UPDATE 3 - InDesign Solved / Additional Copies?
---------------------------------

:iconskwinky::iconskwinky::iconskwinky: has generously offered to stick TG in InDesign! So that problem is done. ^^ Thank you for all who responded with offerings of help or sharing in my InDesignless misery. XD

Question from :icondrachenmagier:
Ordering additional copies?

Answer: Absolutely. :3 In fact, additional copies are only 5$, no additional shipping, no limit on additional copies. So if you and a friend both want one, ship together, save money. 8D Or get someone a gift.

SHIPPING COSTS: I just want to make sure one additional thing is clear with this update ~ I do very deeply apologize for international orders being pricey. But the difference is strictly shipping. Not customs, imports, or some sort of Punishment for Not Being American fee. XDDD Just shippins'.

Still can't believe I'm trying to print this. It's overwhelming. So many better webcomics that should be printed before mine ever should be. The fact that so many people have responded so positively is incredible. @_@ Thank you for your continued supportive comments. I come close to chickening out pretty much daily. XD

No preorders yet. C: But now that I've got the cover done, I could start working on that. ^^


---------------------------------
UPDATE 2 - Preorders
---------------------------------
O__________O Thank you so much for the enormous support in just a day for having this project printed. Just fyi, I set out saying to myself that if 50 people wanted a copy, it would be worth it to me to go ahead have have it done. [I'm not doing print on demand as they dont offer the quality I want, so I needed a sizable group of people immediately wanting copies in order to see this dream realized properly.]

Currently more than 100 people have said they'd like one.

I'm really really really happy about this. T_T It's made me giddy all day yesterday and today.

:iconeviko: brought up a very good argument for preorders. It would probably benefit internationals most, as you can wait for the best exchange rate to come up and buy it then.

So I WILL be doing preorders. Not just yet, I'd like to finish prepressing the pages first, which is a massive job. X_X

I'll post another journal about preorders when I've put them together. Expect preordering to be an option sometime in early November. ^^

------------------------------------
UPDATE 1
------------------------------------

Printing Toilet Genie. This journal will probably decide the fate of the matter.

Details:
10.5 x 7.stuffstuffstuff [American comic size. whoever decided that odd width can kiss my bum.]
full color, full bleed, 24 pages

-------------------------------

NORMAL OPTION:
Single Issue in a bag with a board, signed:
US: 6$
CAN: 7$
Elsewhere: 10$ [ships priority]

POSSIBLY SPECIAL ARTIST EDITION OPTION:
Limited to 25.
Nice pencil drawing inside the cover.
signed, numbered.
Comes with an 8 x 10 print of the cover image
25$ to all locations [ships priority]

-------------------------------


It is my goal to have it at these prices. But if few are interested, prices may be upped by a dollar [lower quantity order = higher cost per unit]

If printed, I will hopefully be mailing them in march, very likely sooner. There will be no preorders, as I've never done this before, and am afraid of bungling the whole thing. ><;

Are you interested? Comment here or fiddle with the poll.

huh. I ache to not post this journal and never know the answer. Drawing a webcomic and printing it has been my dream since I was 15.

Questions
-----------------------------------
Question from :iconjin-rikkun:
"A bigger book is preferable." [paraphrased. XD]

Answer: In summary of why such is not the case ~ money. I can't afford to order the minimum print run of a graphic novel, not enough people are probably interested anyway ... and because of my health, I can only work at this horribly slow one page a week pace, so it would be YEARS before the damn thing has enough content..... and I kind of want to print it and promote it at conventions now. /excuses


Question from :iconnana-tilde-asterisk: & :iconurbanbanshee:
Payment methods? [dur. I forgot to write this. sorry ><;]

Answer: Obviously paypal or a personal check [US] are preferable. But in the absence of either of those, intensely [INTENSELY] concealed cash [US] would be ok....? >< [oh dear, USPS, I'm afraid.] I'm not sure about international alternate payment methods. If you have ideas, please comment. I'll ask at the post office when I'm there next. ^^
