Where did you learn about Positive Feedback and Leatherbound?
Did you read them at Filthy Figments? Want to read them but weren't subscribed? Are you a Patron of mine? I'd love to hear from you.

Project Update: We did it! 🎉

Thank you all! We're funded plus a stretch goal! 💖

Most of the prepress work on these two shorts is done (Leatherbound has actually already been turned over to the Riso studio--exciting!--and I'll be finalizing Positive Feedback and getting it to the printer in the next few weeks.) I haven't gotten a quote back on the stretch goal print project but I'll let you know the expected addon cost as soon as I do. Additionally, I'll share the development of the print with you as I dig into making it. (The poll frontrunner was something all-new, with edgier vs softer vibes, and I'm mulling it over.)

This was a great opportunity to try out Backerkit for a crowdfunding campaign with something a little smaller than previous books I've done, and I couldn't have done it without you! Thank you again! I'll keep you in the loop going forward!

Hi, I'm totally new to your work, found you through a BackerKit email about this campaign. I've made a pledge for both prints, but would like the pdfs as well. Is there a way to get them as well, maybe as an add on?

Project Update: Stretch Goal #1 UNLOCKED!

We hit the first stretch goal, everyone, thank you so much! 💖

This means I'm going to be making a totally new-for-this-Backerkit riso print, 2-4 colors, likely 8.5x11 so mailing it remains affordable. It'll be offered to backers as an addon at or near cost (I'm awaiting a quote from my riso guys but I'll let you know what this cost will be when I know).

In the meantime! Please take a second to weigh in on this very vague poll as to the direction! (If the campaign were to hit the second stretch goal, I'm going to make the second print harmonize with the first, just spicier, so futureproof your vote thinking in diptych terms!) 

Thank you all so much again and I hope you're having an excellent weekend!

Best,
Ben

Project Update: FUNDED 💦

You did it, backers! Thanks to you we hit the funding goal! For you: Leatherbound and/or Positive Feedback in your print collections; for me, these slutty shorts begin their print life [mostly] in the black and I can actually make a buck selling them at conventions (and I am sorely in need of more bucks 😅).  

There's a week left though, so let's look ahead to trying to hit some of the stretch goals: 

  • At $1000, a brand new Riso print, available to backers as an add-on (In the Erotic-But-You-Could-Still-Hang-it-in-Your-Apartment zone; price point YTBD but I'll make sure it's at a steep discount to you)
  • For $1250 a second, brand new, explicit Riso print that you probably won't want in your living room. Bedroom maybe.
  • And at $2000: an all-new 12+ Page Erotica Short.  I've been rotating a new smut mini in my mind recently; at this support level it'll get made and offered as an addon to existing pledges at a discount off its would-be cover price. Price TBD as I'm not yet positive whether this is a black and white, full color, or Riso proposition. 

Hugely grateful for all your help printing these, but now let's see if we can get any of the achievement objects made as well! 

🫶 Ben
