Golden Oaks Bookstore (Y'all) - What I'm Offering! · 4:26pm Jul 19th, 2019
Bronycon 2019 is so very close now, and I'm happy to say that my efforts to contribute to the awesomeness of this final Bronycon have been successful.
For Aquaman's Golden Oaks Bookstore, I will be providing not one, not two, but three physical books! Three hardcover books based on the polls taken once upon a time through another blog post. Get more details and see a preview of the covers below!
Pen Stroke's Golden Oaks Bookstore Offering
Past Sins
All the way from Russia with love, its the Ministry of Image's edition of Past Sins. This is a beautiful casewrap hardcover of 576 pages with 23 internal illustrations.
The Life and Times of Nyx
A single book containing all the sequels to Past Sins. This is a big boy at ~770 pages. This book has brand new cover art and eight brand-new internal illustrations done by Maytee & Asimos. (One per story, as well as a front & back title.) Each story has been given a thorough editing pass by LevelDasher to make sure they were fit to print. Also, the layout of the book was done by Kevinltk, the same person who did the layout for the 1st & 2nd editions of Past Sins. The stories contained within are:
Face the Dark Anthology
A dip into the supernatural, this anthology contains four of my most popular stories that dip into what goes bump in the night. ~470 pages with brand new cover art and 4 internal illustration by SilFoe. Again, editing for of the stories was done by LevelDasher and the book's layout was done by Kevinltk. The stories contained within are:
- Into The Depths
- From The Depths
- Sunset Slayer
- Morsel of Truth
So yeah, it's been months of preparation while coordinating a team of five people, but I wanted to do my part to make this last Bronycon special! I hope everyone is as excited as I am!
Also, yes, I will be looking into ways to make these books available after the convention, but I haven't yet had time to even begin my research into how I would accomplish that.
TL;DR Books for the book throne! Horsewords for MLP:FiM, and hopefully a grand time to be had by all at Bronycon 2019
Also, a small reminder that Super Trampoline's Feghoot Contest is ending today, July 19th. If you want to make judges cringe under stories written specifically for a bad pun, better get your submission in! As of a few days ago, there were 46 entries in total! Help the contest hit that magic number of 50!
Oh wow, that's a pretty compelling offering! Now I wish I had bought a plane ticket and saved some cash for BC instead of buying a gun...
Can you put me on a backup list or something for The Life an Times of Nyx and Face the Dark Anthology, in case you have any leftover, or point me where I could get those later? I've got a hardcover of Past Sins already, those would really round out my collection.
Those look very nice.
SOLD. I AM SO GETTING ONE. And the quintessential Past Sins but you knew that.
...My suitcase is going to be heavy.

The talents of the artists and writers in the fandom constantly amaze me. Past Sins was the first story to really pull me in, and I have one of the original hardcovers. An investment well worth it.
If only i was going to Bronycon...
Sad times living here in Britain, I cant really go alone, well I could be its a long flight for a weekend, mostly for Life and Times of Nyx. But Ponycon last year in Nottingham was good, I'll be going again this year no doubt.
If there are any left, I would love to know and have one reserved, or atleast see some available more commerically liek past sins is right now.
Your stuff is amazing, truly and adding the rest of the tales of Nyx would be fantastic to my shelf of ponies.
I'll be grabbing a copy of face the dark and life and times of nyx ( already got a copy of past sins)
Trotcon 2019 is the MLP convention in Ohio! It is held this year on July 19-21, in Columbus, Ohio at the Crown Royal Hotel in North Columbus, Ohio off of 317 North near the Budweiser plant there!
One of the Voice actresses (Katrina Salisbury) aka Yona the Yak will be there, along with Elly Ray-Hennesy (Mistmane), and Bill Newton (Bright MacIntosh, Stygian/Pony of Shadows, and Shutter Snap (Scootaloo's father). Of course, Bronycon is August 1-4 this year.
Thanks for the correction!
The Ohio State Fair is next at the end of July to August 4 I think.
5091222 Ahem. Bronycon2019 is August 1-4. You panicked me for a moment.
i do plan to get some books if i manage to get to bronycon
I have to appreciate how the two covers on the right interact.
"Oh boy. Whose turn is it to calm her down?"
"Well, Twilight is her mother."
"But she's never gotten much quality time with Sunset!"
"Princess, didn't you say you felt bad about passing these things off on your students?"
Definitely would like to get a copy of Past Sins. Did you already list prices or will you post it at BronyCon?
Iām reading the Past Sins hardback right now so the The Life and Times of Nyx would be a welcome addition. Maybe you could get them done through Ministry of Image like Past Sins.
It sounds like the herdās going to die off after this yearās Bronycon. Iām still glad that I read Past Sins when I caught wind of it.
I'm super excited to get my very own copy of Past Sins and The Life and Times of Nyx! Past Sins was the first mlp fanfiction I read, and really got me into the fandom!
I NEED THAT NYX BOOK!!!
Please put me on the list for a copy of the Nyx antholofy. I am willing to pay in advance to have a copy mailed to me. Also, what is the difference between this update and the original Past Sins hardcover?
Love all of your past sins .
How do I order a copy ?
I'm interested in The Life and Times of Nyx, but there's no way I can afford to travel to a foreign country to get it. If you have any leftovers and you'd be willing to send one to Canada, please let me know roughly how much it would cost overall.
(As much as I'd also like that Past Sins, I already have a Second Edition and, if enough people are willing to ship me books, I'm probably going to have to borrow against future months' entertainment budgets as-is.)
Like the others, I look forward to buying a copy of Past Sins, along with the sequels! My suitcase is going to be SO heavy. :P
I still own my orginal copy of Past Sins back from 2013, the story is still one of the best I have read on this site, including the side stories that came after, will these be available for purchase online after the convention has been held? as I live in England so I have no hopes of getting to Bronycon.
I got a few friends at BronyCon (wasn't able to make it myself), but by the time we found out about this they were already sold out. Is there any possibility of further prints or a way to get a copy of these, especially The Life & Times of Nyx?

There will be ways to get them post con. Just need to finalize a few things when I have some non-con occupied time.
Ahhhh SHIT! I would have really wanted to get that "Life and Times of Nyx" since I have the Past Sins book
5091209
I would ALSO like to be on that backup list for 'Life and Times', since I already have Past Sins
5091280
Instabuy on that Life and Times
5091294
That's nonsense spewed by the fandom's autistic underside that overreacts to everything

Your words are a message from God. Let the angels sing!
5102528 Oh. In that case, disregard my comment- Iām just saying nonsense and Iām not trolling.
5102644
I didn't figure you were. The fandom's gonna be fine
5102648 Oh, good.

I already have Past Sins but I would love both of the other two, so count me in. :3
I just read Past Sins for the first time over the course of the last two weeks and I simply loved it! I am very excited to read all the sequel stories you've made. I just have one question.
Is it at all possible to find your other books on sale somewhere? Past Sins is easy enough to find but I would love to get a copy of The Life and Times of Nyx. I didn't become a brony until the end of 2019 so I missed my chance to go to Bronycon, but I would love to start collecting pony books!
