“I think I see it,” Rainbow Dash whispered. She squeezed as low to the rocks as she could and crawled forward over the tumbled-down ruins of the jungle temple. “It’s just up ahead, in the nave.”
Stories about ponies are stories about people.
We have transcended the digital!
To celebrate the final season of Friendship is Magic, our good friend and all-around awesome dude Aquaman decided last year to embark on an incredible going-away project for Bronycon 2019 -- the Bronycon Bookstore. He invited authors from across the fandom to print real, hard-copy books and offer them for sale. At the time, none of us knew if the store would be a success, or if we'd all be walking home with our bags filled with unsold books.
My contribution to the store, Completely Safe Stories: A Collection, sold out in the first few hours of the first day. I wasn't even able to get one for myself. But now, everyone can!
That's right! Through the printing company, Lulu.com, you can have your own copy of Completely Safe Stories for the at-cost price of $10.80, plus $3.99 for shipping. I'm not making a cent off these books.
If you've always wanted a piece of the fandom to hold in your hands, I think you could do worse than this book. The few copies I saw at Bronycon were slick as hell, as quality as anything you'd see at a Barnes & Noble. The cover art came out absolutely great. And the words inside aren't too bad either.
“I think I see it,” Rainbow Dash whispered. She squeezed as low to the rocks as she could and crawled forward over the tumbled-down ruins of the jungle temple. “It’s just up ahead, in the nave.”
Sometimes I'm in awe of my ability to connect wisdom and ideas and people and pretty much everything from extraordinarily far flung parts of my existence. Today, that included your indefatigable user bio:

Hey, this guy's pretty good with his words, he should write some short stories or something.
Anything you want to tell us...?

Glad you enjoyed it, and really glad that you were able to read it in translation! Translators put a lot of hard work into those stories, and I'm always glad to hear it pay off.
Hello! I just read you work The Book of Might Have Been, I read the translation though. I can say it is well-written and also well translated.
Have a follow.
How may I call you?
