    Captain on Deck!

    Captain Blackmane visits Surprise, and finds her very familiar. :twilightsmile:

    (Nebula's plan, despite lacking a foremast, is very close to Surprise's.)

    Twofer Tuesday

    Posting two chapters today because they pretty much are one story beat.

    Enjoy! :twilightsmile:

    Fernweh

    Clumsily translated from German, it's "farsickness," which is homesickness for a place you've never been to.

    Dredged up my old, never-finished model of Nebula to get some details/blocking of a scene correct, and... Yeah. Fernweh.

    Pirate News!

    Some of the more perceptive among you may have come to suspect that I have a thing for pirates. So, you may not be surprised to learn that I am awash in all the latest hot pirate gossip. Well, there is breaking news in the world of seafaring wealth-redistribution that has got everyone's eyepatches a-flutter!

    No, You're not Hallucinating

    Yes, I've changed the title of my current story a bit. While doing (yet another) editing pass, I realized that my impulse to avoid a bit of a clumsy word-choice was just flat-out wrong, so I've made a little mid-course correction. My deepest apologies to anyone having to say this new, more sibilant title out loud.

Big News: The Alicorn Adventures are Back in Print! · 10:46pm Oct 31st, 2021

Available from The Ministry of Image here: BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

The two volumes contain not only the four main novels, but also all the related side stories, plus a chapter of Tales from Twilight Town that was never published on FimFic, and five new custom color illustrations as well as all the other maps and such that originally appeared in the online versions. All this at a lower price than the cost of the original four books!

Happy Nightmare Night to you all! :twilightsmile:

Wooooooooot!!!:pinkiehappy:

Hm, I think I actually prefer the old, more "neutral" covers. But damn, wish I had those new illustrations and the chapter...

YEAH BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

By the way, you might want to do another blog post explaining to people that if they live in the US they need to contact MoI directly to pay because they cannot use the website to check out. Paypal will not send money to them from the US due to sanctions (I've had to arrange separate money orders with MoI before).

I am SO getting these soon!

Ah, I didn't know that, thanks!

Are these covers coded like the previous ones?

Ah, nice. :)

And Happy Nightmare Night to you too!

5602529
Afraid not.

i still can't believe i thought that it was one of Twilight's Ancestors at one point, not Twi herself, She looks freaking awesome tho,

GAH
But I have the books from before
Can I really justify this purchase?

Ok... is it like limited print or do I have some time to decide?

5602662
It's not limited as far as I know. Since it's printed in Russia, the shipping might be cheaper for you.

5602677
For me definitely as EU citizen
I already ordered things from them in the past.
I will definitely check it out, because I would love to have it with those bonus stories
The Quest is a great oneshot with amazing implications.
Thanks for response

5602689
No problem! :twilightsmile:

but also all the related side stories

And yet you never reached out to me about including The Cadance Conundrum :fluttercry:
For shame, iisaw, for shame!

5606202
It seems likely now that it's happening to me because I have a business account, so there are restrictions on purchases due to sanctions on Russia.

Yay, got it already, greetings from Russia ^_^
To be honest, I haven't read these stories yet, but I've heard about them and planned to read it, so when I saw the printing announcement I decided I order them to read from paper :twilightsmile:
The books are lovely, the cover is some kind of a soft-touch material, great paper and printing quality, and of course awesome illustrations by Ramiras!

ΠŸΡ€ΠΈΠ²Π΅Ρ‚!

Wow, that was fast! I love Ramiras' style and I was very pleased with the illustrations.

I hope you enjoy the stories! :twilightsmile:

Just received my copies and they look incredible! I'm super happy now owning printed versions of your stories, since I've read them already several times and I'm definitely going to do it again at least once more in actual physical books! Much love and I'm hoping you're doing great! :twilightsmile:

I'm doing great, thanks! I hope you get a great deal of enjoyment out of the books!

Mine just came in!! They're wonderful, thank you for making another print run of your books!

5616174
You're welcome! I owe a debt of gratitude to The folks at the Ministry of Image for doing a great deal of work on the project.

What happened to your other stories here on Fimfiction???

5662943
They are now on AO3!

5662961
I saw that. But why'd you move them? Did something happen?

5662965
No single incident, just too many personal attacks and doxxing against me and people I highly respect from politically extreme members, which were encouraged by a site moderator. The only reason The Celestia Code is still here is to act as a signpost to where my work can be found.

5663070
I'm so sorry that happened. I hope things are better now. 😟

5663070
I'm sorry to hear about this, You're not the first author I like who left due to "unpleasantness". I hope you are doing better. I'd love to follow you on AO3 or the other website if you'll have me.

5671982
I welcome anyone who's polite and reasonable, even if we disagree on some things! I've met many, many nice people in this fandom, and I don't think that the unpleasant parts are anywhere near the majority... just very difficult to ignore. Comments on my stories over on AO3 are "moderated" but I will approve any that aren't outright attacks.

5672056
I saw on the Offprint website something about Invite codes?

5672077
I don't know what's going on with Offprint. Half the time, I can't even sign in there. My stuff is up there, but I'm kinda waiting until they get their act together to visit much. I thought anyone could join now, but I may be wrong about that.

5672079
Ah okay. I mostly keep on Fimfic out of convenience, as trying to remember half a million stories from a dozen different websites would be :applejackconfused: for me:derpytongue2: I got your physical books from MoI anyway so :yay: for that, and if I could get all the stories I like in physical forms I'd do so in a heartbeat. You could say that I'm a bit of a :twilightsmile: at heart.

5672089
There really is something wonderful about an actual, physical book, isn't there? :twilightsmile:

5672199
Wow! Quite the collection, there! :pinkiehappy:

5672200
That's JUST my bedroom, we have at least one or two small shelves of books in two other bedrooms and another case in my parents room.


Suffice to say that my dream house would have an old-fashioned LIBRARY room. Their Royal Highnesses Twilight and Luna will be cordially invited when that happens.

...would have an old-fashioned LIBRARY room.

But of course! Any room with enough books, becomes a library:

I find that a suit of armor adds a certain je ne sais quoi:

Book Princesses and Goddesses of the Night are always welcome!

Create the world you want to live in, my friend! :twilightsmile:

Le sigh...sadly my world can't have magical bookhorses or nerdy cat girls:fluttershysad:.
