48 Hours - Stretch Goal #11 Unlocked
3 months ago – Sun, Aug 18, 2024 at 02:29:20 PM

Hi Friends!

Well we're into the final stretch of this campaign.  48 hours to go, and we unlocked the $2,000 stretch goal this morning!

So now I owe you guys three new ICN short stories to complete the 10-story collection from Stretch Goal #8 as well as the three Icaran Confederation shorts that brought us to $2k.  The next set of stretch goals start at $2,500.  With two days to go, I have a feeling we'll meet at least a few of the Qorathi Empire stretch goals, culminating with the 10-story collection at $3,500.

I would, of course, be extremely stoked to give them all to you.  So let all your pals know about the great stuff we're doing around here.

But no matter what, I am ecstatic about how well this campaign has turned out.  Thank you so much!

V/R,

Michael

Stretch Goals 9 & 10 - Unlocked!
3 months ago – Sun, Aug 11, 2024 at 04:19:51 PM

Hi Friends!

Well, I miscounted in my last update. We actually unlocked Stretch Goal #9 before I wrote it, not #8. But whatever, we've got #10 unlocked now!  Or close enough.  We're actually $1 below the official unlocking point, but that's close enough for government work so I'm calling it.

So now backers will get the ICN 10-Story Pack, Candlemass, and Scrubbing DOBSON in their choice of ebook format, along with the reward tiers they pledged to.  

Stretch Goal #11, Lifeboat Blues, unlocks in $151, and then we're on to the Qorathi Empire stories starting at the $2,500 level.

As I said before, I thought I had something good going with this one, but I didn't really believe the response would be as enthusiastic and generous as it has been.  I am amazed and extremely grateful to all of you.  You guys are great!

We're about to enter the final third of the campaign, and I'm very interested to see how the final sprint to the end goes.  I'm hesitant to make any predictions at all except that it's going to be fun, no matter what!

More to follow as we unlock more Stretch Goals.  In the meantime, thanks again for your support.  I really appreciate it.

Have a great week!

V/R,

Michael
