FUNDED!

Update #1 · Jan 8, 2011 · comment

Happy New Year, intrepid Patrons of Literature, brave Champions of Literacy!

In the last few days of the old year and the first few days of the new we have gleaned a special and discrete happiness from the fact that people of your sort came through and, as a result, our Web-app project was successfully funded.

Now, it's time for presents or, to be more precise, rewards. All of you will be receiving sonnets, some of you will be getting t-shirts, and a lucky few will appear as characters in one of our stories. Brace yourselves!

Please write to me at Gennady@goodtoknowapps.com with your e-mail and, if appropriate, mailing address asap in order to receive said goods.

We can't wait to reward your for your good will and good deeds. In the meantime, here's an audio recording of one of the chapters of The Great Race, a fairy tale I wrote for Storied Collection 1.

Happy listening,

Gennady

    A solemn promise to contribute $10 will engender the receipt of two full collections of Storied stories.

    Those with $100 to burn at the altar of Reading and Writing will receive all of the above, an extra Storied T-shirt & the chance to appear as a positive character in one of the stories written specifically and entirely by one of us.

    With a quarter of a thousand dollars you could back a quarter horse at Cheltenham Downs for a handsome loss, whoosh through a quarter-mile on a banked track in a hired-by-the-second, hyper-expensive British supercar for the ultra-rich, or support the succinctness and soaring elegance that is the essence of written English at its best. In short, for $250 you will receive all of the above-detailed offerings, an unlimited lifetime subscription to Storied and 2 (that's two!) extra Storied T-shirts (for a total of 3).

Those cool-handed enough to contribute $500 to the cause of undying love (for Literature and Letters) will be justly rewarded with all of the above and the chance to appear as a negative character in one of our stories (a lovely prize indeed).

    Those truly eager to help society's outcasts (teenagers; anyone) enjoy life a little (by escaping into a parallel world) -- while still moored to the ways of this world (studying for a standardized test) -- by sharing with us one G-Force ($1000) will receive the benefits of all of the above, get to choose the theme for the next Storied collection, and will be able to ask and get pretty much anything they desire, provided it's in the spirit of Storied.
