Hey, I've been reading the printed copies of Fallout Equestria and I've been seeing far too many spelling mistakes (grammer's all fine, it's just a lot of misspelling). It's been very irritating. Is there any way I can help with a second round of spell checking before the second printed set comes out?

We were given specific instructions from Kkat herself to not edit the text for spelling errors. Otherwise we would have gone through with a fine toothed comb and smoothed all of the typos out.

Now that I think about it, the plan is 1 month for sign up and 1 month for payment, and the printing will take another 2 months, so it would take at least 4 months for the book to arrive. Wouldn't it be too late now for the books to arrive during the holiday break as you guys have planned?

Will you make it well known that the sign ups for the second printing have started? I'm really worried that I'll get distracted and miss my opportunity... :pipshrug:

What? That doesn't make any sense to me. Why wouldn't you want to do that for a printing?

She doesn't want there to be multiple versions of her story floating around. While I personally don't really understand her decision I will respect it nonetheless. And Bleheh13, yes we will make quite a few posts regarding sign ups when they start and they will be open for at least a month. Honestly we should have started signups already but our signup form page is not quite ready from what I understand.

That would make sense if you were told that now, after the first printing, but I agree it doesn't make too much sense. Had you done it before, the one official print source would have one version. Sure it would be different from the original source material, but it would only have the one version out there.

What's to say I don't take the PDF and go through fixing any issues that may be there and print it for myself anyway? I have no intention of doing so, both out of respect for Kkat's wishes and lack of knowledge and ability to bind a book, but with the source material available to anyone, how do we know there isn't a personal copy with all typos corrected already out there somewhere?

Just saying that while I respect the request, I really don't get it.
