Alder by Post Update: Life Ate Me

I apologize profusely.

I’ve been eaten by life, and work, and Camp Nano and everything else.

I will catch up within August, and get everything out to you by the end of September.

Again, I apologize profusely.

Alder By Post

Alder by Post

Things didn’t truly start getting fun until the whole class got in on the glitter-bombing.

Let me tell you about Alder by Post.

Once upon a time, [personal profile] eseme said to me, “why don’t you do your own postcard magazine?”

And I said, “Hunh, that sounds like a good idea.”

And thus Alder by Post was born.

Once a month, I send out a little postcard full to the margins with a little fiction.

Everybody knew that pixies and Tiny Folk hated each other…

She had been waiting, the stories said, for a hundred years…

I try to keep the stories light-hearted and safe for all audiences (my mother reads these). Some are drawn from my extant universes. Some are drawn from Giraffe Call prompts. Some are just stories that pop into my head.

Year two is just about to begin. Join us!

Alder by Post!

Alder by Post issue Seven is ready to go, and Issue Eight won’t be far behind!

Get in now, while I still have a copy or two of every issue so far!

Issue Seven is an Addergoole Story, set in the Village. Issue Eight is set in a Space universe.

And all of them together make a beautiful collection, as shown by reader & subscriber [personal profile] eseme in these pictures!

Alder by Post
I love real mail.

Not catalogs I didn’t ask for, circulars, coupons, offers of car insurance, or anything else addressed to “Resident.” I love letters and post cards and packages, real mail from real people.

Alder by Post combines the excitement of getting real mail with brand new flash fiction from an author whose work I enjoy. It would be impossible for me not to love this project.

Alder by Post

There are plenty of other things to love about Alder by Post, if you are not a fan of physical mail as I am. The stories (often, but not always, set in one of Lyn’s many fascinating worlds) are exclusives. They do not appear on her website or in any electronic format. For fans of her work, this is a way to get access to all the stories.

In addition to the story, each card has themed artwork on both the front and back. The stories are complete on the front of the card, while a short related story appears on the back. The postcards are also limited editions, so those who enjoy collecting and completing a set will want to order back issues while they still can! Each card is signed and numbered by Lyn.

Alder by Post

I have found that the best way to display your Alder by Post collection is a scrapbook, sized six by six inches (that would be the size of the pages inside) or as close as you can get in metric. While the cards are all roughly four by six inches, some are a bit wider than four inches, and a typical photo album has a paper or plastic backing that goes behind the photo. This means you cannot see both sides of an Alder by Post card if you put it in a photo album, and you might have to trim it to fit the pocket besides. The scrapbook has removable paper inserts, and the cards display beautifully! Be aware that you will get half the pages that the label indicates (it assumes that you will put two pages inside each pocket, not one). However, additional pages can be purchased separately. I found mine at a national chain craft store.

Eseme, a reader

Alder By Post Update

[personal profile] eseme, [personal profile] rix_scaedu, [personal profile] inventrix, [personal profile] kelkyag, [personal profile] becka_sutton, Mom & Dad, and [personal profile] inventrix, I have mailed your JUNE Alder by Post.

[personal profile] lilfluff, [personal profile] anke, @Dahob, would you like copies gratis?

Anyone else want a copy? I still have editions of all but the first issue available as well; buying in bulk saves me postage & paypal fees and thus saves you, too 🙂

Issue One’s story is an Aunt Family Story take-off from the Gifts Giraffe Call Prompt on Glitter
Issue Two’s story is from Dragons Next Door, a bit of background on pixies & Tiny Folk.
Issue Three story is a setting-less piece called The Bramble Wife.
Issue Four’s story, from the Spring Cleaning Call, is a storm-based piece of Stranded fic.
Issue Five is a piece set in the Science! ‘verse on New Worlds
Issue Six, out of the Reiassan mini-call, is fittingly a piece of Callennan myth.
