Everyone, I am absolutely overjoyed to introduce you to...

The Fists and the Furry: a paperback collection of grimmichi short stories written by myself, in lovely collaboration with the amazingly talented @trevoshere!!! ✨

Containing all my short stories including Love Potion #9, Fangs for the Memories and Something Fishy, wrapped in a delicious bodice-ripping cover completely designed and laid out by Trevo, this beautiful piece of shelf candy legit looks like an aged and weathered romance paperback that you’d find in a local library somewhere. And it’s amazing. 😍

We (I use the term ‘we’ loosely) have been working on this in secret for a couple of months now, puttering about with formatting and proofs (thank you @peppertea!) and generally putting a fingerprint or two on this project when time permitted. Today it’s finally ready, and it’s so gorgeous I can’t even deal.

As I mentioned before, Trevo did the absolute vast majority of the work on this, which I can’t begin to thank her enough for. From the cover art to font sourcing, index, header work, down to the adorable art on each story title page, she turned this thing from ‘AO3, but printed’ to a truly epic piece of grimmichi collector’s merch. I am not worthy. 🙇‍♀️

Now, to business! The book is offered as zero-profit, meaning Trevo and I don’t earn anything off the money you pay for the book. The order pricing is flat-rate worldwide and includes shipping.

At 336 pages, it contains the following eight short stories: 

🔹 Love Potion #9 🔸 See You Never 🔹 Something Fishy 🔸 Beans 🔹 Bushfire 🔸 Soul Asylum 🔹 Fight Me 🔸 Fangs for the Memories

...and each title page comes with its own @trevoshere original doodle. Gasp! ♥

Really and finally, Trevo and I just hope you enjoy. That’s what this whole thing is for, after all!! A little physical chunk of fandom to hold onto, wedge doors open with, bend and dog-ear and whatever else you might like to do to it. Go nuts.

Trust us, The Fists and the Furry can take any punishment. 😉

Update 2/3/24: I am choosing to no longer make my fics available for zero-profit purchase. While I truly love that people wanted a physical copy of my fics, I don't believe it's the right thing to be doing as a responsible member of fandom.

For those who missed out, I’m very sorry, however these won’t be made available again.
