We've come to the end of the project. What a wild last few minutes it was: we triggered that 'overtime mode' thing 3 times, extending the campaign by an extra 21 or so minutes. It was weirdly fun but also stressful watching that timer count down.
I can't believe it's been 24 days already. The time just flew by. Meanwhile, I've been hard at work behind the scenes doing art for the extended cards and the Setting Guide, which is being written and laid out also.
In addition, I've been brainstorming and world-building for my next fantasy novel, but more on that will have to wait until it's in a finished state and the Powers That Be have had a chance to discuss it amongst themselves.
What happens now?
Well, later today or possibly tomorrow, I'll post another update with stats and figures for those who like those sorts of things; a sort of 'campaign retrospective,' if you will.
Starting probably Monday, the backer surveys will start going out, where you can select your selectables, put in your address, and the like.
Once I get the manuscript back from the copy editor (see Stretch Goal 2), I will begin the layout process. Once that is done, it's off to the printer and the ebooks can start getting finished. And then the audiobook needs to be narrated... bookmarks and buttons and stickers ordered... loot boxes compiled... and then signing. SO. MUCH. SIGNING.
I'm looking forward to all of it!
But for now, I'm going to collapse into a little ball of nerves and try to decompress a little.
Thank you ALL for making this, my first crowdfunding, a huge success. You're all wonderful, and I couldn't be happier to have you as part of the Full Negative family.
