Living in the Shadows: Volume One, LitS members only, please! (sorry) Options

[Sedna]

Yes, it's now a book!

To be exact, it's going to be at least seven books, each between 150 and 200 pages of 8 pt type, spiral-bound, roughly the same size as an SR sourcebook. Shadowland, astral quests, pix, it's all there. (If you want to see some of the samples, check out the links in the Special Projects thread.) We've done a lot of story!

But the first volume is going to the printers sometime this week, to be sent out the week after: and I need an idea of numbers.

Break-even cost is $30, including standard mail shipping: should arrive in most locations between one and three weeks later. If you want something faster, please add accordingly to the base cost. I have PayPal, or you can send me a cheque or money order. Don't forget, I can't send out your copy until I have your mailing address.

I'm limiting this -- for now -- to LitS members only, because it's our project. We built this world! If there is wider interest, please don't click on the poll, but drop a line in this thread instead.

(Note: even though it's almost too late for this volume, we are still always seeking high-quality pictures and SR-related advertisements for this series.)

I'd be interested in a copy of this.

[Slipshade]

I would be interested as well. But I may have to wait a little bit before buying. Cash shortage and all. :)

[Sedna]

Printing delay, entirely due to me. In short, the last month evaporated on me. Very positive lightning bolt out of the blue -- something I had been quietly hoping for for decades -- but maybe at the worst possible time, and everything deadlined to now.

We will however be mailing out the first volume out next week, which should still be in time for you to get it for Christmas.

All those who are interested, please PM or e-mail me (talia_invierno@yahoo.com) with a mailing address and your method of payment (money order, cheque, Paypal [different e-mail] ).

For everyone who wants a copy, WinterRat is collecting mailing addresses.

I've put up a PayPal button at the living in the shadows index site: name comes up as "the blackfly", which is my writing site in development.

WinterRat -- could you please contact Smilin Jack re these details?

[Sedna]

First volume is complete, and has been sent out and received by everyone for whom I have addresses. So far the reviews have been good. If you want a volume, send WinterRat the address. (Don't post it in this thread!) Payment is by cheque to him or PayPal as above.

I went over-budget with this one, but then it will also probably be the largest single volume, being the introductory one and involving the greatest number of PCs. Price will stay the same for subsequent volumes, unless the USD plunges further.

Note: I am looking for cheap, sometimes cross-border shipping alternatives -- which was the greatest part of what sent me over-budget. I'd much rather place the value into the book proper. (Please don't say US mail. ;))

ETA volume 2: end of February / mid-March. Please post interest in this thread.

[WinterRat1]

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SECOND VOLUME!!! :D

(Does that qualify as posting interest? ;))

Sedna - payment sent via paypal.

[WinterRat1]

Grendel - Neither Sedna nor I know where to mail your volume. Do you want us to hold it and mail it to you with Volume 2?

[Vegas]

How many copies are still in existence without a claim on them. I'd like to consider getting my hands on one, however cash is something of an illusive being in my life atm. :(

[grendel]

Thought I gave Sedna my address. I'll pass it SEPCOR via email.
