Its Origin
From the creator:
I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you who voted for me in the Mauve And Dangerous fan fiction awards. I'd hoped I'd win something, but winning three awards was more than I would have imagined. Thank you!To celebrate, I've put together my first fanzine in over ten years -- a printed collection of my favorites from the Doctor Who fanfic I've written this past year. It includes From This Day to the Ending of the World, Of More Value Than Many Sparrows, The Candle That Burns Brightest, and The More Things Change.
It's 44 pages, spiral-bound, with a full-color title page and a clear vinyl cover. Since I'm working in a copy center these days, I wanted to make this as nice as possible. Basically, I just wanted a good copy of these stories I could keep on my bookshelf -- if you'd like one, too, they're $10.00 US, shipping included. It's a limited edition -- I only printed thirty copies, and I'm not going to be printing any more.
Thanks again for all the support and comments you've all given me on my stories. It keeps me writing. [1]
A Breakdown of Costs
After I originally posted this, a couple of people approached me with reasonable concerns about whether I was making a profit on this. Here's what each one cost me:The remaining $1.75 should cover shipping. I might lose a little on international shipping, but that's not a problem. (I'd said at one point that profits, if any, would be going toward a fan film I'm making, but there's really not going to be any profit.) Let me know if you have any other questions. [2]
