Welp. This was unexpected. Apparently, the top tier, Deus Aper, sold out yesterday.
While I'm pleasantly surprised by the demand for the Sumus Omnes Porcos mugs, I'm not nearly as surprised as my friends at the pottery studio will be. They've been watching me chip away at these with looks that say, "She is completely out of her mind."
Truly, I can't tell you how many lovely, unsuspecting people have seen my mugs-in-progress and asked "What do those words mean?" only to regret asking and to hope they never run into me again during open studio hours.
Here I am realizing the Deus Aper tier sold out on day 2:
Note: This is a dramatization where H. Claire is being portrayed by an unpaid actor who has broken into her office.
Anyway, I've just increased the limit from 10 to 15, and that's gonna be the end of it for this campaign.
And don't worry: if you already picked a lower tier because Deus Aper was sold out, you can still change your selection!
(If you show up later to the fun and miss out, I'd bet I'll come up with some other pottery idea for the And It Was Good campaign you can jump in on.)
Holy whoever, y'all! We funded! In less than 24 hours!
What does this mean for us? It means we're actually doing this thing. You will get the goodies you ordered.
What's next? More fun, and that's both it and the whole point.
When this project hits 50 backers, everyone will get a bonus refrigerator magnet thrown into their treats:
I already have one up on my fridge.
If you want that magnet, YOU HAVE THE POWER to help me get the word out about this project and attract more Smiters. Sharing on social media or just texting the link to a friend who might like it is a great way to start.
We still have a lotta days left in this campaign, but I'm glad you're here.
If you have a second to burn, go vote in this poll I added, and let me know who you would cast as the voice of God in The Beginning: Vote here.
Thank you to everyone who's already backed. I'm (almost) speechless.
The Girl Christ keychains arrived today. They feel even better in my hand than I'd hoped. Nice and heavy, classic look. Immediately added one to my own keychain (perk of being in charge).
These will be available as individual add-ons or as part of each of the tiers except "The Beginning" (which includes only the hardcover special edition).
The Tiers:
Not sure what would happen if you tried to stake a vampire or perform an exorcism with one of these keychains, but PLEASE report back to me if you attempt either of those.
You can help me get the word out about this campaign to make sure we hit the funding goal by:
1. Telling your friends about it. 2. Restacking one of my Substack posts, like this one. 3. Telling your friends about it again because they were staring at their phone and not paying attention the first time.
New details, images, and irreverence ahead of the launch!
Hi folks! Thanks for your interest in the project ahead of launch.
If you didn't notice, I pushed this launch back to October, which is the actual month it was release ten years ago. This gives me a little runway for marketing, which I've done a shit job of so far.
I invite you to take a peek at the preview page to read more about what's on offer in this campaign. Go here.
Once you've hit that Count Me In! button to follow the project, I could use your help telling others about it. If you want to help spread the Good Word, here are three ways you can do that:
Post a link to the project on social media and tell people why you're excited to back.
Use it as a conversation starter to text some friends you haven't spoken to in a while.
Send a link directly to the person in your family who would be the most offended by it. They'll get on Facebook to rant about it and I'll get free advertising.
I'd love to get the follower number up to 100 before I launch, because I just ordered 200 copies of the special edition, and I need to move some fucking inventory, y'all. Either that or become the cardboard queen, living among the boxes of unsold books, breathing in the shameful scent of my own failure for time untold.
Soooo, yeah! I'm glad you're a backer. I just wanted to touch base and let you know what's in the works.
Holy whoever, y'all! We funded! In less than 24 hours!
