Oh, I'm excited to see it! Did you like the print company? I am thinking of printing a specific fanfiction as a book (it's over 100k... And has lots of artwork cause it's a collaboration I'm working on with an artist. It's really her story and I'm just putting it into words XD)
They're pretty good for the price, especially if you want to print very small quantities. The pages are quite nice. The pages are white and have some thickness, not like the thin papers used in most paperbacks. You get to chose between a glossy finish and a matte finish for your cover, and you can choose from several different sizes for your book or use your own custom size, so that's fairly flexible.
You can print 100k, no problem. :) I'm guessing that would end up between 300 pages to 400 pages, but it depends on the trim size of your book! My book is around 100k in word length as well~. Since I used one of the smaller trim sizes at 5.06" by 7.81", it ended up over 400 pages. It would be fewer pages if I'd chosen a larger trim size. (The book might be a bit cheaper then, since the price is mostly dependent on page number, I believe... I'm not too sure how much the trim size factors in)
I'll be getting your book next week~~. I'll send it out right after I get it. :)
Blaze is next! Ignore his awkward pose. I don't normally do complex poses of any sort, but I'm trying to fit three characters per piece of paper! XDDD He ended up looking like a sassy punk teenager....
While inking Chikus, the nib caught on the paper and flung ink (and then I brushed my hand over it).... I JUST missed messing up Demos' outfit! (which is far cooler than Chikus', so that'd have been disastrous 0.0)
I am once again out of momentum (and ideas) for these guys. Hopefully that doesn't last long :D I still have a long way to go. (And, I'm sorry for leaving the knights in drag in random comments! In the future, I'll try to sneak them in at the bottom of comments that actually relate to the post XD)
//casually hoards all your artwork from the sidelines (eeeeeh Demos is so pretty!! *^* Chikus, even if you wear pants, don't lounge with your legs like that while you're in a skirt!)

Physical books are awesome to hold. I'm hoping I can put together something next year too. XD

I colored Cloud! although I'm not good at using colors.
(He can haunt my pond maybe he'd be able to keep the stray cats away from the fish)
