Printing complications · 5:38am Jul 6th, 2016
I'm afraid that I have made a discovery about the printing process of Lulu that has me concerned for this project.
After properly scaling the first volume's word document into a PDF, I have found that the word count will exceed the maximum limit of a book to be printed on Lulu.com. This will require the first volume to be split into two books, and this will only grow with later volumes as they are longer.
I will see what I can do to make this work, but the process is proving to have a few curveballs thrown in. If anyone is still interested in purchasing a copy of each half, please let me know.
That is complete and utter bullshit. Why does a print-on-demand service have a maximum book length?! Just charge more for the prints!

My fan side: "PUNY WEBSITE! GIVE! ME! BOOK!"

Found it
4071849 random thought driving me nuts.
there's a seventh element story somewhere, where. Celestia realizes they're fictional. someone mentioned it could be "imagination" because they were all created out of Lauren Faust's imagination.
I've been trying to find it for a week now!
How much would the two books be?
On the upside, it means you can have more cover art variety for every part of an arc! Shows what point you are at in the story, and perhaps what is to come via the cover art.
The Deathly Hallows was split into two parts, so you can make cover art for all parts and make them unique to the scene.
4072347 I'm afraid there's no way I can handle that. I can only afford cover art for just each volume, but not each part. It'll take too much time anyway. The artist I commission for them is very busy.
I still want them.
4072365 Shame. Oh well.
I am still interested!
Never stopped showing interest
I am interested in having every volume to this story~
