The reason I write is because I want to read a story written for myself. One day, I want to read one of my own stories and say to myself "That is the best story I have ever read."

    Merry Christmas

    So to start off, I wish a heartfelt and sincere Merry Christmas to everybody, or Happy Holidays for those who do not celebrate.

    Of course, I know that the feeling of needing to be happy at this time is quite taxing. I see it a lot in my day job doing social work. To those, I do wish that at least your hardships be soothed for a short period of time.

    Apparently this Exists and I only just found out about it

    So I know a few people have read the book aloud but this is probably got the furthest and one of the best made.

    Unfortunately, it's not complete but Straight to the point has a pretty good voice when reading it! I hope you all enjoy

Ohmygosh congratulations!!!!
That's awesome to know!!

Yay! Good job!

Oh, wow! That looks awesome!

That’s incredible! Congratulations!

It's li-veee, huh? Are you sure it's not liiive, instead?

Duuuude, the book cover looks amazing. It's a cover that if I caught a glimpse of it in a library, I would halt in my position, turn towards that book, and first admire it's incredible art cover, and THEN check the book's content, regardless of it being pony-related.

Ordered and eagerly waiting!

I really hope I get my copy the order form is really wonky.

I filled out deh form!!!!

Need this book!

question...how and when do we pay for it?

5563008
Have you been to the second site yet?

5562970
How so?

I filled the form out, however my card keeps getting declined

Never mind had to text the bank to open the account to allow it do foreign payments

5563155
Well for one the order form itself is not very straightforward. I.e. it ask you questions rather than giving you a list of options to choose from and then the fact that the payment option is on a separate site. I'm not sure if my submission form carried over to the payment option.

5563155
the....the second site? What?

I just filled out the forms for the book thingy....

....crap did I miss something crucial?

5563431
At the bottom of the form there's a link to a second site.

Again, don't forget to proceed to https://nonexistent.ltd/ to finish your order.

Here you go :)

how long will the order form be active?

5563658
I believe that the order form is actually always active as long as the print run is running, Avonder?

5563155

5563664
Probably until the end of August. That should be enough time to get the info out to most people.

My wallet hates you. Just so we're clear, here.

I almost forgot about this and I'd like to buy, but I'd also like to read some of the other stories on offer if there's time.

Are there combined shipping discounts or am I not missing any savings if I sign up for books one-by-one as I read them and decide they're worth having print copies of in order to make sure there's no risk of being too late?

5573497
Just talked to Avonder

there is only a discount on ordering multiple copies of SE(Salvation/The Empty Room) and IG (Immmortal Game)

"being too late" is a more pressing concern, as the other two books won't be available after Sep 9th

5573772

Thanks. I'll try to find time to read the other stories within the next few days so I can decide whether I just want PC:TCQ or some of the others too.

5574351
Great idea :)

Do you happen to know where "Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon" is posted? Hello, Sedna is beautiful but, if there's any chance of me buying a collectible copy of that pair at that price, I need to read both of them and it's the only one I'm having trouble finding the online version of.

I can already say, though, that The Immortal Game is a nope. From the synopsis, it's not the kind of thing I usually read, let alone buy a collectible of. (I'm more the Past Sins, Second Printing type for feels and the Message in a Bottle type for adventure when buying collectibles.)

I personally like Salvation a lot. It is one of the best-written things I've ever read.

5574458

5574495
Avonder? I don't have the answer to this.

5574495

Huh. Apparently neither fimfiction's search nor DuckDuckGo like seeing the same word repeated six times. (And I forgot to try googling for it.)

I personally like Salvation a lot. It is one of the best-written things I've ever read.

*chuckle* I found The Empty Room's synopsis slightly more enticing but now you've got me torn on which one to try first... I'll read Bon x 6 today and sleep on which of the longer ones to read first. (I didn't sleep well, so today's not a good day to make a fair assessment of something longer.)

I wound up deciding to just go for Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen for a variety of reasons.

I noted that I'd prefer PayPal when I submitted the form, but they've since piled another straw on the "PayPal is getting more annoying" camel's back. Will it cause any problems if I change my mind after having asked for PayPal and just go through the Stripe payment process?

5575786
No, it's all right.

I've been gone for too long. Congratulations, man! I'll have to order a copy for myself.

If they ever do the sequel, please let me fix some of Tethys's dialogue!

Edit: of course I probably missed out from being away for so long.

5580201
Almost so. Hop on in.

But otherwise orders are now closed. Expect a fresh new pallet of books in a few weeks.

5580201
Thanks Zerv. 😀

5580204
I am at work atm. Probably won't be on until 7:30 eastern

Aaaaah! I've been waiting for this since the original announcement of the first print version all those years ago! Sorry to see that I missed it. Is there any chance of a second print run in the future?

Wow! That`s awesome, Thanks.
Very interesting story that lifts your spirits, especially liked the characters, their characters and motivation. I was especially pleased with the drawing and detailing in the story. I very much hope that this is not the last work and there will be an opportunity to get acquainted with the work in the future.The difficulties the characters face often remind me of the difficulties children face when they are in school. Sometimes there are problems with homework during university or school. You can use websitea service with ready-made examples of assignments to make assignments for students and learn how to structure the learning process better so that they would understand it better.

Haven't been logged on for a while. Been thinking about making a personal copy of this story. Lo and behold you made a physical copy and I missed it by nearly a year. Saw the announcement for your original book on Amazon though, I might have to check that out.

Hello, I was wondering if there are any copies left to sell? Thank you.

5651531
Yall just doing the original or are there any plans to do 2 and 3?

5673972
They only offered me original :twilightblush:

5673988
A shame but it makes sense. I know Past Sins got printed but I don't think any of it's (many) sequels did.

5674011
yeah unfortunate :raritycry:

Would really love a rerun of this print.

I am happy to inform that his is not true. Past Sins is one of the only stories that actually have a massive painting of its sequels. The book is called The Life & Times of Nyx and was published on the print on demand website Lulu in 2019 (Link). This anthology contains six stories (~260k words) and eight illustrations. So if you are interested in the book you could order it right away. I personally own a copy and I'm pretty happy with it. Though I have not yet read any of the sequels, I definitely plan on reading it in the future.  ^c^
[A list of the sequels]

On another note. I would also love to have printings of the sequel Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen. I only learned of this awesome story, by being one of the lucky ones who was able to buy a copy. It is now one of my most favorite fanfictions and I am currently enjoying my first read through of  Equestria’s Changeling Queen and the Abyssal Empress. It is pretty awesome so far (I am at chapter 15).

@Zervzie I also love reading the many comments of you on the chapters of Euestria’s Changeling Queen and the Abyssal Empress as well. :D
