Message in a Bottle; Proof and Last Chance to Order · 11:49pm Apr 2nd, 2019
Hey pones, I just wanted to share some exciting news from the Message in a Bottle hardcover print run I've been focused on for the last few months. I thought everyone ought to know that the proof copy of the book has arrived from the publisher. The book is totally ready for printing at the end of the week.
For those who weren't part of the project, who couldn't support at the time or were worried about the quality of a possible print, I've got some great news for you! The publisher doesn't need a final manufacturing number until Sunday of this week (the 7th), which means there's a very short window to be part of the project!
Anyone who would like to order has until then to grab a copy right here: https://igg.me/at/starscribe/x/20354232. As a reminder, this edition includes an additional 20,000 words of never-before-published fiction and a forward by the author, which will not be coming to fimfiction generally.
The project is fully funded and will be printing at the end of the week regardless, I just thought pones might appreciate an additional chance to get involved if you weren't already. Printing should take about two weeks, and the finished books will be shipped out before the end of the month. But in the meantime, check out a few more awesome photos!
I really wish I have gotten my pay by now, I would buy a copy in a heartbeat. I just need to hope that I will have it before it is no longer available.

Yeah! Exactly 1000 pages on 60lb paper. We really packed in as many as the publisher would allow.

If you quite want one and aren't sure exactly when your pay will come in, PM me. I could probably set one aside or something.
I think you misworded the pun in the back cover description a bit. It should be "If she's Lucky..." not "If she's very Lucky..."
I'm glad to see this all come together! It looks great!
Makes me glad I put in my order 2 months ago! Will be another prize in my collection!
Thank you for publishing!
It's a little late now, but I feel like the back cover is a bit of a spoiler... but then again, if I hadn't read at least a good chunk of the story already I might not recognize that, so eh.
Are there plans for a Kindle edition, as well? I could be all about one of those.
Is there are reason why Lucky is capitalised in the synopsis?

Because that's her pony name >.>

I want to get my hands on a copy of one of the author signed ones, but if those run out before I can get a chance I can settle with a regular one. I have read the story and fell in love with it and want to support you. This reply took a while because I got busy with life and trying to write chapters for my story(s).
I hope you can get the whole story printed, because it would be one heck of a shame to see it only get part-way.
Edit: I got paid and already choose the one I wanted, hope the print run doesn't get messed up...
So i wanted to buy the Custom chapter tier but I could not see it so I just bought the Autographed Hardcover tier instead. Also I am super exited to to receive it in the next couple of weeks.

Oh yeah, it's a little late to buy that tier for this book, unfortunately. The Proof is done and can't be changed, so it would be pretty hard to get it into the book this late in the game.

I kinda had no money the last couple of months (lots of bills to pay). This was the first paycheck I got in which i got to keep over half of it (lots of overtime). I am at least glad I got a Autographed copy.
Please make it possible to subscribe to a newsletter or something. I managed to completely miss the igg and just now saw the Blogpost after reading a comment about the printing and it's too late now
