Hello!
I’m sorry to bother you about this as I imagine you get questions about it a lot. But I just can’t bring myself to give up the search yet. I heard you were one of the organizers of the Destiel “To Hell and Back” Anthology. And I’m just trying to find out if there is even the smallest possibility for me to get a copy. I never knew about it until recently otherwise I definitely would have contributed and ordered one. Is there anyone you know I could speak to about either purchasing the PDF or what the cost would be to have another hard copy made? I’m open to just about anything if I can afford it.
Honestly maybe I’m just hoping to hear right from the source that this is a lost cause so I can get my brain to stop fixating on it.
I’ve been asking around and contacted another person who was involved but I have not heard back, perhaps they have not been online (or maybe I’m just driving everyone crazy, sorry about that!). I’m just really sad I missed out the first time because I would have been all over it.
I’d appreciate anything you could tell me, thank you for your time!
Hi friend! Thank you for reaching out!
Unfortunately, there is no way to obtain a physical or digital copy of our anthology. I totally empathize with you on the regret and disappointment of missing out but unfortunately we are on a strict deadline with our project and at this point in time, we cannot exchange any sort of payment because we are getting ready to donate all the funding we raised to the charities we outlined and talked about on our official anthology blog: @tohellandbackanthology.
As a registered incorporated non-profit society in our home province of British Columbia, Canada, we are obligated to fill out income tax forms this coming April and as such, we prefer to have our finances in complete order before we do so.
The cost of producing a single copy of our anthology would be in the amount of several hundreds :/ The only reason we were able to lower the cost was because of the huge amount of support and orders we received. Sadly, I don’t believe our printer would accept an order for a single copy. They are the largest hardcover printer of books in Canada and contracts are done on a large order basis.
That said, we do have an AO3 collection for our authors and artists. It is on a voluntary basis, so not all the contributors have opted to post their work, but there are still a fair amount and best of all, it’s totally free! 🥳
Once again, I’m super sorry about this! But thank you so much for your understanding and I hope you enjoy the works posted on AO3 thus far! ❤️
