We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 30, 2012.

100% Funded

Update #9 · Apr 26, 2012 · 17 comments

Thanks to your generosity, I am now 100% funded! Now comes the FUN part! Any funds I receive in the next 3 days will be used for the following awesomeness:

- Getting me out to cons this year so I can promote, sell, and sign my books!

- Getting Anathema distributed through Diamond. I could potentially reach Anathema fans all around the world, and they won't have to pay insane shipping costs!

- Lessening the burden on my pocketbook when it comes time to print and ship each issue of Anathema.

- And FINALLY, I'd love to give back to the kickstarter community. I would love to be able to take a certain percentage of my overage and kick it back into other creative projects.

So please continue to spread the word to every man, woman, and child in the world who would enjoy a great classic terror tale like Anathema. Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my horrible little heart.

Rachel

      I was worried for a second but nice to see it all come together with a couple days to spare.

      I'm gonna keep pushing for the funding necessary to get me into Previews and local comic shops. I won't stop until I've reached the top!

      I work in a comic shop in KS, so you can imagine my budget was limited. Glad I could chip in & mywife & I look forward to reading the product. Here's hoping I'll see you in Previews.

      The campaign has definitely had its share of ups and downs, but here we are! I'm so very thankful for all the wonderful people who have supported me and my passion.

      A few days ago I really didn't think this would be a success (I didn't want to say anything and jinx it), glad to eat my words on it though. Looking forward to reading all of it. And looking forward to that pinup, now I have to make an advertisement.

      I hope to get the book into some shops, too. It's gonna take a chunk of change to get me there, though. Here's hoping.

      Awesome news! Glad to hear this and I hope I can see this in my LCS through Diamond. :)

      I hope that it DOES go world wide. I've recommended this book to everyone and their grandmother (okay actually one grandmother but still) and hopefully it spreads. Can't wait to read the comics and hopefully in the next four days it gets even more money!

      I look forward to making them!

      Glad to be a help to make a goal and dream come through. I upped my contribution earlier. Couldn't let someone come so close to fail.

      Great job! May this only be the start of a long success.

      I hope you make tons of profits and then some! ^^

    15. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 26, 2012

      It would take a heck of a lot of overage to cover conventions and Diamond, and STILL have enough left to give away to other people.

    16. Rach-dull.small

      Creator Rachel Deering on April 26, 2012

      Yes, only extra funds made from the sales of Anathema. I need the rest to actually get the books made, haha!

      Woohoo!! Congratulations! *happy dance* :D
      When you say you'd like to take a certain percentage of your "overage" to kick it back into other projects, I hope you mean profits you'd make selling Anathema (of which I hope you'll make plenty), not actual Kickstarter funds. Every dollar pledged to Anathema is pledged to Anathema only. ^^
