Hi guys. We just received a word from the printing press yesterday during 4:03 in the afternoon... so yeah... the whole day was spent screaming and caressing and glomping each other.
So here, just two pictures. Please forgive the low-quality pictures because it was taken using our cellphones~ :|
Dimensions: Height: 8.82'' Background color: Lilac
Width: 6.72'' Text color: White
Thickness: 1.5''
closer view of the front. (with the title: A Fractured Fairytale)
*Btw, we couldn't afford the leather bound~ It was too expensive! ;_; but still the book is still sparkly! We're dazzled *coughs*
We apologize for not updating all of you for weeks now, but that's because we want to give you an update when the books are already finished. And yes, ALL THE BOOKS ARE ALREADY FINISHED. We just took one, though since we don't have dad's car with us that time--so it is quite a hassle to drag 100 copies of a 1.5'' thick book. @_@
Yes, we know we are behind schedule but we can't help it because it all depended on the printing press (Considering we gave them the manuscript since last March). Anyway, what only matters is that it's finished now~ Also, we just got back from ANOTHER printing establishment and we'll get the cover arts by next Saturday.
Now considering the bookbox, we have a bit of a problem. The truth is, the only reason we were able to afford the production of the book is because my family is a good friend of the owner of the printing press. In short, there is a problem with the budget. We're now trying to negotiate with the payment. (BUT No worries! You won't have to pay any additional fees. We'll take care of it, of course)
Anyway, sad to say, there is a POSSIBILITY that only the members will get one (a bookbox). BUT. We will try our best to convince and compromise with the "bookbox-maker" (i don't know what else to call him! XD) to be able to give you all one--though, it'll be a very simple bookbox. We'll do everything we can.
[Trust me, I'll do EVERYTHING I CAN!--> Thanks to my seduction skills, I was able to convince sir printer to have the fanarts colored and get them to make the book a HARDBOUND one~ XDDDDD ...I don't want to remember all the stress and begging I did *sighs*]
Anyway! We'll start shipping soon. We'll notify you in time.
Thank you for all the support and patience :3
Ok in summary (for those who found the post TL;DR):
-All the books are finished
-The cover arts will be available next Saturday
-there's a problem with the budget
-which will determine if non-members will still get a bookbox or not (hopefully you all will--but it will be a very simple one)
-we'll start shipping soon
-Thank you! XD *hugs and glomps all of you*
