You got us to 1,000, and because you followed before launch, the Crystal Ballroom Library Card is yours free when you back. That part is settled.
Here’s the schedule for the rest of the week. The campaign goes public Thursday, September 10 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET, right here on BackerKit. Before that, the doors open early: Sundra patrons tomorrow, Tuesday the 8th. Merk patrons Wednesday the 9th.
If you want in before the public, tonight is the night to join: patreon.com/steverude. Merk is $5 and gets you in Wednesday with the only signed paperback anywhere. Sundra is $25, gets you in tomorrow, and includes the digital edition of the book plus a genuine homemade Nexus-themed cookie celebrating the anniversary.
Not a patron and happy to wait for Thursday? That’s completely fine. The book is the same book, and every pledge level includes the Crystal Ballroom Library Card (Digital) for the Nexus Reading Library. Set an alarm for 10 AM PT and we’ll see you there.
Last day at the booth today, then the whole crew heads home saying thank you, Atlanta. Vootie!
Thanks for the great showing on the first day! Right now, we're about 65% funded, and going strong.
If you didn't see it in the campaign, I'm very happy to say that the first anthology, Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before is up for a major award from The British Fantasy Society! If you didn't get a copy in the first campaign in March, you can get yours in this campaign! It's also going out to retail right now, and should be available soon at Audible, Chirp, Apple, and all those other places you listen to audiobooks.
Please keep getting the word out to friends and family about the new audiobook. I have something new and exciting in the works...once we hit our funding goal, I'll announce it. See the achievement below!
And I have a new poll for you: What's your favorite Lesbians in Space trope? Let me know!
Later on today this lil project will launch & I am so excited to get this story to all of you. It has been so fun to make and it has brought me to places I never would've guessed & has caused me to meet some awesome people.
I thought I was supposed to carry the story, turns out it's carrying me.
Regardless, as we wait for this campaign to go underway just wanted to update you all on some things I'm working on!
As of right now I am working on the art for Chapter 9 of Am I Human. If you would like to hang out with me while I work on it I'll be streaming it on Youtube and Twitch! So come on over, I'd love to see you!
I have two one shot comics for your reading pleasure, you can get physical versions of them as add-on's in the campaign!
Currently I am experimenting with and am planning on pursuing making animated cartoons. There is a "joke" tier for making a cartoon of Am I Human, but if by some off chance it gets met you bet your sweet bippy I'll be animating the whole thing and get some animators to help me with it. Let's aim for the moon, amiright?
Anyways, I hope you all have a great day & I wish you luck on all things you are passionate about!
We're only two days away from launching the campaign, and boy, oh boy, am I nervous! You never know how these things will go and what the public will think until it's go time. I've done a bunch of these before, but it never gets easier and always requires a combination of hard work, experience, vision, and dumb luck.
So when the magic happens around noon on Thursday, please support this project any way you can. Pledge (obviously), but also share the word wherever you can! I REALLY need Thursday to be a VERY good day, and y'all are the key to opening strong.
I've done a fairly massive pre-launch campaign for this, which I haven't done for any of my other campaigns. I hope it pays off!
