So this is just a curiosity post.
What Fanfics/Fan Comics do you own in physical printed loveliness?

You have to read all the books, Pinkie.

No pretty gallery pic for me, but:

The Celestia Code by iisaw
Completely Safe Stories by Cold in Gardez
Fanfare for the Common Mare by Admiral Biscuit
The Mono-logues by Monochromatic
Tales from the Civil Service by GhostOfHeraclitus

Not exactly a large collection, and they're all paperbacks, though part of that is because I live in the UK and so only Lulu stuff is really available at vaguely sensible prices. Ordering a large hardback series from overseas, allowing for import charges as well, would take me towards custom plushie money, and frankly I can't justify or afford that. I know, I'm a lightweight!

You need to build Twi a bookfort.

I have some more arriving to fill in that gap.

I recently added corner protectors to my Fallout: Equestria, and I think it looks awesome.

I can't really take a picture, since at least three quarters is in boxes at the moment. As in: I'm severely running out of space, so only the ones I have yet to read are accessible. Right now I have about 6-8 books left to read and another 2 are on the way.

An incomplete list of things I've already read is here though: https://www.fimfiction.net/bookshelf/1205222/the-library
At this point, I'm scared of when I'll eventually be able to put them all together. I do know I was well over a meter before I started putting stuff in boxes, lol.

I did have a couple of Celestia Code books, but I got rid of those because the author called me something rather nasty for no reason because we disagreed on something.

Still upset that Without a Hive and the other books got removed; I only have Without a Hive from those 3 ><

I can live without Fragments, but I really want the sequel. I dunno why the other publishing people haven't talked to him about selling his book on their site.

Missing from the photos because they were too big to fit on the shelves are the one-volume edition of Fallout Equestria by Ministry of Image and The Traveling Pony Museum as well as The Art of Fallout Equestria containing the chapter art by Hobbes Maxwell for the 3rd and 4th "deluxe" editions.

I'm currently waiting for Changeling Space Program to arrive. I'd like to make another big order from Ministry of Image but the weak Swedish krona makes it very expensive at the moment.

In my collection

You can't tell but I also have the ponyville mysteries comics off to the side as well.

They're distributed throughout my alphabetized books, but I've got:

• Past Sins (second printing)
• Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen
• Both volumes of Message in a Bottle
• Fine Print
• Through the Well of Pirene

...though that last one might not be up to the "should I have this in dead tree form?" standard I apply these days. (And, though I do like Fine Print, it got a bit of a free ride since my copies of Message in a Bottle were extras on its crowdfunding campaign.)

Beyond that, there are other stories I'd like, but aside from funds being tight and my eBay saved searches lighting up with things like once-in-half-a-decade vintage computer software and hardware, I'm already having trouble with having to overflow books into shelves elsewhere in the house.

(For comparison against the beautiful photos you people keep posting, this photo is what things looked like in 2017... the alphabetized pocket paperbacks and manga are stacked two layers deep and there are larger books behind the game boxes. I've since received something which satisfied the "a machine to run Classic MacOS" near the top of my wishlist.)

(That said, there are things where I enjoy reading them, but probably wouldn't buy them, given more space and money. For example, I enjoyed reading Five Score Divided By Four, but it's caught between "I'll only collect a physical copy of the version I consider definitive" and "I don't put NSFW stuff on my shelves for visitors to see". Likewise, I like the volumes of Goldfur's changeling stories before he made them a crossover, and I'd probably buy those as physical copies, but the cover art doesn't meet my standards for something that would sit on my shelf... it's bad enough that I'm certain I could have made the covers for my copies of Pratchett and Baxter's Long Earth series in The GIMP, despite being a programmer, not an artist... possibly using only public domain photos from Unsplash's pre-2017 collection. At least I bought them to use up an Indigo gift card, rather than using my own money.)

Books! So many books. The fanfics I've acquired are spread between three different (small) book cases and I also have several of the chapter books and IDW comics. But here's what I have in fanfic books in dead tree format, pretty much in the order that I acquired them:
