Print project: get some books edition. · 9:54pm Aug 2nd, 2019
Sooooo... in the lead-up to Bronycon and the Golden Oaks Bookstore, there was a survey to estimate how many books each author should stock. After getting the results, I had estimated ten copies of Without a Hive would be a good amount, which should cover those who were already interested with a few extra in case it caught someone's eye. I was eventually encouraged to send more, so I upped that to fifteen, hoping that they'd still all move, because it'd be kinda awkward to deal with any extras.
From what I'm hearing, every single copy sold out in something like six hours.
I have severely underestimated you all, and I'm sorry.
I know I said I'd open up the sale of the books after the con, but seeing as it's already sold out, I'm going to bump that up a few days for everyone who wasn't able to get their copy! Fortunately, Lulu makes that super easy, so here you go:
Dec 2021 edit: Lulu has removed all of these books from its site, and they are no longer available.
Without a Hive: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/phoenix-/without-a-hive/hardcover/product-15648mpp.html
A New Way: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/phoenix-/a-new-way/hardcover/product-1wk4wdwn.html
Fragments: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/phoenix-/fragments/hardcover/product-1665wz4y.html
Edit: just as a clarification, these are all being sold at print costs, no markup or anything. I'm not trying to make any money off it. I got enough of a thrill out of having a physical copy of the books in my hands.
YESyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes thanks for this!
Just imagine black friday levels. That's what is to be expected. I'll be purchasing as soon as fragments is up as well. Thanks!!
Those covers look amazing! I especially like Without a Hive's. Will you be replacing Fimfic's covers with them?

I kind of want to keep the covers that they've had for so long, but I really should put a link to the new artwork for the book covers. They're just too good to not show off
Congratulations!
No FOE: The Chrysalis?!
Congrats on the other three BTW.

No Fallout: Equestria - The Chrysalis... yet. It's got some more work to do first.
I mean, if you're not at Bronycon, I can understand the surprise. But Bronycon itself seems to have underestimated the potential turnout after advertising so hard about it being the last. One. Ever.
I was initially surprised at the lines. Now I'm surprised the vendors themselves haven't been purchased and carted off.
I don't like saying I told you so, but I told you so Phoenix.
Said from the 1am scootertrix finale panel at bronycon with my copy of Without a Hive in my bag next to me. ^_^

Ooo can't wait! I will definitely be one of the first then!
I was there on day one with the early sponsor line and the bookstore was the first place I headed after finding my Littlepip plushie and I didn't see A New Way on the shelves. I bought Without a Hive though so at least I grabbed that. Thanks for the links. I'll definitely go grab A New Way.

A New Way wasn't ready by the deadline for the bookstore, so it didn't make it to the con.
Don't worry, you didn't miss out on it.
I'm just waiting for all three to be up and then I'm IN. Just want to combine shipping and all.
Thank you!
I was at the bookstore on Thursday, but they already sold out by the time I arrived. Without a Hive and A New Way are probably my favorite pony stories, so I'm glad to see they're still available here.
