Hey everyone!
|
|
|
|
[The Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/213223018/pay-attention) 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.
