EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - Russian publishers announced they will have TFHC printed (I mean in paper like a real book). Need your official confirmation. Is it true???
TRUE!!!!!!!!!
Popcorn Books has Russian rights to Foxhole Court!!! :D :D
YOU GUYS, WE ARE GONNA HAVE OFFICIAL AUDIOBOOKS. AAAAAAAAAAA.
The slightly longer explanation is I signed with Tantor Media for English audiobooks, just got my finalized contract so here I am to share the good news!! First Polish translations and now audiobooks, on a series I thought maybe 20-30 people would ever pick up. What the everloving fuck, you guys. Where is my cardboard dog when I need something to squish?
IT’S HERE
I keep refreshing the page because I can’t believe it’s real… If this is a dream do not wake me up ;_; <3

why the fuck isn't the foxhole court on iBooks

woW it was before?? like four months ago but idk why they removed it, it’s pretty weird since the king’s men and the raven king are still available, maybe you should ask @korakos :/
Distribution to iBooks is handled via Smashwords, and since we’ve got a conflict going on right now Smashwords had no choice but to temporarily archive the book mid-October. Books 2 & 3 aren’t involved, which is how they’re still up. Still waiting to hear back from the 3rd party so we can get book 1 up again. In the meantime, @ais-n offered to host the file in a couple different formats over on her site:
Thanks for your patience <3
vague update time:
The Smashwords thing is a little more complicated than I want it to be, and I get to spend this weekend searching for & contacting people to try and get it resolved. Since Smashwords was the main distributor to non-Amazon networks eg the Apple iBooks store, some of ya’ll have noticed that book 1 has vanished pretty much across the board. Exciting. ((she says in sarcasm font)) Thanks for your continued patience. ;_;
ngl, this was a jarring end to a week that had some potentially exciting things happening. Leave us some good news if you’ve got cool things going on with you & yours– we could use a bit of pick-me-up to get through the weekend <33
which reminds me: GUYS IF YOU WANT TO START THE SERIES BUT YOU CAN’T FIND THE FIRST BOOK ANYWHERE THAT ISN’T AMAZON (AND YOU DON’T OWN A KINDLE) JUST CONTACT ME - OR POTENTIALLY ANYONE ELSE IN THE FANDOM- SO WE CAN SEND IT TO YOU!
You can also contact me if you want the first book and i can send it to you!
Thank you, lovies ;_; <3
Also! The lovely @ais-n has created a temporary page for TFC downloads to help out – that way if ya’ll want, you are free to download copies from a site instead of wrangling ‘em via email. Right now we’ve got the pdf, mobi, and epub versions hiding there.

Hello, @korakos ! I’ve been scrolling down your blog and I found out that you like Aaron better then Nicky, Renee and Allison. Can I ask you what traits make him so likeable? + I don’t know if you’ve ever done that (you probably did and was asked about it like a thousand times) but who is in your top 5 favourite characters from AFTG?
I probably have answered the Top 5 before, but it is a shuffling list. There have been too many drafts and too many years for it to be a static thing; their evolving stories & my aging have given me different insights and appreciations for them. The only character with a noticeable growing apathy is Abby, and that’s mostly my fault, since I axed most of her storyline.
The current top five of the Foxes are Neil, Andrew, Kevin, Dan, and Matt. Aaron is six of ten nine. I love Wymack but I also don’t believe in Healthy Father Figures so he will never make the cut as a reliable believable character.
AARON, my beloved little shithead.
Am assuming if ya’ll are here ya’ll’ve read the books but this is rambling & spoiler-ridden so it is going behind a cut. Sorry mobile users, the year trucks on and Nora is still hella obsessed with Read-Mores. Also assume there will be typos and odd grammar because a) me + proper english = notp, and b) vodka.
It was perfect, utterly perfect, and Neil felt at once inspired and horrified by the sight of it. How could he possibly play here? He closed his eyes and breathed in, breathed out, imagining the way bodies sounded as they crashed into each other on the court, the way the announcer’s voice would only come through in muffled, scattered bursts, the roar of sixty-five thousand people reacting to a goal. He knew he didn’t deserve this, knew beyond a doubt he wasn’t good enough to play on this court, but he wanted and needed it so badly he ached all over.
… He’d made the right decision. The risks didn’t matter; the consequences would be worth it. He had to be here. He had to play on this court at least once. He had to know if the crowd screamed loud enough to blow the roof off. He had to smell the sweat and overpriced stadium food. He needed to hear the buzzer sound as a ball slammed inside the white goal lines and lit the walls up red.
“Oh,” Nicky said … “No wonder he chose you.”

Partly in response to this post, partly related to the most recent message sent me::
ah, @everythingthatmatters, you should’ve saved yourself the time of looking, you won’t find it on my Tumblr. Those two conversations were private messages, one of which got screencapped and copied over to the original Foxhole court network.
Truth: TFC merchandise makes me deeply uncomfortable. Truth: I only halfway understand why. Truth: the last lovely person who made products & then messaged me to make sure it was okay ((maybe the one @foxholemadness is referring to?)) got the go-ahead because the products were already posted and people were so happy to see them.
Truth: Official verdict as of 2.23.16 is that it doesn’t matter what I feel about it; if ya’ll want to design things for the Foxes and their universe then you are free to do so with my blessing.
2.22 - 3.31
I’m setting myself some pseudo deadlines for the paperbacks. If I can get everything sorted out – and get the proofs here in time to check / double check / correct? – then I will try to have the paperbacks out on Kevin’s birthday.
If it takes a couple rounds with the post office ((I think it takes 5 days or so for Amazon to print a proof and mail it to me for inspection?)) then the books will have to wait until Neil’s birthday March 31st, because I am too obsessed with numbers to release the books on any day in-between.
Hopefully having a deadline will keep me focused & on task, ya’ll know I’m easily distracted.
Thanks to @coldsaturn keeping better track of things than I ever have ((and probably ever will)) the Foxhole Court Asks archive is finally up to date. I didn’t organize it very well when I first set it up, because honestly I didn’t think it’d get more than 20 questions and therefore wouldn’t need proper categories, so it’s kind of a mess right now. I’ll try to clean it up later, but for now it’s done.
Thank you all so much!

Nora! Nora wait! Before you step away from the fox kids, could we see your renditions of them from the comic?? It would be so, sooo soooooo wonderful to have a visual to go with all the intense feels! 2016 is not for another 24 hours... so I'm crossing my fingers. :D Thank you Nora, you radiant butterfly, and best of luck with your new projects!

what are the fox's thoughts during the scene at the hotel with Andrew and Neil? I know that that scene was like the final proof for Allison but what about everybody else?
