So it's out.

But. I can't actually believe it until I see it. Or until at least one of you sees it. Like, proof that my work actually exists out in the world for people who don't know me to encounter.

First one of you to obtain a copy of Shooting Star Comics Anthology #6 gets a prize. Send me a picture of you holding it or something, or a note from the indicia, the text from the second-to-last page of Shayara. Send me proof of its existence, please.

Aaaaaagh I am so fucking twitchy.

EDIT: Oxford doesn't have any. Criminal Records says they think they only have 'em for pull-lists. glenn5, can you check when you go today and pick me up one if they have one?

yendi thinks Westfield should ship the ones we ordered soon, but I am Instant Gratification Lass.

I have a message in to my local shop (got their voice mail). I'll keep you posted.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[aurora-lamour.livejournal.com]

I have not found one that carries it. Is there a place I can see what stores they deliver to?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Not really! Since it's small-press, you really had to special-order it.

The store can order it for you....

[aurora-lamour.livejournal.com]

*whine* But I want it NOW! *whine*

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Break out the yellow pages, start calling comic shops!

[yendi]

Shooting Star does have a list of known "Friendly Retailers" over here.

[aurora-lamour.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They list one in Oklahoma so I will email them now to see if they have it.

Cool!

[zarq.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!!

I'm going to mention this in my next post (which might not be until tomorrow morning at the rate things are going today.)

I'd be happy to link to a purchasing point online if you have one. The store over at Shooting Star (http://www.shootingstarcomics.com/shop.html) is down and amazon came up empty (not that I expected them to have it.). :-(

Again, congratulations! May this be a sign of many more successes to come. :)

Re: Cool!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks!

With the Shooting Star store down, there's no current online purchase point, alas. :( They'll just have to order through their local comic shops....

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

I'll keep an eye peeled.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[dark-blade.livejournal.com]

YAAAH!

I can't go to the comic shop till Tadhg gets home from work and we have umpteen other errands to run afterwards.. uhm...

Hey! *Idea!*

I will call you when we get there if they have it. I made sure that it was on our order list. *nod*

But I can't find out for like, another 3 hours. :(

[dark-blade.livejournal.com]

Now I am tempted to call my shop and find out, but I am not so evil of a customer as to call at 1pm on a wednesday to see if it is there or not... especially when we're going in later this afternoon.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Okay. Yay!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_willowmyst/]

Quick question. Does anyone know of a supplier either in the UK, or that will ship to the UK, who accepts either PayPal or Visa Electron as payment?

I am fast becoming hooked on the world of Shayara from what I read here and I really want to get hold of this anthology. The snippets I have seen have made me very hungry for more.

Thanks in advance :)

The store is down, it seems, but he may be able to help. I don't really know the situation.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_willowmyst/]

Thanking you most kindly :) I'll drop them an email and see if they can help.

The receipt I got with my Westfield order said that they were still on backorder.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Was yours a one-time order? The one-time orders are currently saying backorder, but ours (chronic order) says in-stock as of right now...

[gikiski.livejournal.com]

Just checked the on-line page and !!! it says "Shipping!"

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those who got told to wait. *sighs*

[kidzero.livejournal.com]

Got it.

Haven't read it yet, but I did pick up the one copy they had on the shelf.

Send me a picture of you holding it or something, or a note from the indicia, the text from the second-to-last page of Shayara

Well, there's that awful Mike Grell cover... was he really the best they could get?

And what the hell is Bedbug?

Oh, and the girl did it. ;D

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

You are about 15 minutes too late to win the prize - but coincidentally, I'm ripping the CD you sent to my iTunes right now. :)

I like Bedbug! Bedbug is cute.

And yes. Yes, she did.

*squee!!*

[kidzero.livejournal.com]

Eh, that's what I get for doing things like eating lunch and switching out CDs at the library and checking my PO box instead of getting my comics and rushng home to read them as nature intended. ;)

ripping the CD you sent to my iTunes right now

I was wondering if that made it there yet. Does this mean you actually liked some of it?!?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Haven't actually listened to it yet! My iPod has changed me, man; I just don't listen to things on CD anymore.... next walk I go on, I'll spin to "Albums" -- "KidZero" and have a listen. :)

Re: SSCA #6

[wolfieboy.livejournal.com]

Oddly enough, the package that I thought had your comic in it actually just contained the Colleen Doran Graphic Novel and the Gilly Plush doll. So, I'm still waiting.

Re: SSCA #6

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*nod* It ran late due to printer problems. Made me all fidgety, that did.

Re: SSCA #6

[yendi]

But you're waiting with a Gilly plush doll, which makes it easier. :-)

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

So what are the chances of it being available at Lunacon, do you think..?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

No clue, man....
