We're here: the last days of a dying earth our crowdfunding campaign. We're currently sitting at 92% with 5 days left on the docket, and things are looking good! But we don't want to rest on our laurels. We want to get you, the reader, the best magazine possible. That means hitting some of our stretch goals. The first of which is, as you might remember, more art!
To that end: we still have a few of our "limited" offers left, ONE Moonlit Blade tier and SIX Short Story Editing tiers.
Moonlit Blade tier
The Moonlit Blade tier gets your name in the magazine (or the name of your choosing: we aren't saying you should buy it just to have some dire fore of yore executed in humorous fashion by one of your favorite authors...but we're not not saying that, either), as well as physical and digital copies of Issues 9 and 10.
Short story editing tier
The Short Story editing tier gets you the physical/digital copies as well as a comprehensive and professional edit for one of your own short stories. If you aren't a writer yourself, but you know/love one (we should all love at least one writer), purchasing them a professional story edit can make for a lovely gift. The magazines you get with it are lovely on their own as well!
If all of these pledges were to be purchased, we'd blow past our funding goal and be well on our way to hitting that first stretch goal, the coveted more art.
Speaking of MORE ART, we do have a bit of a teaser, from the mind (and pen) of Mark Jarrell: the pre-inked sketches for more of his illuminations, which will so lovingly decorate the pages of these next issues! We don't want to give away too much, but we couldn't resist giving a glimpse of what-shall-be:
flails and lanterns (and...bears?)
If you're like us, then you can never resist a good flail. Nor a good lantern!
Well, that's all for now. To those of you who have backed us already, we say (with the very deepest and heartfelt gratitude): thank you. To those of you who are thinking of backing us, we say: please do! And if you're still on the fence, check out some of the stories we've posted for free on our website, here and here and here and elsewhere! And worry not: there shall be, perhaps, one final story intruding upon us later today...
