Decision made. · 11:14pm Dec 16th, 2020
(First, plug: tonight's Twitch stream- "Mewnbase"- begins in about two hours (7 PM Central 12-16-2020). https://twitch.tv/redneckgaijin )
There will be a print version of Changeling Space Program, and also a new edition of The Maretian. (Two new editions, in fact: a single-volume abridged edition, and a three-volume full edition to match the hardcovers done by Avonder last year.)
I was seriously thinking about doing a "The Science Of" stand-alone book, but I don't think I will; it would be essentially writing a book from scratch, and I'd rather push forward on new projects if I'm going to do that.
I'll be organizing the stories into book pages bit by bit over the next few weeks. When I have that done and cover art ready, I'll launch a Kickstarter.
I will be printing extra copies (and the KS goal will be with that in mind), so it's okay if you miss the project itself... so long as the project as a whole makes its goal.
Stretch goals and top-tier donor bennies, by the way, will go towards interior artwork. I intend to begin with four new interior illustrations (not counting those already produced). Jason Meador will be my artist of choice for those, but I may call in other artists, depending.
Now this. . . THIS is epic.
Exciting news! I can only imagine how the footnotes will look.
Sweet. Imma buy one. Probably pick up a single-volume copy of Maretian while I'm at it.
Are you going to go through CSP and update the footnotes’ placement?
Where do I go to get them?
Sounds awesome!
Sounds awesome
I'll have to see how things are going when the Kickstarter gets going, but I'd love to help. If my terrible short-term memory serves me correctly, actually have a co-worker who was working on an audio dub of "The Maretian"
5416724 For the book version, yes. For the FimFiction version, we'll see, but probably not soon.
5416740 I'll announce the Kickstarter here when the time comes, The Kickstarter will be budgeted to allow for at least a few extra copies to be printed, so it might be possible to order some directly from me afterwards. If and when brony cons start up again, I might also make some available through various channels (though I doubt I'll be able to sell them personally).
Best Hitin Horsies Headcannon in paper, yay!
Awesome! Can't wait for the kickstarter, hopefully I'll be able to contribute
Hoo boy, do I look forwards to this kickstarter.
