IT'S A BOOK!

[telophase]

The copies of Project Blue Rose: Human Touch are heeeeere!

Note that this does not mean I'm sending pre-orders out now, because that takes a not-inconsiderable amount of time that I don't have before A-Kon. :D






The cat is Wise to the Ways of Cameras and won't look at it when she hears it beep in readiness, because I've flashed her in the face too many times. XD

It's fucking gorgeous!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D

And it's fat enough (120 pages) that it feels like a book, too! :D

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

EEEEE!!!

!!!!!!!

Eeeeeee! It's a book!

Just let me know when you've determined that it's a book without errors.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears to be a book without errors. :D There are the correct number of pages, and they all have either text or pictures on them. None of them are upside down.

The cover is sliiiightly skewed - unnoticeable on the front, but on the back you can see where the blurb box doesn't square with the corners of teh book, and the teeny panda on the spine is a bit further over than the spine text, but none of that is anything that's really noticeable.

I think if we do another text book I'll need to put a hair more space in the gutters as you ahve to hold it open a bit to read the inner text, but that's survivable and nothing vanishes into the gutters.

And the text doesn't look unreasonably large or small!

Well, so long as it looks professional. I've definitely seen mainstream pubbed books with similar issues.

Re: another text book: I am going to concentrate on the script for v2 before I even think about that. I plan to plot it out at A-Kon, with your help. It will be something to do when sales are slow.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yup, looks professional! :D

Yeah, I figured that A-Kon would be a good time for plot-noodling. We'll see how well HT does before even thinking about another one, but -- bar the TEARING HAIR OUT AND SCREAMING bits -- was kinda fun to do. XD

That's how I feel too. Though the whole experience seems slightly vague and surreal to me, as I wrote and polished mine and edited the whole thing while vaguely stoned from fever and cold medicine.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I don't even have that excuse, and the whole thing seems vaguely surreal. My brain is definitely doing that thing where it edits out the worst bits of an experience, where you're swearing both at the book and never to do anything like it ever again, and leaves all the good bits.

It's done that with Japan, too. I can't remember how horribly hot and humid it was, even though I know the temperature was miserable on an intellectual level.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

I remember. I am never going to Japan in the summer again. Well, I guess unless someone else pays for the trip.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I'm not as adamant about never doing that again, but then again I grew up in a similar climate. :D

I do want to go in the fall, though, so I can see the colors. :D

Mmmmmyummy!

it looks great! (goes off to order.)

[dremiel.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I would like my copy to be cat-approved, please!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

No problem! XD

[kintail.livejournal.com]

Oh that's gorgeous!

And reminds me that I need to order it already... I blame the ovary for the delay.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

SQUEEFLAIL! BOOK!!!

[chomiji]

Wheeee! Book! And cat! And toes!

XD

[seajules]

Eeee! Book!

...Possibly this means that I should get off my butt and link it in my journals.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Yaaay!
