Join us if you agree.
Budget: $10,000 - CAN HAZ MONEYZ?
I will be covering $4,000 myself (the cost of translating) but need another $6,000 to finish editing, publishing and of course Kickstarters cut.
Timeline:
Our highly optimistic goal is the Holidays, but January or February are likely fallback position.
How Else You Can Help:
I need moneyz and kittehz. The moneyz is obvious: this is Kickstarter just kickstart it.
For teh kittehz send me pictures of YOUR kittehz actin shakepurrian. It is important that these are YOUR pictures that YOU took and not just found online. Email them to Edward[dot]Nyckelson[at]gmail[dot]com with the subject "kittehz" and the following legal sounding message in the body, and your darling kitteh may appear on the cover or interspersed through the plays of William Shakespurr:
"I affirm under penalty of law that I am the legal owner of the attached images and I hereby give the right to use said images away to Nicholas Johnson (aka Edward Nickelson) to modify, use, or redistribute as he sees fit including but not limited to commercial uses without recompense."
FAQ
-
Uh, Sure. Toss in an extra $25 on top of the normal and I will use it to pay an actor or actress. I warn you I don't personally know any celebrities but I have a few nice looking friends who I think you might like to see reading lulz.
-
No worries, I can help suggest one or just send you one of the all time favorites. Also for the $10, lolcat of your choosing, award if you have any other sort of pet besides a cat that you would like to see lol'ed Shakespeare style I am game if you are.
