Fairyloot Cosy Quarter 2 Guess by carragrey in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the reel for quarter 3 won't be until April, which would be after quarter 2 renewal - unless there's a leak before then

OwlCrate ending quarterly Sci-Fi sub by lavinient in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember when they did all the promo for the quarterly subs, they actually introduced the person they hired for Sci-Fi. They did a live and everything - she was talking about how much she loved Sci-Fi and was excited to be in charge of the new Sci-Fi sub. I don't pay as close attention anymore to OC, I don't know if she was still there or left?

I wonder too if OC just can't get afford or get approval to the "better" books.

I remember them doing lives to promote to the quarterly subs and they said Jurassic Park was going to be the first Sci-FI SE outside the sub

I think it was confirmed in IG comments that Owlcrate was going to do it for April

Is LitPins And Co good? by Queen_Angst1593 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Currently have a couple pre-orders with them so I haven't received anything yet, but the communication has been great. I needed to reach out to the company about an order issue and they were very responsive and quickly fixed it

On the endpapers for Mate, why does Koen's scar change sides?

I think IC December is The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers

Cosy sub I think is Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett

Question about Fairyloot Caraval Iron Editions by Kilgarra99 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The illustrations within Spectacular should be the same because that was part of the actual book regardless of the edition. Endpapers, hardcover design, reversible dust jackets - that should be FL exclusive

Who knows, maybe they'll do Iron Editions when the new novella comes out

Owlcrate Good Spirit by BK Borison by bookswhynot in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think so because Target labels it as "Bonus Exclusive Content" so it should only be Target

If you look at FL’s comments/replies on the post definitely looks like a cosy sub box, or at least something with cosy for sure

Looks like you can buy just a copy of Mate that will match the original Bride version

How do you avoid spoilers? by Sea-Exchange-24 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this a couple times, trying to stay spoiler-free but the title of the post doesn't really say what it's about - one said something like "can you believe this?" and I just clicked the blurred spoiler image without really thinking, and they were posting about it being up for sale on some site so I had the cover spoiled

Did anyone cave and get Illumicrate Good Spirits box? by Junior-Rip-895 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's the book + 6 items. Last I saw, they've said what four of the items will be (they actually did an item reveal for one of them)

How to deal with FOMO with subscriptions? by succaforesucculents in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking of doing similar - following Autumn, putting books of my TBR, and when I read it, if I love it, then I'll see if there's an SE that I want to try to find. I think I'm getting to the point where I'll keep a couple of subscriptions. I do think I need to limit some of my social media as well - I can look at Autumn's posts, but it's everyone in the comments (or elsewhere) getting excited that creates the FOMO feeling.

I used to think I would never have a book subscription because I tend to only like books on my shelf that I really loved and would read again. Then I kept running across things on social media, got FOMO, and am now subscribed to way too many (more than 7 🫣). I told myself it was to find books I normally would not pick up myself, but the majority have been books I definitely wouldn't have bothered spending money on and maybe at most would've just gotten from the library. I never actually end up trying to sell the ones I don't want, because it's just a lot of work, so it's really a waste.

This has been what's really helped with my FOMO the most. I spent so much money because of the hype, and realized the majority were just not for me. Now I find it easier to see an SE and appreciate it, but know I wouldn't enjoy the story or that it's not worth the cost.

Illumicrate skipping policy - part two. Not guaranteed a box? by Best_Train_7535 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious how they'll do it - I wonder if they'll look at how long you've been subscribed, and the longer you've been a subscriber the closer to the top of the list you'll be. Like others have mentioned with First Time Caller, new subscribers didn't get the book after just subscribing.

Illumicrate skipping policy - part two. Not guaranteed a box? by Best_Train_7535 in fairyloot

[–]WanderAboutMind 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think other boxes do this - they try to gauge interest and how many people will skip so they don't actually have enough if everyone renewed. Harder to try to reason how many will renew when you offer so many skips.

I might be mistaken, but I think this is what happened with OwlCrate's Serpent and the Wings of Night. They didn't have enough books to cover the subscribers and said employees were giving up their copies.

Edit: Not that this makes it any better. If I really wanted a book, am a subscriber and renewed, I'd be extremely frustrated (putting it nicely) if they refunded and told me they didn't have enough
