So do you guys like books? · 12:09am Mar 29th, 2021
Do you like physical pony fanfics? Do you like human in Equestria? Do you like human-turned-pony? Do you like my art?
If the answer is yes to any of those questions, may I point you to Boopy Doopy's story, I Am Not Sombra, now available for physical purchase right here.
Now I'm sure you're wondering, 'Why is Moth advertising a physical copy of a story she's never even read?' (Disregarding the fact no one could possibly know if I have read it or not.) Well, for one thing it's just a nice thing to do I think... But also guess who drew the cover art?
That's right, I did! And it's a darn cool thing to have been able to do too, my art, on an actual book! I mean sure, I've done art for fanfics on here more than a couple of times now, but on a physical book? Now that's something else entirely.
I'll admit that human in Equestria stories aren't usually my thing, but I'm absolutely going to get a copy of this story for myself too. I'm very happy that Boopy was kind enough to commission me for the whole cover. It just feels really special, y'know?
Maybe some day I can make physical copies of my stories too...
I would spend real human money on mothwords.

I don't know the logistics of book making and I fear the potential legal issues (Not that I'm particularly popular but the fear is there) but maybe once Shadow of a Doubt is done I can figure things out. Or even Days of the Dead & it's sequel
ssince I expect it'll be a shorter bunch of words and therefore a smaller book.Of course, I'd have to actually finish the stories first... That's a future Moth's problem.

Present Moth needs to write more for Future Moth.

Future Moth must figure out time travel so she can go back in time and whack Present Moth with a wrapping paper tube.
I still have a couple of commissions left, but maybe now I can actually try and do both writing and art. I've been slacking.
I laughed at the crossed do you like my art part.
Love your art!

It was a crucial part of the question, also thank you
Update: Book came in, and it looks absolutely wonderful! Thank you once again! (I would send a picture, but this dumb website won't let me directly upload images)

At least there was Twitter! I should hopefully get mine either tomorrow or Saturday, and then I'll be able to see the book for myself!
Make a physical copy of Shadow of a Doubt or Days of the Dead/No Second Chances and I will buy that shit in a heartbeat.

I appreciate that people are genuinely interested, I should use this as a motive to get back to my dang writing.
I might get to talking to my sister about it eventually too, I'm sure she'd be happy to do some new cover art. Of course, I'd for sure be paying her this time. SoaD's current cover was done more as a sort of exchange for me getting her something.
Maybe someday...
