I successfully downloaded the pdf - and then dropped what I had been doing to read through the story once again. Thank you so much for making an ebook part of your project!
Congratulations! You made a last minute (well last hour) fan out of me. I found this, started reading your archives and had to race back to grab a book. :)
Woot!
I'm stoked to get my copy!
I was hoping it would break 14k, still so glad I am a part of getting this all set and money to tuck away for the next book!
Oh, man. $653 shy of DOUBLE the original goal! If I hadn't had to replace my !@#% muffler on my car this month, I'd just push it all of the way...
Oh wow. Over $13K and 9 hours remaining. Congratulations ladies!
I am almost caught up on reading Namesake and I upped my pledge to get the physical book because it is that good!
Nice job ladies!
Over $10K! I am so ecstatic for you ladies!
Up'd my pledge just so I could see it hit 10 grand!
It's OVER 9000! That's awesome!
And still 19 days to go!
Yup, already planned! It's in the FAQ for the Kickstarter.
Hi,
This is a bit early (like, months early!) but I'd like to make a suggestion for when you set up the Backers' Survey? If you've not thought of it already, could you include an item for how people would like their names to appear on the "thank you" page?
I'm very excited to be a backer for this project. I've been a fan of your comic for months and I'm looking forward to have a print copy to read when away from the computer!
Congratulations on 200 backers, exceeding your goal, and still having nearly a month left!
So excited :)
Congrats on EXCEEDING your goal!
Congratulations on reaching your goal! :D We still have plenty of time for more. ;)
$7,000 exactly!!! Let's hope there will be much more.
You did it! Congrats!
Now, go for 10... :D
I don't know guys, it looks like this project might not make it...
Congratulations!
Oh my gosh! You guys are so close!! Only $362 left! :-)
Woot, almost there! :-D
It's still awesome! :-)
Once a Kickstarter campaign begins, you can't edit the dollar amount. You also can't edit the rewards once someone has bid on them. I had provided a preview link to about five people with the lower amount, but Adrienne reminded me to take fees, etc. into account beyond the printing cost. I think I had $6,500 originally for the preview.
Actually, E. Houde did see a lower amount. She was one of the ones who saw the preview link before we settled on the final amount.
However almost 50% in the 1st day is pretty rockin'! I am so happy for you guys.
It was 7k from the get go. The printing costs and ISBN numbers will be a bit over 6k, thene there's shipping costs.
No, I believe it was $7,000 from the beginning.
Did you up your goal? I swear it was $2k yesterday.
Congratulations on meeting your goal on the first day!
Good luck guys! I"ll blog about this in my own project sites too in the coming week, hoping to what little I can to amplify the message.
Good luck with this - and kudos for remembering about international shipping from the get-go!
Cheering for you, as always, ladies! I really want to see this happen!
For those unfamiliar, Isa and Meg have created a completely enrapturing story that drags you in and doesn't let go. Try it on the website, then support the printing and spread the word. They deserve this to take off into something huge.
:D Good luck guys! Though Im positive you're make your goal :D lol just wish I had enough to pledge $175!
