Hello lovely fans! It is an exciting day for us here at Q&B because we've launched our second hardcover printing project! With all of the knowledge we gained from the first one we're thrilled with the chance to go through the process once again. This time we're offering two books.
Crystal's Wishes: Once Upon a Time
The primary book we're offering with this hardcover printing is the first half of www.fimfiction.net/story/23009… Crystal's Wishes. Due to the size of the story we've broken it into two parts with the first one titled Once Upon a Time. Crystal is doing an editorial pass plus making a few changes here and there to make the story shine.
Each of these books will be part of a limited edition first printing. They'll be numbered, signed, and personalized. Once the initial printing is done we'll never reprint the numbered version.
Memoirs of a Royal Guard
If we received one frequent feedback about the Memoirs of a Royal Guard hardcover printing it was "OMG I missed it." We're addressing that now. If you missed the first printing you can get in on the second printing.
Each of these books will be slightly smaller than the original printing and will not be numbered. I will sign each of them, however.
How to Order
The process is very simple:
1. Click this link: quillnblade.com/book-preorder-…
2. Fill out the form and click Invoice Me With Paypal
3. If you're international, reach out to Crystal for an exact shipping quote
4. Log into paypal or check your email for the invoice
5. Pay your invoice by December 2nd
When Do I Get My Book(s)
As long as you paid your invoice we anticipate delivering your book in February around Valentine's Day!
Can You Deliver At BronyCon?
If you're willing to wait that long, yes we can. Please let us know that is your preference and we'll zero out your shipping costs.

Hello everyone! I know I don't have a ton of readers here on Deviant Art (FIM Fiction is kind of my spot) but I do know there are some of you that are only here. I didn't want you to miss out on this cool thing we're doing over at Quill & Blade. We're going to be taking our stories and turning them into hardcover physical books. This is a fan, "not for profit" project. Here are the details:
Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition Hardcover Printing
We are moving forward with the hardcover printing of Memoirs. I've done tons of number crunching and it looks like I'm right in the same ballpark as similar projects. I've also put together a spreadsheet so that you can see them too. No mystery here! Those are the costs as I know them or estimate them to be.
The Numbers
Here is the current process of how this will work.
Note: If this goes well and there is interest we will also be printing Crystal's Wishes 1 and 2, Secrets, Hopes, Trials, and maybe even Azurite.
1. If you want a book you need to make a deposit ($15.00 USD). Deposits are refundable until Painted Wave starts on the cover. That will be in roughly four weeks. Starting February 8th deposits are non-refundable UNLESS the project falls apart and we don't print. In that case we will refund every penny!
2. Deposits will be taken up until roughly March 7th. By that time we should be in a "go or no go" state. As long as we get at least 15 fans interested we're going to do this. 30 makes this really affordable and 60 puts it where I could only dream! We already have 13 as of this blog post. The more folks that make deposits the cheaper the final price will be.
3. After March 7th I'll open the book order. Anyone that made a deposit will have that deducted from the final cost of the book. If you don't order you forfeit your deposit. This is because pricing is based on order thresholds. If I'm expecting 30 orders, base everyone's price on 30, and then we only get 25, the 5 books still must be purchased or I have to go back and ask the other 25 for more money and I'm not going to do that. The deposits will offset the risk. Shipping will be unique to you so it could be more or less than the $10 quoted. Non-US assume more. A LOT MORE.
4. All books will be signed and numbered.
5. It is HIGHLY unlikely that there will be a second print run. Highly, highly, highly, highly unlikely. If you want a book this is it folks. There will not be a combined book, second run, or second chance most likely.
6. All "profits," if there are any (and I actually expect to be out of pocket a little bit), will be donated to charity.
Primary Order (US/Canda): Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition
Backup Paypal (much higher fees) (All Others): Donate@quillnblade.com
Please don't delay or put this off if you genuinely want a book. The sooner we get the deposits in the sooner I can quote an exact price. Please send funds in USD!
Current Deposits: 13
