This is all part of the series?? Oh my god.

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

essentially yeah! we're trying to make it a collaborative platform for storytelling, so in general not much in the Maria Ying books will contradict the rest (and a lot of it are about original characters)

Just bought the set. Might take a little while to get to it, my reading list has a bit of a backlog at the moment, but i'm sure it'll be worth it.

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

thank you!

doublydeadgirl.bsky.social•9 days ago

I love that this world is such a collaborative project, it's really incredible to see

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

yeah! we're making a point of this functioning as a sort of shared world and splitting proceeds completely evenly :D

missash.bsky.social•9 days ago

Whee! Will be buying tonight!

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

thank you <3

sandywolf.bsky.social•9 days ago

I read Edith Hamilton's mythology in High school, loved it!

cozmicaztaway.bsky.social•9 days ago

If I'm completely new to the setting, is the Hades Calculus the recommended starting point or is there something else?

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

yeah, you should start with HC!

cozmicaztaway.bsky.social•9 days ago

Awesome, thank you!
I have ~700 pages of a library book to get through first, but I'm looking forward to diving in, this sounds cool as hell.

vickyamaru.bsky.social•2 days ago

I already owned The Hades Calculus on https://itch.io, but this is still absolutely worth it. I've been staring at The Eidolon Files all day. I love this type of technical document. It's really giving me a lot of inspiration to write a small-scope prequel fanfic starring Pyrrha and Deidamia.

benjanun.bsky.social•2 days ago

oh thank you so much!

draekos.bsky.social•9 days ago

I feel silly for asking, but are there print versions of the full novels yet? I really can't do long form reading on a screen like that D:

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

there is a print version of Hades Calculus and there will be ones for Zeus Constant and Flower of the Underworld as well :D here's for HC https://www.amazon.com/Hades-Calculus-Gunmetal-Olympus/dp/B0D83P4T17

draekos.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh! Hm. Shame it's Amazon, but that's the world we live in.

Time to see how bad the price difference is on .ca instead

ciricegray.bsky.social•9 days ago

Unfortunately they remain the only good way to print on demand self publish

draekos.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah... Yeah I get it. I hate it, but I get it

draekos.bsky.social•9 days ago

I save... 84 cents?

HELL YEAH, THAT'S A BARGAIN

That’s perfect, thank you! I’m newish to itch lol still learning the ropes

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

Most contributors are American trans women and the proceeds will really help them (especially the trans WOC) survive current conditions. I'm earmarking my share to put into GFMs of trans women fleeing the US. If you can't afford the bundle and we know each other, let me know and I'll gift you one!

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

For full transparency, revenue is split completely evenly. This is because we want GO to function as a sort of shared world, for collaborative storytelling. Everyone is equal. :)

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

We, uh, just hit 47% of our goal...

Comment image

benjanun.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'm really happy we all came together to create this bundle--the contributors have massively expanded the scope of the world and the characters (Zeus Constant is 'HC from Zeus' POV' but that doesn't do it justice, it's so much more than that).

Also we're at 59% now somehow.
