea story cough)
