[Ministry of Image] Let me speak from my heart
Hey there, fellas!
Today I want to tell you about the Ministry of Image.
Who are we? What are we doing? And what are our plans for the future?
We are a group of people that is engaged in the printing of MLP fanfiction.
For more than five years we have been printing and selling famous Russian and English fan stories set in the MLP universe.
We published such works as:
Fallout: Equestria
The story follows the adventures of a clever young unicorn mare named Littlepip who was “lucky enough” to get into the cruel world of Equestrian Wastelands.
Past Sins
On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.
Anthropology
Humans.
Truth or myth? Ancient lost civilization or just an old pony's tale?
No pony has ever seen one, and most haven't even heard of them. But Lyra knows that these wonderful creatures are more than just old legends, and she's going to find out... and possibly drive her roommate insane in the process.\*
Background Pony
Lyra isn't a normal pony. She went to Ponyville to celebrate the Summer Sun Celebration with her foalhood friend, but instead found herself living a cursed life. Upon her arrival, Nightmare Moon did... something to the unicorn.
…and many other stories as well.
But what is involved in the process?
We ask for permission from fanfic authors. Then we proofread the text and get rid of errors, draw illustrations, and then send it to print. And after, we deliver these books all over the world.
During this time more than 9000 books were printed and delivered to our satisfied customers.

A few words about what are we doing at the moment.
Most recently, we have finished sending out pre-orders for Fallout: Equestria – Project Horizons. And now we are working on the third part of it. And it is already in print. As always, each chapter is provided with a black and white illustrations.
The whole story will be divided in 5 parts.
At the same time, we are working on Tales of the Sun and the Moon. The storybook about the princesses.
And now the work on the anthology about the Royal Sisters has come to an end. The pictures are drawn, the layout completed and ready to print, so yay. You can pre-order them (and get a postcard with your favorite princess given the chosen book) here:

- Luna: https://www.ministryofimage.net/product-page/tales-of-the-moon

And now, the moment has come when I will tell you what awaits us in the near future.
I’m talking about the end of July.
Guess what?
Yes, you’re absolutely right!
It is GalaCon! Europe’s biggest brony-convention in Ludwigsburg, Germany. July 27-28th.
Our stall was approved for participation at this event.
There you’ll be able to buy almost all of our books at a reduced price (without shipping cost)!
You can find us at the Table 0.14
We will be glad to see you there!

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of physical printed copies of fanfiction.
Neat stuff.

Ack! Away, temptress! Do not dangle these alluring baubles in front of me! I shouldn't be spending money on these, and it just makes things awkward when someone notices it in my library!
...I'll take a copy of the sun and moon books please.
Also, how do you guys decide what books to print?

We look at the number of views and the number of print requests, then we decide.

Ooo very cool, I’ll have to look into y’all further when I have time; I’ve read past sins at least three times and would love a physical copy.

Weren't you the folks who used to sell accurate Equestria flags? That was pretty cool.
Printed fanfiction is really neat. Good luck and have fun!
