Long Road to Friendship: Print Run · 8:09pm May 25th, 2018
Remember way last year when I said a print version of Long Road to Friendship was in development?
It's ready!
Sorry about the long wait, folks! We had a few hiccups along the road, but we're ready for our first English print run!
Clocking in at over 600 pages, you too can have a physical copy of Sunset's long road to redemption and love! Complete with pictures! Sadly, due to a slight manufacturing error, the first run has the pictures in black and white only. But, if we sell all those, we might be able to get the next round in color!
So, hop on over to the Ministry of Image and order your copy today!
(Note in case any one from any legal team reads this: a reminder that no revenue is earned from this. Payment covers production and shipping costs only.)
I honestly don't know how to feel right now. I'm holding a copy of my work in my hand. It's a little surreal. I'm going to keep it right here on my desk. Maybe I'll allow myself to have an iota of pride tomorrow. And maybe this summer... I'll show my family.
100000 thank yous to Lezvion and his team for making this all possible! Seriously, thank you so much!
More than an iota, and you earned that feeling.
Very cool! Is this a limited time rhing, or will it be available for the foreseeable future?
Congrats man! And like other people have said, you deserve to feel a lot more than a little bit of pride. You've written a nice, large, hefty book, and you can hold it in your hands. That's the dream of many writers.

As long as it keeps selling well, I think it'll be around for a while.
And ordered.
That $30 shipping is rough though.
Congratulations! It looks very impressive - hardcover, nice enigmatic art.
EDIT: Who did the illustrations, both outside and in the book?
SO AWESOME, I MUST HAVE ONE
My copy is in customs right now, can't wait for it to arrive soon! Thank you The Albinocorn and Ministry of Image!

They go by the name of Limrei and Ramiras. You can probably ask Lezvion for more.
Crap! Why couldn't you wait another week until I get paid again!?
I hope I have enough money!
Congratulations senpai! I know the first run will be sold soon, so I'll wait for the color reprints!
And I hope this is solid stepping stone for that Sunset of Time rewrite!
I'm a little conflicted. I really, really love this story, and I'm all for books!
On the other hand, I really want those pictures in color.
On the other, other hand, 25$ is really cheap for a hardcover book, especially of this apparent quality.
When you say if you sell all of these ones you might do a color run, how much of them are we talking about?
Done!

Is that 30 bucks with the initial 25 dollars? I'm trying to view the site on mobile, so I can't really see much of what's on the site.
4869395
About 100?
Will you have it translated into French !?
4869401
Sadly, probably not. At least, that's not up to me.
4869398
Well, I guess I'm gonna take one now (because I want it, I NEED IT!!!), and hope that you'll do a color run later, at which point I'll get another one
unfortunately I currently dont have the money to buy, but maybe in the near(ish) future I will and by then hopefully the ones with color pictures will be available
Welp, absolutely snagging one of these next payday
YEEEES! FINALLY! As soon as I get my medical bills steady I am ordering this!
Oh wow that cover art is gorgeous
That's awesome! I feel so happy for you! Oh and flawlesssssss cover btw!
If it means being able to read it way easier than logging into FiMFic each time, then it's worth ordering and without more reasons to.
I would say collector ^^
Who owns the cover?
Totally buying one. Sold shut up and take my money
Congratulations. I love your work. Just ordered my copy and sent payment. Can't wait to get my hands on it. If you printed all your work I would buy it. You definitely deserve to feel pride over this. Writing my own book is a dream of mine as well and seeing someone else fulfill this dream makes me happy and hopeful. Can't wait to read more of your work and look forward to more prints of your other works.

Yeah, it's USD$55 for just the one book if you include shipping. Additional books are only $10 extra in shipping, so you can get two books + shipping for a total of $90. I believe there are plans to add Anthropology to the list of books soon.

Oh! So what you're saying is the more books I order, the less it costs for shipping? Good to know! Thanks for the help.
Congratulations man! Really happy for you.
That's awesome! Congrats!
Beautiful cover art! Just out of curiosity, would you make the cover for it on here as well?
It's funny that I just reread it yesterday and this morning and this came out.
Well done
4869485
Hmm. Maybe? I don't know, I'm just so use to the art right now.
600 pages wow, that's just short of the Sherlock Holmes series, and I mean every single book in one. Goddamn...
Just ordered my copy can't wait for it to get here, By the way this is the first time I actually bought anything MLP related.
100% congratulations you deserve all the pride (and some bragging rights), besides we've got sunset to help keep you in check if you go overboard
. I'm currently saving for holiday but once that's paid for I'm definitely getting myself a copy 
Congrats, man.
That's a purdy book. ^^
...damn man. You did a bang-up job.

I did nothing. Thank Lezvion and the Ministry of Image.
Imma buy a copy next paycheck! ^-^
Sweet.

You wrote a story inspirational enough to get someone to do a hardcover book print run. I'd say that's something.
I didn't even know this was going to be a thing and now I'm squeeing. Ordered that shit post haste
Never mind, ordered my copy!
I also want a copy, but i want the pictures in color.
Also do they Shipp outside N.America?
I live in Ecuador(S.America) so not sure about that.
Placed my order and sent payment! Included username in note as well. So excited to add this to my library.
