Day 6

Update #7 · Jan 6, 2012 · 4 comments

Six days in and we're so close to the goal! I can't believe it!

Thanks go out to Jimi, Tom, Hudson, Janel, Skraldesovs, Michael, Liz, Harald, Delores and Sian for their generous pledges!

I'm going to be posting more details about this soon, but I have decided to implement the "unlockable reward" that I described in the last update. So here's hoping that the campaign reaches at least $6000 by February 14th so that I can offer everyone who pledged $25 or more a copy of the final book as a reward!

(Just FYI . . . there are currently 20 people who have pledged less than $25. So remember, if all of you up your pledges to the $25 or $50 level and the campaign raises $6000, all 20 of you will receive a printed copy of the final book. Just sayin' . . .)

Thanks for reading!

-Otis

      I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'd be thrilled if more than $6000 was raised...it would mean more books for everyone. But I'm a "one step at a time" kinda guy. :)

      With how quickly you hit your goal, don't you think setting the next benchmark at 6,000 is a little low? Why not shoot for 9,000 with the promise of sending everyone a PDF of the original series?

      It's true, I could always just let the campaign continue as is, allowing for more money to come in to fund the original goal of giving me time to work on the book. But I feel that having reached my goal so early, it is incumbent upon me to attempt to try for a small print run to reward folks who showed faith in the project. I really hope I can get books into the hands of my generous backers!

      This deal doesn't help with Otis' "not insane" claim
