Victoria Steam Expo, and An Adventure of Choices Made By You!.

Update #16 · Apr 21, 2012 · 2 comments

Hello, lovely Kickstarters!

We're setting up for Victoria Steam Expo today, and the buzz on Wollstonecraft is palpable.  So many inspiring ideas of where to take the stories.

First, ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: With your help, we now have the budget to write the Teacher's Guide and give that away to all who'd find it useful.  This couldn't have happened without you.  Thank you!

A larger budget means I can commit to writing more stuff, specifically An Adventure of Choices Made By You (because that, um. other term is ©), but when we hit $90,000 I'll write such an adventure, in the second person, where the reader makes choices to solve a case set in the World of Wollstonecraft – and I'll give it away for free on the website.

What an incredible ride the last 3 weeks have been.  Your energy and enthusiasm and support and ideas are invaluable.  I cannot thank you enough for what you've created together.

– Jordan

      This is an exciting project. I am very happy you are doing so well. I hope you can top 75,000, maybe even 80. Let me talk to some of my author friends and see if we can spread the word a bit to give you one last push. I am tapped out from backing many many projects already this year but I still have some PR pull. :-)

    YOU GET ALL TEH STUFFS! Also, I'll write an additional short story (2500 - 5000 words) set in the world of Wollstonecraft and presenting a character you can name (it can be you or a friend) – I maintain discretion so the name fits into the ambience of the story. The short story will be made available to the whole world for free so everyone can read about your character's adventures. Oh yes, fame and immortality, I gives it to you.
