Pledge “PastSinsPrint”
"I will buy a copy of the MLP:FiM Fanfic "Past Sins" but only if 100 other people will do the same to reduce printing costs."
— Profpatsch (contact)
Deadline to sign up by: 31st May 2012
171 people have signed up (71 over target)
More details
This is one of the greatest FanFics ever written, so only a printed version will suffice!
Goals:
- Price <35$ internationally
- Use the Season2-canon-version
- "Professional" layout (justified text, fitting font, stylized captions etc)
- Custom cover
FiReBlaZe101 already posted his approach to his DeviantArt (http://fireblaze101.deviantart.com/art/H...) but the effective price is around 40-45$ and he uses the (for books poorly styled) .pdf version.
I also set up a discussion pad to share the designing with the signers of this pledge.

Comments on this pledge
Now Pen Stroke wrote me an email that S2-canon Past Sins would only be written after S2 ended (obviously) and that would need some time as well.
"The one issue is that, by my count, Season 2 won't end until the end of April if HUB keeps airing on episode a week, and your pledge drive ends on March 31st. I think it would make the most sense if you extended that deadline to, say, the end of May perhaps.The reason for this is that will also give Batty and I time to make the adjustments we need to the story for Season 2 cannon once the entirety of Season 2 has been released.
So, yeah, you may want to consider moving the deadline to pledge back a little. Just in case." - Pen Stroke.
Anyways, we should clarify the design, cover and print so that we can have our copies as fast as possible after the rewrite is released.
We are planning to design the book and then having it printed by a company that can ship internationally while staying below 35$.
I'm sure with enough people who want a copy we can lower the price quite a bit.
If this doesn't work for you you can always have the final design and try to find a local company who will print it (would be more expensive though).
That's amazing! :D
I'll be patient 'til it comes out.
@Marco: It's not me, it's you! It's the Bronies! The f*cking BEST COMMUNITY ON THIS PLANET!
So now that there are 100 people signed up, the list is not closed yet. In fact, the more people sign up the cheaper it will be for everyone.
I'll soon (tomorrow or the day after that) update the piratepad discussion and ToDo page so we can start designing the book we want to buy.
You will get the news per email as long as you sign this pledge.
Stay tuned!
I'm glad I discovered this pledge!
