Hey everyone!
The Kickstarter for "Pay Attention" is 1/3 of the way through its run and is overfunded. A couple days ago I added a stretch goal, for which I would write a second work: a 10,000 word (minimum) rational horror novelette. Well, that's $15 short of funding, so I'm adding ANOTHER stretch goal: if we get another $500 after this, I'll write a third work: a 10,000 word (minimum) fantasy story set in the Union of Anundjå at the very beginning of the Drauga War. Here's the blurb:
Set on the second day of the drauga invasion, High Marshal Albrecht Löfgren is on a show-the-flag-and-boost-morale inspection of the Tenth Legion, a war-weary band recently rotated off the front lines after too long standing between civilization and the barbarian northmen. The dining-in is interrupted by horrific news: a massive undead army is sweeping up the valley below, led by a powerful vampire battlemage and his coterie of Archmage followers. With less than an hour to prepare, can Albrecht successfully save the lives of the exhausted Legionnaires?
If everyone who has given $12 or less could find a friend to match their pledge, we'd pretty much make that second stretch goal.
As a final note: according to the Kickstarter stats, the vast majority of my pledges have come from this subreddit. Thank you all so very much. I really can't convey how humblingly wonderful this has been.

I feel like this Kickstarter could maybe benefit from being posted to /r/hpmor, OP, considering that it draws a much larger population with similar likes. In the meanwhile, I'll try to haggle some people into donating. Seriously looking forward to these stories.
ETA: How has nobody funded any of the "extra 2000 words" options yet? Grr

Huh, good thought. I'll do that, thank you.

It's a big investment for one person. I should start a kickstarter.

/r/horror, /r/horrorlit, /r/books, /r/kickstarter are also good subs to share your success with.

Good thought. Thank you!

From a test, /r/horror isn't fond of monetized books.

How odd. Where do they think most books come from?
Thanks for the warning; I won't post there.
