Someone suggested calendars of my photography as a KS reward, which made me go look at costing them out (short form: definitely a doable reward, and I’d probably make up a special April-April one or something just to go with the campaign). Kitsnaps postcards and/or prints were also suggested, which–I would never have thought of using my photography as reward pieces, so *thank you* to those who suggested it. But anyway, in looking, I discovered Lulu does calendars and has a format that isn’t hideous. Base cost to me, for…
Kickstarter thoughts, part 2
Okay, so incentive levels for a KS campaign: A number of KS campaigns have lately been running “unlocked rewards”, where if you donate a certain dollar amount it turns out you get something extra spiffy as a surprise. At least, I think that’s how it’s working. What kinds of things do you guys think would qualify as extra spiffy? There are also frequently limited rewards at higher donation amounts.

Apropos of pretty much nothing, I gotta say that having joined G+ and all, my reaction is not “wean other social networks off & just use G+” so much as it is “I’m pretty sick of social networks & am not wildly inclined to use any of them anymore.” I’m finding that to be a rock and a hard place, though, professionally speaking. Between G+, Twitter & FB I’ve got somewhere in the region of 2500 followers (a fair percentage of whom, I’m sure, are repeat offenders, but many of…
NYCC
Ok, that’s one non-refundable plane ticket to New York purchased, so I guess I’ll be seeing y’all at Comic Con. I’m coming in Wednesday and leaving lateish Sunday night. Thus far Agrimony has dibs on one meal slot, and I figure my editor & agent (if she’s in town) get another. That leaves…how many? Several! Up for grabs! :)
