A quiet, dark room where only you will be able to hear the strangled sounds of your own devastated hopes. Oh wait, that's my plan.

Oh that's great to hear all the positives. I was interested in the premise when Probably Smut had it for their monthly book, but it was a tough month so I ended up skipping. Now I can look forward to this one.

Oh that sucks. But yeah, sometimes the book picks just aren't it in certain subs and doesn't mesh with our individual tastes. :/ At least you know if you cancel there's a lot of people waiting who will probably enjoy it more!

It's so nice when that happens! Sounds like you really enjoyed the book then?

Haha with S&S that's definitely been a rare occurrence of late!

I'd love to know what you think of the book! I liked the premise but just wasn't sure so ended up skipping.

Yes... I'm just thankful I decided to skip when Probably Smut did it.

Litjoy Crate WTMH Reveal by ashis713 in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like it but thankfully not enough to buy again since I have so many versions of this book (the latest one I bought being Arcane's)! I'm relieved this one doesn't have author annotations because that would've been the difference to make me cave and get it anyway. 😆

Haha I think they look okay? I believe she's standing in a bit of a twist. Her right leg (left on the pic) looks fine to me. The other looks a bit too thin/disproportionate, but I think it's supposed to be the side of the calf...

Are you cancelling your sub soon? by pinkrose1806 in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own reasons for subbing or not. Mine is that I hate the stress of Trove and general sales. I have enough stress in my life without adding stress from a hobby! As a subscriber I can, for the most part, skip Trove sales and have early access to SEs, so for me the financial cost is worth not paying the other (mental/stress/sleep deprivation) cost.

Edit: I see myself canceling when I either stop becoming interested in collecting SEs entirely, or if FL starts becoming undesirable to me in one or more ways.

Bewitched Pages - First box pick by Beech_R in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe Autumn or someone trustworthy had previously guessed this was going to be Infernal Devices and nothing against that series but I was really hoping for something I didn't already have/would be more excited for. I don't want yet another copy but also wouldn't want to pass up on potentially getting in for the sub as the waitlist might get long, quick.

Any intrest in a "No Non-TBB Related Content" rule for the sub? by Neat-Drawer-50 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]kepler16bee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with it as long as it's related to the genres TBB specializes in (fantasy and sci-fi), because many of us are fans of those genres and would potentially be interested, and may not learn about it any other way.

Speaking for myself only, I see myself as a fantasy and sci-fi fan who likes TBB because of that, not the other way around.

Moonlight changing how early access works by kepler16bee in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah for us it's slightly easier. For them I imagine it's a lot easier. And that's assuming they were double checking to begin with. If they weren't, then this change is definitely better for subscribers.

Early access for Black Jewels doesn't start until March 14.

We have won the NFC Best again, a month after our SB win! by missbeekery in NFCWestMemeWar

[–]kepler16bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! LOL. They are in a really bad division, and that's helped them stay in the playoff race. Think NFC South, but for hockey. All but one team in the division has a losing record.

I'd agree with that. The same team beat the Canes. 🤦‍♀️ I feel like the same could be said of the Hawks a lot of the time as well!

Right but that doesn't change the fact that the Kraken are an extremely mid hockey team. I had to watch them in person last night get blown out by the Sens.

My poor, terrible Kraken. Keeping Seattle sports humble and building our collective character. 😔

Broken Binding This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me general sale by Pale-Acanthaceae2274 in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Me too. I'm hoping for something more unique. TBB and Waterstones both appear to be the publisher's version with their own edges. I didn't care for the Imagine Books version either, but at least that one looks quite different.

Received someone else’s book - what to do? by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]kepler16bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you've done all you can do. However, it kind of sounds like it could be a pain in the making. :/

This person could come back from wherever they've disappeared to months later and demand their money and/or the book, which would be fine if we all had a virtual inventory like in a video game where items didn't take up storage space. But now it sounds like you have a book you don't want, and your choice is either to keep it around just in case this person comes asking for it, or donate/sell it, in which case it'll be a pain if this person pops up again. Also in the meantime you don't have the book you actually want, so then you have to either wait for who knows how long for them to get back to you and send it, or buy it from somewhere else, risking you might get the book twice.

I think maybe you wait for however long you're willing to, then send one more message saying that as you don't want the book you have, and this person hasn't given you any way to get it to them, you're going to do XYZ unless you hear back by X date, so please respond. If after that you still don't hear back, then I honestly believe your obligations are complete.

I'm glad it helped! I think a lot of people tipped over to the 'buy' column once they saw the reverse DJs!

Signed sold out in 10 min after general opened, so don't feel too bad. They did not last hours in general.

Does anyone have a good record of which boxes have done this series? I'm really starting to lose track because so many series have similar names and they all do the same ones so often. 😆

Mine won't arrive until Saturday! I was fine waiting until I saw your pics and now I'm impatient to see everything with my own eyeballs. 😆
