Project Update: Sept 4 - Where We're At
All right, my beloved backers, just a quick update on Where We're At, ten days after the crowdfund project ended!
- Yesterday afternoon I went to get my ducks in a row to order the magnets, and the company I ordered the sample magnet from...
...has disappeared off the face of the internet.
After a few baffled hours of searching for different places to source them from, I've now got two leads (on places I LITERALLY emailed to say "are you a real company with real people that is not going to disappear from the internet after I order a sample magnet???", one of whom actually PHONED me back) and am ONCE MORE getting sample magnets, which is, I admit, not a hitch I'd in any way anticipated. - Stickers, mousepads, and posters are all waiting for the funds to come in so I can order them, so THAT's sorted, at least
- Everyone who got a bigger-ticket item - the critiques, Tuckerizations, & short stories - has been contacted & I'm working out details of how everything's going to go with those.
- Bookplate design poll is weighing considerably in favor of a 'SHARK-MAN 4EVAH' theme and someone suggested a Shark-Man cartoon with a 'This book makes my fins tingle!' balloon so now I'm gonna ask Trashmancer if she can do one of those because I think it'd be really funny :D
I'm leaving on a Bon Jovi writing retreat early next week and will be gone for about two weeks, so there will not realistically be any updates during that time. I will also almost certainly not be writing the short stories for people during that time because I've got a huge project that I'll be trying to blast my way through, and splitting my focus won't help me do that. :)
If you would like, though, I can try to have an edited-but-not-quite-final draft of the book for you early next week, so you have something to amuse yourselves with in my absence. It'll be missing a couple of short and sweet things that will make the BackerKit edition unique unto itself, but the actual book part of it will be done, so let me know if you'd like that, or if you want to wait for the whole package. :)
