That's it. Our pledge drive has officially ended. We raised $1,200 to help cover the printing and shipping costs of this mini-comic. Thank you **so much** to all the backers. You should be getting more information from me and Kickstarter very soon.
In celebration, here is the cover, as designed by the amazing April Wenzel --
Today, I'm visiting some print shops to get estimates and find the best deal possible. I'm also adding more indie-friendly retailers to my spreadsheet -- and mailing a promotional flier. Busy, busy, busy.
This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 5, 2009.
CHARMING LEVEL. Your giving makes me smile. Your name (with a link to your website) will be listed in a "thank you" post on my blog.
APPEALING LEVEL. Your giving lingers in my mind. A copy of ONE NIGHT STAND will be mailed to your house. (Plus, CHARMING level reward)
ALLURING LEVEL. Your giving makes me want to try new things. As a last minute reward level, for anyone who donates $10 or more, I will send them a hand-made thank you card -- with a crappy little sketch from me. I'm not a great artist, but I will certainly attempt to make it look nice. Crayons? Markers? Glitter? I'll try anything to make your card... special.
SEXY LEVEL. Your giving is sexy. Your name will be listed on the "thank you" page in the mini-comic. Ten copies of ONE NIGHT STAND will be shipped to the retailer of your choosing. (Plus, CHARMING and APPEALING level rewards)
VERY SEXY LEVEL. Your giving is more sexy than average. I will send you a care package that includes a copy of my graphic novel ASTRONAUT DAD, VOL. 1. (Plus, CHARMING, APPEALING, and SEXY level rewards)
TOO SEXY FOR THIS LEVEL. Your giving makes me blush. You will receive a piece of art from one of the artists involved in this project. (Plus, CHARMING, APPEALING, SEXY, and VERY SEXY level rewards)
NSFW LEVEL. Your giving makes me want to take you out to dinner. Oh yes, I'm taking you out to dinner. (Plus, CHARMING, APPEALING, SEXY, and VERY SEXY level rewards) This gift is for people living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
