We've funded in almost exactly four days! That was first thing Monday morning but we're reporting it now because hoo boy our publisher has lots to do.
There's a podcast episode about the anthology and a new collection from Matt John of Rogues in the House, as he and Oliver took turns interviewing each other about their respective new books. Listen to it here, and everywhere good podcasts are found (Search for "So I'm Writing a Novel").
Bonus Story Unlocked: Having more than 200 backers means "Pagan Poetry", a 6,000 word S&S tale written to the tune of this anthology, will be included with all pledges! It'll come as a digital extra in the usual formats.
Next Goal: Now we're working toward our first stretch goal (aka Achievement), SEXTUPLE ART! We're currently 78% of the way there.
New Add-On: Rainbow Metal Battle-Axe Pin. A 1.5 inch pin of the New Edge Sword & Sorcery battle-axe! Made with soft enamel using anodized rainbow plating on a zinc alloy base metal. The rainbow effect is randomized, making each pin unique.
First up, thank you all so much for pledging and sharing, and chatting in the community tab! It all helped us fund much quicker than I feared we might. This is our very first book and honestly I was ready for a 27 day struggle like our first crowdfund with the magazine...but instead it ended up being much, much closer to how quickly we funded the magazine this year!
This is very exciting, as it gives us plenty of time to push through stretch goals like SEXTUPLE ART and INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING DISCOUNT!
There's also some secret stuff that will be unlocked along the way...
Something else cool you all did? You got us on the main page of Backerkit! The way campaigns get featured on Backerkit's main page is through strong activity on the Community Tab, like our latest question "What does your ideal Sword & Sorcery romance look like?" Please feel free to ask questions, make suggestions, or just say hello over on the Community tab, knowing that simply by chatting with your fellow backers you're also helping get us in front of fresh eyeballs!
Why, there's even a UNIQUE REWARD for whomever is the most active member of our campaign's community!
Scroll down far enough on our campaign page and you'll see: Not too shabby!
Alright folks, that feels like plenty for now. Thanks so much again for backing us! There's plenty more livestreams, achievements, unlockable rewards, and good times to come.
