About this project
Since 2009, an ongoing fantasy novel has been released, two illustrated pages a week, at www.fromthedragonsmouth.com . If you've been reading it, you already know this. If not, click on the link. There's the first 82 pages. If it's not to your taste, fine, you can move along.
If you're still reading, I presume you like the story and are interested in seeing more. (The unpublished part has dragon romance, dwarves, and sibling rivalry.) I'm hosting this fundraiser to see if there's enough interest in this story to warrant its continuance in this form.
The illustration has always been the time-consuming element, for me. That's one factor. Advertising is another. I'd prefer not to have to deal with it, but I'd also like to get paid for my labors. So here's the deal.
If this fundraiser fails, I'll shut down the site. I might finish off the story and release it as a print-on-demand, or I might not.
If I raise $500-$999, the story continues in a bare-bones format. You get the rest of the story, updated twice weekly, but with ads, and without the art.
If I raise $1,000-$1,999, it gets all interesting and interactive. In that instance, all donors get to vote (proportional to their pledges) whether FTDM continues with art and ads, or without either.
$2,000+ means you get the same premium service to which you're accustomed. Art on every page and nary a banner ad to offend the eye.
It's up to you. Let's keep this going together.
