holy cow! you can now buy SPARKLER at Lulu.com RIGHT HERE!!!
What can I tell you about this book? It is pretty rad, I can tell you that much. That up there is a Real Actual printed copy (thematic paraphernalia not included). It is a 244-page “pocketbook” paperback, and for print-on-demand it is nice quality indeed.
It is also dirt cheap at a MEAN $4.47 USD! Taking my cue from the TF2 Artbook project, the book is set up so that I earn no revenue whatsoever from any sales, which means it should all be kosher, insofar as printing fanfiction gets. Hooray for copyright! (If you would like to support me and the work I do, you can find a tip jar in my blog sidebar!)
Did I mention you can get free shipping if you use the code APRSHIP50 at check out? You can’t even buy bookstore paperbacks at $4.47 these days! Hot damn!!
On a more serious note, I want to—once again—offer my deepest thanks to everyone who has enjoyed and supported this story over the last few years. I never anticipated I might write something that would move people to the degree the arsonist and her adventures have; honestly, my Big Goal when I started writing it was to get it on the TV Tropes fic rec page. (Which it did!) Sparkler, and by extension There Is A Season, would have gotten nowhere without all the wonderful people who showed up to read it. (and if you don’t know what I’m talking about but maybe want to find out, you can always read Sparkler and its sequels for free on Archive of Our Own!)
Thank you all so much, and enjoy the book!
