Project Update: New enamel pin addons!

Hi Folks!

I've got a new surprise for you, because I just got them in stock! This was a special addon from our Lesbians in Space campaign in September, but I got some extra goodies on the side...

Introducing: Space Wizard enamel pins! These have an anodized metal front, with white fill, and each has two pin posts in the back to hold it on securely! I've only got a very limited extra supply of these (like, five) because they were so popular in the last campaign. If we run out, I'll see about making another order, so let me know if you want one when they're gone!

Two enamel pins. One has two femme people in front of a ringed planet, and one person is holding a battleaxe aloft. The other pin has two femmes in spacesuits kissing through their helmets. both have an anodized metal finish.


But that's not all! I got a special edition version of the pins, in Halloween colors! The front is orange with black fill...

Two enamel pins. One has two femme people in front of a ringed planet, and one person is holding a battleaxe aloft. The other pin has two femmes in spacesuits kissing through their helmets. both have an orange finish with black fill.


And they glow in the dark in green! There are also only five of these, so get them while you can!

You can get both sets in our addons section! Thanks to Aimee Cozza for her design work on these!

We're rocketing toward our first stretch goal! Remember, at $6500, everyone gets a free short story from Connor Kim in the world of A Bond of Wildflowers, and if you back ten projects in The Book Bazaar, you get an anthology of stories from all the creators. Mine will be an unhinged David Attenborough-esqe documentary of an alien creature living on the leg of a titanic alien!

Project Update: Space Wizard Year 5 is fully funded!

And we're funded!

Thank you all for your support of Space Wizard! Because of funding these campaigns, we can continue to put out quality science fiction and fantasy stories featuring queer characters and written by queer authors.

Hopefully we've all had a bit of hope in the last two days (especially if you're in the US), so I'll make this quick, and let you get on to the fun bit. Since you all overwhelmingly voted for the David Attenborough alien critter documentary story for the anthology (by 74%!), I have another poll for you. What's the weird quirk of this alien species?

1) It closely resembles a Venus flytrap, but flies.
2) It spends its whole life upside-down on one leg of a titanic beast that roams the world.
3) It's made of gas.
4) It's a creature made from smaller creatures.
5) The species is born with technological implants but is not sentient/sapient.

Remember, we have some great stretch goals coming up, so keep telling friends and family about the campaign!

At $6,500 We have a great new short story for you, from Connor Kim. This goes along with their debut fey/romance story, A Bond of Wildflowers. I've worked with Connor for years, and they write incredible emotion for their characters!

At $7,500 We will pay for a new cover, by Spoon of Spoonwood Visuals  for the the first three books in my Shifting Lands series. This collects Physical Magic, Intent Magic, and Pressure Magic into one volume, and all backers get an eBook copy! It will be over 650 pages! 

- Until later!

Project Update: Space Wizard Year 5 Part 2 is over 75% funded!

Hi Folks!

We're right at 77% funded. Can we get to fully funded in a week? That's only two more days...

And if you're anxious today (for reasons, and live in the US), maybe looking through some new queer books would be a balm? If not that, then how about some more voting? You have voted if you're in the US, right?

Below is a poll to tell me what to write! If you back 10+ projects in The Book Bazaar, you'll be getting an anthology with submissions by all the creators of TBB! That's more stories for you, for free!

So, what do you want to see as a contribution from Space Wizard? This will be a flash fiction-length story, and I'm open to ideas. Here are some concepts I have so far, so vote for what you want, or write down a suggestion as a comment! Let me hear it!

Options:

1) A worldbuilding dossier about a new species on an unknown planet, in the style of David Attenborough

2) A flash fiction in the world of my novel Fruits of the Gods, which will hopefully be getting a sequel in 2027

3) A completely new and unrelated steampunk adventure (suggestions in the comments welcome)

4) None of these and I want to suggest something below

Project Update: A great first day for Space Wizard!

Hi Folks!

We're up and running on our Year 5 part 2 Space Wizard campaign! The Book Bazaar has 8 out of 39 projects already funded, and the collection has passed $31,000 already. You all are amazing!

Let's keep up the momentum and get this campaign funded as soon as we can! We've got some great stretch goals coming, including a new short story for everyone, and a new Omnibus cover:

Our funding goal is $5,000, but then...

At $6,500 We have a great new short story for you, from Connor Kim. This goes along with their debut fey/romance story, A Bond of Wildflowers. I've worked with Connor for years, and they write incredible emotion for their characters!

At $7,500 We will pay for a new cover, by Spoon of Spoonwood Visuals  for the the first three books in my Shifting Lands series. This collects Physical Magic, Intent Magic, and Pressure Magic into one volume, and all backers get an eBook copy! It will be over 650 pages!



And if you need a hint of what great work Spoon can do, take a look at the Space Wizard novella collection! I should be getting in the first copies of this in a few days, and they're available in the campaign!

A figure in an orange/red spacesuit with the Space Wizard logo on the chest holds a crystal ball in their hand. Inside the ball, a jungle is visible, with the hint of scorpion claws. In the spacesuit's visor, the ball is reflected as a geodesic dome. around the figure float stars and dandelion seeds.


If you want more like this, let's hit that goal and charge forward to the stretch goals!

More updates soon!
