A long road to get there, lasting nearly two years but I've finally cracked the Mendoza line. And as the story is also now boasting well over 300 tracks, I have an announcement to make:
As several readers have requested, Rise of Firefly will become a book! I have no idea whether I'll be able to get away with marketing or self-publishing one, but one way or another this will see the light of day. How soon? Not immediately. Need to commission story and cover artwork, make some maps, reformat stuff for an actual book,and figure out how I'm going to get this out the door. I'll let folks know the progress and when efforts are nearing fruition. In the meantime, thanks for reading and be looking forward to the next installment!

This is a task that may be much more involved than one might think at first. Here's to hoping that not too much clean up is needed.
Lulu is a fairly popular place to put up books for printing/purchase.
Frankly I'm amazed at how many stories on this site could be turned into books (sometimes whole series of books).
Well, this is certainly an achievement. I'm willing to step in as an editor, and I still plan on buying a(n autographed) copy of your other book now that I have a job. I just need to wait another two weeks for that paycheck and we're set to go! Also, I guess this is as good as a time as any to write that second review for Before the Storm. Give me some time to take care of other things and I'll get to you once I clear my reviewing bin.

Probably is going to be a lot of work. Can't generally use colored text in books, after all. I'll have to find a new way to represent different narrators than color.
I actually used Amazon’s self-publishing shop before when I published my anthro novel. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1500432970/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 I may try it again here but I'll check out Lulu as well.

You said it. I can honestly say I've never seen a community as creative as this one, and I say that having been involved with the furry and anime ones.

The offers are appreciated!
You'll be more than welcome to edit and I'll be looking forward to seeing your new review. I’m very flattered you would like an autographed book copy as well! 
It will be my pleasure to give you one. Oh, and sorry to ask, but did you ever do anything about the story’s submission to the Goodfic Bin? Think you said you were going to.

Yeah, but I'm on a long overdue hiatus from the group right now. I meant to get to your story right away but never got the chance to.
Oh shit, an actual paper book? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Give me time and you will have your chance!
