Post-Kickstarter Update and Cthulhurotica News

Thank you to all of you who contributed to our Kickstarter and ordered (or preordered) our books and art. We’re going to start rolling out the rewards that are ready (art, plus book orders of Cthulhurotica and IN SITU), but before that those who contributed will receive a “backer survey” in their email asking how they’d like your name to be spelled on our official THANK YOU page on our website. It will also ask how they’d like to get their rewards, and in some cases, which item they chose.

Please fill that out and return it as soon as possible.

If you’re wondering why this update took a few days to assemble …

The day after our Kickstarter ended, the ladies of Vaginal Fantasy (a book club hosted by Geek and Sundry) chose Cthulhurotica as their official book pick for September. This means that Felicia Day, Veronica Belmon t, Bonnie Burton and Kiala Kazebee will be reading our book this month, and discussing it with their viewers and fans on September 25 at 8pm Pacific time via a live chat.

The announcement was a surprise to us, and we’ve spent the last few days handling orders, answering emails, and being giddy.

If you’d like to know more, or get in on the Goodreads forum discussions, please see our blog post about it here:
http://cthulhurotica.com/2012/08/29/as-seen-on-geek-and-sundry/

We’ll be in touch soon!

Kickstarter: Successful!

As of this morning, our Kickstarter campaign was successfully completed. They’ll hold on to the funds for two weeks, and then it takes another week for us to get the money, but in the meantime we’ll be working on projects.

Before any of that happens, though:

THANK YOU. Without your support this would not have been possible. We appreciate you, so much.

Kickstarter Update: Final Stretch Goal and a (different) Special Reward

We did it! We raised enough to produce a series of four novellas in 2013. Thank you, so much, for all of your support.

We have, as of this moment, 69 hours left in our Kickstarter, and we want to use that time to fund more art. More interior art in our books, more money to our artists. If you haven’t ordered through our Kickstarter yet, and would like to support our art and artists, please do so now.

To celebrate the last days of our Kickstarter, our own Kelly Stiles (author and slush reader) has put together a beautiful hand-made journal….

Edited to add: That reward was claimed within 10 minutes. So here’s another one – how would you like to be written into a story by author and editor Carrie Cuinn? For an example of that, see her story “Mrs. Henderson’s Cemetery Dance” available to read free from Red Penny Papers.

For only $100 each, two lucky people will be forever immortalized in fiction. It could be you.

To get this unique reward, or to order any of our books and art, act fast. The clock is ticking down …
