I had the exact same thing happen to me – a $300 emergency bill and a $500 loan for the rest. I think I can stay in, though. I’m sure gonna try.

Yeah, like Charles says, you can’t blame people for circumstance changes. I just ended up with a $320 vet visit today that was unexpected. People have their reasons and if something comes up that has higher priority than a graphic novel, they have every right to pull out. I imagine that just part of the cost of doing business.

Thank you all!

1) It was SUPPOSED to be WingS. I’ve fixed it.
Thanks.

2) The Kickstarter thing. It’s all good. While I would have loved to see the Frank Cho poster get out to everyone for FREE… I’m STILL thrilled that we’ve almost DOUBLED our goal of $8,500.

When I look at the projects that make hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars on Kickstarter… it’s quite easy to lose perspective on why I’m really there.

I just want a way to be able to allow you all to pre-order the book without the expense of pre-printing the run.

Mission accomplished… times THREE!

This is three years now that we’ve successfully done this.

The extra stuff is great. But… in the end… unnecessary.

I’m happy that 200+ of my readers are willing to pre-order through Kickstarter to help get each book out.

This is what’s important. And this is what I’m thankful for.

We’ll find another way to get the Nicodemus plush. The postcards. The Frank Cho poster. And more to you.

It’ll happen. But let’s not minimize the fact that we’ve had our third successful Kickstarter. That’s something pretty darn cool.

actually I’ve had to back out of bids I made this summer after I lost my job. Scott’s attitude toward those who backed out is nothing less than what I would have expected, 100% class act.

(ps I’m not a bid backer outer, I chose not to back rather than risk backing out again, but I’ll be buying the book when it comes out.)

Well dang, sorry to hear that people have backed out of Kickstarter. I’m glad you still have more than enough to get the books out.

As a fairly frequent Kickstarter supporter, I’ve seen this before. A certain percentage will have second thoughts and withdraw before the time is up. While it can be discouraging, it usually doesn’t make a difference in the long run.

Personally, I’ve had to withdraw two times in the last year, due to overcommitments or unexpected expenses. So some withdrawals are for serious reasons. But bottom line, there will always be an ebb and flow to the Kickstarter projects and one should be prepared for it. The good news is there is usually a surge during the last 2 days, as people that starred it get reminded of it and do their pledges.

I assume that wing is the name given to the device.

The ability to fly in Dreamland has its limits (vertical limits: for humans, nightmare realm flying beasties, and fairies) unless you have specially designed wings made specifically for travel in and around Seraphopolis. Remember, it’s not quite part of Dreamland, meaning that many of the rules/laws that apply in Dreamland are not applicable in said “Realm.”

If I’m wrong, someone please correct me.
