We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 22, 2012.

$14000!

Update #18 · Jun 22, 2012 · 4 comments

At about 2:30am, the Kickstarter crossed the $14,000 line!

WE DID IT! CG Magazine will pay pro rates in 2013!!! WOO! *Freaking Out*

Thank you all SO MUCH for all the support - backers, cheerleaders, contributors: so many people helped make this happen!

We'll use posts to keep everyone informed as to how things are going during the process of setting up the zine again, as well as our other publications.

There's a bit less than 10 hours left to the Kickstarter. Until then anyone who pledges $25 or more gets a year of a pro-rate zine FREE! Still a great deal! Additional funds beyond the $10,000 will be used for security, i.e. to cover any unexpected expenses that inevitably crop up. (Or should we do another stretch goal? *DIES*)

Thank you again, we can't say it enough! We're going to go pass out now!
