Sort of, at least. The way Kickstarter counts days, it’s sometimes hard to tell. Tomorrow it’s officially seven days, so… close enough? Anyway, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2 is very close to the ‘more sampler stories’ stretch goal! Tell your friends! Heck, tell your enemies if they’re good sports. And there’s still that elusive $6,000 stretch goal…

No exclamation point: I’m still too annoyed with Barnes & Noble to feel safe about shouting. My youngest wanted to know why I was snarling obscenities at my computer. Since the answer was, Because I forgot you were there*, perhaps I should be a little less vehement for a while.

Anyway, the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 2 Kickstarter is still going on, with a dozen days to go. We’re close to getting some more sampler stories, and after that; some sampler art. And man, but the urge to push out the exclamation points is stronger than I expected. It’s like a drug, man. A loud, shouty drug.

*The kids have school off today for some reason. I’m not really sure why. That just happens, from time to time.

Very exciting… but wait, there’s more! Here’s the current state of the stretch goals:

This is a two-birds, one-stone situation: I’ve gotten Shaenon Garrity (book cover artist for FROZEN DREAMS and TINSEL RAIN, and all-round swell artist) to do some Fermi Resolution-themed art. I’ve been provided with a piece that can be handily broken up into a bookmark, bookplate, and refrigerator magnet.

So I’ve updated the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol 2 Kickstarter! There’s a new $1,600 stretch goal: at that point, everyone who backs at the $5 level or above will get a digital copy of the art, already formatted for a 3×1 bookmark, 2×2 sticker or magnet, and 3×2 bookplate.

Will there be physical versions of these in the future? Yes! Will they be part of the Kickstarter? …I dunno. Depends on how much money I make from it. So back it today!

There may be an stretch goal between the $1200 one and the $2000 one on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Volume 2 Kickstarter after all.

It’s in a good spot to be backed: TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 2 has been funded, and we are a mere seventy five bucks from the first stretch goal. We’re also a mere four grand away from me being able to get BANSHEE BEACH out the door as soon as it’s ready to go, so there’s short- and long-term goals to work towards. This is a marvelous thing! Back the Kickstarter today!

Mind you, I wasn’t worried in the slightest. I ran the numbers, and I was confident that I had a clear-eyed view of the situation and was pretty sure that I could reach the Kickstarter goals. I totally wasn’t spending the day in a habitual state of imposter’s syndrome. The very idea that I would is absurd!

ABSURD!

…Seriously: thanks to everybody who has pledged to TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Volume 2, and everybody who will. I can do the stuff that I do because of the stuff that you do. I try not to forget that.

I hope you’ll all back it, and that the rest of Western civilization does, too. …Well. Everybody who speaks English. I guess I can have TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 2 get translated into other languages if, I dunno, I break one hundred thousand dollars or something*.

Also: TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Vol. 1 is on sale for 99 cents on Kindle this week! Just to get people in the mood. Check that out, too.

*Geez, I don’t even know what I’d do if I had that kind of funding. Well, besides go to Dragon Con. In style.
