Update #8: Hooray!
I'm still in shock. I was expecting to be stressing well into the evening on this - but I'm happy to report that "The Elders" has met the minimum funding requirement I set out for the project (Kickstarter may have already notified you of this).
The project will remain open for pledges until 11:30pm EST at which time it will officially close. I have decided, for those who had expressed an interest, to keep the "personal profile" pledge option open until the end of August. If you want to discuss that further at any point between now and then, just contact me directly.
Again, I can't thank you all enough - What a wonderful conclusion to this project's first phase.
I'll be building a website soon, and will notify you once it's complete so that you can keep tabs on the project as it's produced over the next 6 months.
My sincerest thanks,
Nathaniel
