In addition to getting an electronic copy and a paper copy of the finished back, we will make an electronic copy of Seanan McGuire's novella for the anthology available when we hit our funding goal. This means that if we hit our funding with two weeks to go, you'll get to see the story then. In Seanan's own words: " "Bad Dream Girl," a 16,000 word novella set in the universe of my New York Times bestselling InCryptid series. This novella focuses on Antimony Price, and will be her first formal appearance as a narrator, allowing for a story that has connections to existing material, yet remains accessible to new readers." How cool is that?!

Thank you for changing the title!

Due to the twitter discussion yesterday and the anthology title change, I'm upgrading my pledge to a print copy as well. Hope you get an update out in time to publicize the change!

I'm wracking my brain about things I could possibly submit, and failing utterly. So not my usual area. However, I shall look forward to reading this.
Creator Jennifer L Smith on January 29
I appreciate your reply, thank you for taking the time to respond. I should have been back to read it sooner, work has been attempting to kill me through exhaustion.
Your reply helps, as does the fact that the word "crazy" is gone from the front page. Many thanks.
Creator John Klima on January 27
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for supporting our Kickstarter.
Let me give you some of my personal background first before addressing this issue. I'm the primary caregiver of my daughter, Caitlin. Caitlin has Aicardi syndrome, a rare congenital disorder. You might have seen her as the poster girl for Jim C. Hines's recent fundraiser.
Because of Caitlin, I have been an advocate for people with disabilities for the last decade. I have chaired local organizations for children with disabilities, I was a conrunner for the Aicardi syndrome family conference, and I am the current chair of City of DeKalb Advisory Commission on Disabilities.
I am also a person who has clinical depression and a generalized anxiety disorder. Both have been major issues for me during my lifetime, leading to me dropping out of college and unable to work for two years.
I agree that there are many hurtful words out there to people with disabilities, such as retard or lame. These words are often used as awful pejoratives. My wife Lynne and I often speak to people about the casual use of these terms and point them to online resources about ableist language.
Madness is rarely used a pejorative in this day and age. Though it historically has indicated insanity, it also is defined as extreme folly, ecstasy, or enthusiasm. Those definitions are what we thought of when one of our contributors suggested the Glitter and Madness title. The word madness was long ago reclaimed and repurposed, reflecting the definition we're using.
I hope that explains our point of view on the subject. If you would like to discuss it further, please feel free to contact me at michaeldamianthomas [at] gmail [dot] com.
Cordially,
Michael Damian Thomas

I'm backing, because I will buy anything Amal OR Seanan is in, and there are more authors already lined up that I'm enthusiastic about. And the theme as described I'm really into.
However, just to put my two cents on record, I'm doing electronic only, even though I dislike ebooks, because I will not carry or display a book with this title. Given how crippling mental illness can be, and the absolutely horrific abuses and prejudices piled, historically, on those with the label of 'mad', I just think it's in very poor taste, and I sincerely wish that it hadn't been used. :/
