BronyCon Bookstore!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! · 1:39am Jun 10th, 2019
HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
There's something going on at BronyCon this year where people are bringing physical books of their fics to sell! I'm gonna to do this! Yeah!
yeah
The question: does anyone care? I have a pretty good idea of what fics I'd include:
- The Attempted Assassinations of Twilight Sparkle
- Sunset Shimmer's Guide to Pissing Off Your In-Laws
- Aria Blaze: Throat Puncher
- The Nightmare I Need
- Dinky vs the Moon
- How the Half-Naked Santa Saved Christmas
- Starlight Glimmer Battles Existential Dread at Sunrise
- Something Like Laughter
- ...But the Kitchen Sink
...along with a few little extras, including my award winning poem, "Three Ways My Dick is Like Scrappy Doo."
Are there any fics that I'm forgetting that people would want to see? Or any other shtuff?
I swear I'll do anything
And would anyone be interested in grabbing a copy? It won't be priced too high, and I'd be more than happy to sign/draw in/spit on any copy that people brought to me.
I'll post more details as the date approaches. Y'all let me know what you think.
Please please please tell me this is real.
I'm basically going to buy as many books as I have room for. Locating a post office near the convention center may be a priority.
Looks like Bronycon is gonna be a lot more expensive than I had anticipated...

It is! It's genuinely a key part of both my stand-up routine and normal poetry performance set.

Some confidence boosting responses... ;)

Holy shit, you do stand up and spoken word poetry? I didn’t think I could love you more.

Same. The good and bad of it is that EVERYONE seems like they’re getting in on this, so I’m bound to be in for some wailing & gnashing of teeth as I try to decide what not to buy. Carrying capacity and budgetary considerations are equally perilous at $25-ish per T H I C C hardcover. That’s why (not to threadcrash) I’m going to do my own collection as a cheap-as-hell $5 softcover.
But honestly, just having a physical version of Kitchen Sink would be amazing by itself. More stories on top of that is gravy.

I'm lucky enough to live in driving distance, so I'm free to overencumber myself!
How do I get in on this? I wanna sell some physical copies of my fics
I'd buy it for Aria Blaze: Throat Puncher alone. Hopefully it's available in paperback, because having seen a partial list of the books being offered, well, I'm gonna have a hard time carrying that many books!
I'm a bit afraid that starting PRINTING fanfics and making money out of that starts encroaching a bit too much on the side of the copyright holders, that are QUITE famous for reacting BADLY. If there is a LOT of people doing that at a big Con it may end quite costly... I'm not a legal expert and nowhere near BronyCon, but well...

I think it's a bit late for it now, since BronyCon is only a few weeks away, but you should talk to RBDash47 if you really want in.
