Wow, you lovely people did it... You unlocked every stretch goal I laid out and then some! I've been working hard thinking about some more stretch goals we can really streeeeetch to get to, and I've got a couple to share with you now!

The first is well within reach: I'd like to commission artist Mochibuni for a piece to be included on the final cover art. Mochibuni has beautiful colorful eye-popping work and was gracious enough to let me use her work as an example on the story page! I thought it would be perfect to put a bit more back into the artist community by doing a little commission. (Psst you can also commission Mochibuni too! Or follow on Bluesky!)

After that, we're going for polyamory poses. Polyam shoots are significantly more expense because I will need to pay 3 models, and locate 3 models who are comfortable getting that close with one another. Plus, paying for the photographer to capture 3 models (it's more difficult overall!) is a little more, and travel payments if I find models that are perfect are in play, so this one's a bit out there, but I think if you folks really want it, it's not undoable at all:

Thank you so much for all your support so far! I can't wait to see where else this project takes us.

There's lots of projects in The Book Bazaar that are still unfunded, and since we're entering into the plateau period of crowdfunding where everything slows or even stops, these creators might spend the next few weeks stressing out that their projects will fail! If you love reading, many of these projects have ebooks for just $5 and can use your help to reach their funding goals! There's a little something for everyone, including gay superheroes, small presses with *multiple* titles, queer cyberpunk, fox spirits, and so much more.

Here's one that's really just $16 away from funding:

This YA fantasy romance book features characters purposely with their physical features omitted so you can imagine them to be anyone you'd like! The story centers around humans and demons trying to learn to co-exist. Please check it out and back it if you believe in it!
