Hello friends,

A week ago today, we reached the end of our funding.
With $9735 raised and 279 backers, we are seeing 185 copies of the new anthology claimed!
81 folks will be reading digitally instead this time around.
46 copies of The Alleyman Myth are going out into the world.
18 Podcast CD Sets are finding new homes.
20 copies of various poetry books are joining the orders as well!
30 of the new two tarot cards are being claimed, with 40 of the previous oracle cards joining them.
...and a smattering of art prints and enamel pins are going to make dozens of packages sparkle with extra treasure.

In another week, I'll be sending out surveys after people's charges are finalized. It takes about 2 weeks for things to get through financially for everyone. And no worries about the holidays, we will have a few months in next year to wrap up surveys and finalize orders before we print and head to shipping. So no worries, there's time.

According to our polls so far, we will see a story written for the anthology that includes a Wickerfolk, and perhaps a dragon might make an appearance. This construct-entity will be explored in a meditative introduction to let us learn about the world more, and there may be a visit from the Alleyman at some point. We are clear that the entity will be made of a chunk of old statue, wrapped in plantlife, sticks, and leaves. And our focus will be on them gathering community to themselves, experiencing the fantastic, and finding an important piece of themselves in this experience.

So now I ask you, what does our character get up to in a given day? I will consider the most voted for answers, plural, so choose what you most want to see and let the chips fall where they may.

Thanks all, see you in a week when I load us to the surveys.
