☀️Pre-orders for the SECOND PRINTING of Stalwart Sun, Wily Moon are now OPEN!🌙 I can hardly believe it, but enough people filled out the interest form that here it is-- a 2nd nonprofit run of SS/WM! All formatting and art remains the same as the first printing, save for a new special byline inside acknowledging that these are 2nd editions. ✨ 8.5"x11" perfect-bound, 528 pages ✨ soft-touch laminated hardcover illustrated by Eileen Kai Hing Kwan ✨ interior art by me + guest artists Dory Whynot, Del Borovic, & Elizabeth Wakou! ✨ illustrated interior drop capitals, & more! ✨ once again limited to 100 numbered copies

I really can't thank everyone enough for commenting on AO3 or messaging me here over the past few months about being interested in another run. I'm thrilled that I'm going to be able to do this for you!

PREORDER LINK HERE! RBs appreciated as well ❤ FAQ under the cut:

Please be aware that this is a pre-order. All my files are ready to go, but I'll need to proof the books with the printer before they go into production, which takes additional time. My goal is to start shipping orders around early April. There's no deadline to order per se, but only 100 copies will be produced so when they're gone, they're gone! Q: Are you allowed to make money from fic? And why is it so expensive?! A: I don't make any money from the sale of these books-- not for this run, and not from the last. This is a completely non-profit project, but not in the typical fandom sense where proceeds go to charity. It's really expensive to print a book like this-- large size, high page count, with special features like gold foiling and full-color interior art. This is a premium thing (almost more of an art object than a book) and the smaller a print run, the more expensive each copy is. The price is quite literally how much each book costs to print. Q: Why is shipping so expensive? A: I want everyone who wants to buy this book to be able to afford it. Unfortunately, shipping internationally from the U.S. is crazy expensive (for example, $39.81 to ship just one copy to Germany-- not to mention customs/VAT fees). In the spirit of fandom being a community grounded in love and accessibility for all, I've added a few dollars to the shipping fees for U.S. orders so that I can give international customers a small discount on theirs. I did this last time as well-- even with that offset some international customers were still paying $30+ for shipping, and I personally lost money covering those discounts for them. It's entirely a labor of love, so thank you for understanding!

Omg can't believe I haven't got round to sharing this beauty on here since she arrived 😱

I SIGNED UP TO THE INTEREST CHECK SO LONG AGO I THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS LOST

It truly is a work of art in its own right 😩🤌💖 can't thank @dustandhalos enough for just a wonderful piece of work as well as the artists who contributed to such a beautiful project! (It's because of SSWM that I discovered and fell in love with @elizamaru 's work in the first place!)

And to have it signed as well makes me so dang happyyyyy! So glad I worked past my shyness to ask 🙈

For International Asexuality Day, I'm hitting you all with the Ace Beam. ☺️

(This took a lot more effort than I thought it would, lol...)

Wizard RPG that takes the Vancian "spells are demons made of math that live in your brain" thing to its logical yet absurd conclusion and casts the player character's prepared spells as a Disco Elysium style internal peanut gallery that influences dialogue trees and makes fun of your decisions. I want to get relationship advice from magic missile.

The best thing about the new stardew update is you can tell concerned ape got comfortable just being fucking weird. Which is understandable considering most indie devs have to be some level of insane
