The wonders of vanity press
I've finally decided to try my hand out at a vanity press. It's an experience, right?

I'm gonna print my short story thingie out and try to sell it... I dunno. Somewhere.
Anyway, here are samples/info.
Yeah, they're the same pages I put up before, but they will have text on them (in the actual printed version)!

Here's the pic:

It'll be 24 pages, black and white insides, colored cover.
I'm guessing it will be $11.00, shipping included.
100% original story. Except for the inspirations I took from... Amelie. And the Machinist.

The story is pretty simple, it's about a boy reminiscing about his memory of that summer of '73. It was the summer where he visited his aunt in a small town, and realized that the world is different when you look at it without the jaded perspective of the city.

If you're interested, please use this lovely button:

The doujin has now SOLD OUT! Thanks everyone who got a copy! <3

A big thanks to tokyoghoststory and oneleaf_clover for helping me with dialogue when I can't do jack with it.

	Oooh, I'd definitely buy it, if it's still up for sale when I've got the money(yeah... don't even have 6 bucks orz)! I always wanted to buy that Honeydew Syndrome poster, but never got the chance XD The color cover makes me feel really calm and nostalgic... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I love your art so much... I couldn't resist the chance to buy the doujinshi from you. -^o^- (Reply to this)

	pukiban 2007-07-13 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	My love for your writing and art is like scorching flames which create the misty smoke up in which my money constantly goes. Thusly do I buy your doujin. I'd say I'm going to be eating ramen for the rest of the month, but I actually ran out of ramen money a long time ago. On the other hand, I've still got a lot of stockpiled dollar store peanut butter cereal. Mmm. (Reply to this)

	Ooh, looks like I'll be doing the concealed cash thing, too. How much is everything in CAD? When I scrounge up the money I'll be sending over some... tin foil and black paper is enough to conceal, right? :/ (Reply to this)(Thread)
