Heads up! Until the homepage is back working, please check our Discord Server and the online store blog for any project news.

In general:
For the latest news, including any new printing announcements, always check the homepage. We also post major updates to our information channel on our Discord Server.
To stay on top of project updates on this website, you might want to look into changedetection.com, which will email you when the homepage updates. Or If This Then That which will email you when new posts on the forums are made. Or if you're savvy you can use the site's RSS feed.

Our books are limited-edition printings, however if you missed pre-orders for a previous printing, we may have extras available for purchase from our online store: https://absolutelyeverything.org/

We also have partnered with djazz who makes and maintains the official ebook versions of our work, including: Fallout: Equestria, Pink Eyes, and Murky Number Seven. (To report any issues with the ebooks, please PM djazz here or on FimFiction and include what device/software you're using.)


How do these printings work?
The Print Project is supported entirely by Fallout fans (like you!), so the ordering process is a little unique:
1. Everyone signs up on a Google form.
2. We crunch numbers based on how many people sign up.
3. Invoices are emailed to everyone, where they can pay online with a credit card.
4. After everyone pays, we pay the manufacture to start the production process.
5. Production of the books starts, and usually takes around 3 months.
6. A few months later the books are finished.
7. Then we ship them out to everyone!


What's the current status of active projects?
Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes 2nd edition:
Finished! If you missed a copy check out the online store!

Fallout Equestria: Duck and Cover 2nd edition:
Finished! If you missed a copy check out the online store!

Wait, I missed signups! Wat do?

Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes 2nd Printing Information:
Fallout Equestria: Pink Eyes follows the cute story of Puppysmiles as she wanders the wasteland. Some say she's a hero, some say she's just lost. But we all can agree she's the best adorkable wastelander out there.

The 2nd edition of Pink Eyes is a completely new printing; featuring a deluxe leather hardcover binding with a foil stamped cover, a ribbed spine, silvered edges, and a fabulous matching dust jacket, Pink Eyes will stand proud on your shelf and will perfectly complement our other books.
(For our vegan friends: the cover is technically an alternative leather, and is not coming from actual cows.)

Is there a limit on the number of signups?
If necessary we may limited the number of books ordered, it is recommended to sign up early to guarantee your spot.

How much does the book cost?
Each book will be about $49.99 USD, with free shipping to the US. International shipping will be about +$20 to $25 USD.
The final cost will likely change by a few dollars, since the books are cheaper when more people sign up. As long as you save up a little more than our estimates, you will be more than fine.

Is there a discount for shipping multiple books internationally?
Shipping multiple books can save a bit over the cost to ship just one book, generally we see the most benefit on orders for 3+ books. For specific shipping questions, feel free to send us an email.

Has the story been edited?
Yes! Pink Eyes has been extensively edited to best capture the story for its physical form and smooth out the more jarring aspects seen in the FimFiction version.

Is chapter art included?
Yes! Thanks to the wonderful Hobbes-Maxwell for the absolutely stunning art, specifically re-touched for the 2nd edition.

What paper does the book use?
Pink Eyes is printed on a traditional 50/60 lb smooth white paper.

What are the dimensions of the books?
Each book is approximately 9 inches tall and 6 inches wide
9 in = 22.86 cm
6 in = 15.24 cm

The book is approximately 1.5 inches wide:
1.2 in = 3.05 cm

Fallout: Equestria 4th Printing Information:
The 4th edition is similar to the 3rd edition, with a few notable improvements: The cover is a better texture material and is more 'leathery' instead of the plain flat black. The dust jacket has a nicer coating that won't soak up fingerprints as much. And the text will have a few minor corrections for some printing errors that were missed with the 3rd edition.

If it were a software version it might be more appropriate to say "3.5", but it's the 4th printing of the story as a whole. So if you already have a copy you don't necessarily need a 4th edition. But there are a lot of people who missed out on the last printing, or who still want an extra copy of the book. And the 4th edition is a bit nicer overall.

For more information, please see the "Fallout: Equestria 3rd Printing Information" section below, as much of the other information is the same.



Fallout Equestria: Murky Number Seven Printing Information:
This first ever printing of Fallout Equestria: Murky Number Seven features the entire, unabridged story, printed in a single leather-bound book. (For any concerned vegans, it is technically a high-quality leather alternative).

The book features foil stamping on the title and spine, as well as a ribbed spine. The paper is 24# white lightweight (Bible) paper with silvered edges. Due to the nature of the paper, it may be more prone to damage if you are a particularly voracious page turner. For this reason, as well as the mature contents of the story, this deluxe edition of Murky Number Seven may not be appropriate for younger readers.

Is chapter art included?
Yes! Thanks to the wonderful Hobbes-Maxwell for the absolutely stunning art. You can already check out some of his other work on his tumblr: http://boiler3.tumblr.com/
(warning, occasionally NSFW)

(includes Fallout Equestria: Make Love Not War)
Are you tired of Fallout Equestira stories with morals, virtues, and overt heroism? Do you just want to roam the wasteland blowing everything up? Well do we have the story for you!

This is the first ever official printing of Fallout Equestria: Duck and Cover! This story follows the fun-loving Atom Smasher as she unwittingly becomes a hero, while somehow having less of a conscience than the raiders, slavers, bandits and baddies she's been charged with fending off.

Each book fatures both complete unabridged stories, printed in as high quality hardcover book, with a deep rich hunter green cloth cover, silver foil stamping, and a fabulous dust jacket featuring the heroine of the wasteland.

Yes. The absolutely fabulous dust jackets were designed by CaptainHoers

Fallout: Equestria 3rd Printing Information:
Imagine wandering through the wasteland. You discover a building that is strangely intact amidst the shell-shocked ruins that once formed a city. Inside you find books - shelves upon shelves of books. Old and new books all alike in one aspect; They beckon you deeper. As you walk, your fingers run along their spines, leaving a path in the dust which stood undisturbed for centuries. You delve deeper and deeper into the depths of the building. Finally, you reach a room empty save for an ominous black leather tome which rests on a podium in the center of the room. Its gilded pages implore you to explore the secrets within.

This is The Book of Littlepip. A single-volume, leather hardcover book with lightweight paper, gilded edges, ribbed spine - the works. A book to stand the test of time. A book to define the pinnacle of what this fandom can achieve.
