The Lost Element

by XD-385

Equestria has long been known as the land of ponies. However, the name of Equestria is misleading. For far too long, a certain element has been missing from the world. And now, that element has been brought back. But for better or for worse?

24. Preorder The Lost Element: Volume 1

This update will be deleted in ten days.

Before I can get the final word in to start printing the first volume of The Lost Element for purchase, I need a tally of how many people actually wish to buy a copy. Please send me a private note if you wish to purchase one. If you are keeping track of my works on other sites as well, only contact me once so as to not mistake you for more than one person. The more copies that are printed and sold, the lower the cost for each copy.

Update

All right, I have gotten numerous claims that what I am I doing is illegal and going to get me in trouble with the law.

I am not making a profit off of printing The Lost Element. All proceeds will be going to the printing company that will be printing the copies in order to cover the costs. And for those who are wondering how valid this company and website are, here is an excerpt from their FAQ page.

We use a small business based in the US called Colorwise (they own the site .com in case you are curious) that specializes in small printing runs but delivers astoundingly high quality. Ever heard of a Fo:E print? Yes, they used it.

I will be ignoring any and all further complaints about this. I am not doing this to earn a profit, but as a means to provide the readers and fans of my story with something special.

If you are not interested in owning a copy, that is fine. If you are, contact me.

Final update

A fair amount of people have voiced their desire for a copy of The Lost Element's first volume, though more is needed to get it printed. The way the publishing site works is that a minimum number of interested buyers needs to be met before they deem the story worth printing. Unless a certain number of interested individuals is met, the story will not be printed.

What is more, I understand that illustrations can be added to printed stories as well. However, few pieces of art that have been made so far that fit with the first volume alone. If there are any pony artists out there who wish to volunteer or are available to be commissioned, I have a long list of ideas to throw your way.

Volume 1 Complete

With the completion of Tainted Memories, the real 12th chapter, the first volume of The Lost Element is now complete. Printing can soon begin. If there is anyone who is following this story or has favorited it, please contact me to let me know if you want a copy. I cannot assume if you do or not. The final product will even contain illustrations that match what is happening on the pages near it.
