The epub and pdf editions of Old Moon 9 and 10 are available now. Please download and peruse at your leisure! And let us know what you think of them either here, or on our social media!
The other digital downloads for back issues will be live once we lock orders on the pledge manager this weekend, as well.
Thank you again for your support, and we hope you all love these stories as much as we do!
The pledge manager is finally open! Please input your shipping info, purchase any add-ons you want, and so on and so forth. It will stay open until June 14th, at which point it will close, cards will be charged, and printing/shipping will begin.
Thank you, once again, for your patience! We can't wait for everyone to see these issues.
We have, at long last, received the final story for these two issues! That means we're very, very close to just about everything being done.
This also means we will (finally) be opening the pledge manager. We'll be sending out the smoke test tomorrow. If everything goes well, that means the pledge manager will be open by the end of the week. It will be open for a month, at which point it will close, orders will lock in, shipping will be charged, and you will (shortly thereafter) receive your physical rewards!
Digital rewards will go up sooner--as soon as we have everything for the final issue formatted correctly, in fact.
We very much appreciate everyone's patience. We know we're a few months behind schedule. It's never fun to hear "it was out of our control," but unfortunately, that was the case here. Now we're back on track, though, and very eager (and even happier!) to get these issues, and all the other rewards, out to you.
So, all of this is to say: keep an eye on your emails! That pledge manager will be in your inboxes shortly.
Once again: thank you all for your patience, and your support.
It's been a busy few months. We'll begin with the (slightly) bad news: we were planning on a January or February shipdate for our rewards. That was, it seems, a bit too ambitious. Some of our authors hit a few snags of their own, and long story short, their stories are delayed. On the way still, don't worry. But a bit slower than we originally planned.
Now the good news: we've every single piece of art ready, and every story ready except one. This means we have layout for our Arthurian special issue complete, and layout for our normal issue almost complete. The moment we get this last story, everything should progress very swiftly. We'll print all the issues, back issues, and assorted goodies, and send them to our fulfillment professional. Then, the Shippening shall commence.
We'll be printing proof copies of Issues 9 and 10 ASAP as well; once we have those ready, we'll be able to create the shipping tables, and open up the Pledge Manager. Which means you all will be able to get your digital rewards too!
Until all that happens (which should be relatively soon), we ask that you hang on for just a bit.
However, where there is good news, there is (occasionally) better news also! We've a full ToC reveal for you all today. Without further ado, here they are.

And as a sneak peak at what the issues might look like, gaze below!
Once again, thank you all so very much for your support and (we hope!) for your patience. These are, we feel, the best issues of Old Moon yet. We cannot wait for you all to see them.
Behold, the cover art for our Arthurian issue, created by the mighty Teresa Ramos (@Teradiam on various social media sites)!
A mighty knight, brought low by most perfidious archers
Production continues apace! We shall have a full ToC reveal within the coming weeks, as well as interior art and (very shortly thereafter) sneak peeks at the spreads!
Let us know what you think about the art in the comments below.
Production continues apace! We have concluded our open submission window, and now have in-hand all of the stories and poems for the upcoming issues, bar one (which is still being revised by its author). This puts right on schedule for our planned release, early next year! We might even have a little something extra to share in the next few weeks, if the stars align.
We've also almost all the art for each issue in hand! We're only waiting on a couple pieces of art for the open submission stories--this is also right on schedule, since we cannot commission the art for them until we've accepted the stories to which said art shall be attached. Thankfully, our beloved artists work with the utmost alacrity!
To wit, an example of the fruits of their labors, displayed below for your perusal, your speculation and, dare we say, your enjoyment.

A knight? A wildman? How strange! How weird! How deleterious, one might say, of...well, of something, one supposes.
Regardless! We hope this update, however brief, salves some of your collective desire (red-hot though it may be!) for Old Moon. Be on the lookout for more updates soon. Including, perhaps, more art.
And as always, thank you, dear backers. Without you, this magazine (and its lovely art, its lovely stories) would not be possible.
