Nevermind my Kickstarter project (I mean, yes, mind it, it’s less than $350 from the trade paperback!!! but besides that): Liz Williams is once more doing a crowdfunding campaign SO FREAKING AWESOME that I desperately wish I’d thought of it. Check out Avalon Rising: The Hundred Story Project, which will deliver to its patrons one hundred short stories in 2012 as part of a larger community-building project that she and her partner are working to launch. My mind boggles. Problematically, IndieGoGo is not accepting Paypal right now (they’re working on…

two weeks to go
With two weeks to go, the “No Dominion” Kickstarter campaign is at an astounding $10.7K. $1300 more and it’ll reach the signed limited trade paperback edition level, which is absurdly cool.
