12 hours to go, we're on the cusp of the $2,000 stretch goal, and now is the time to tell all your friends that it's time to try out some crowdfunded post-apocalyptic fantasy goodness. These are the current stretch goals up for grabs:
$2,000: More sampler stories! At this point, the sampler will be five Fermi Resolution stories, including two ones exclusive to this sampler. It will be very close to a short episodic novel at that point, as all five stories will be set in the Falling Walls of Lunacy Marsh/Asenath Fermi Resolution horror sub-series. The Moon is not a nice place in a magical apocalypse. With these stories, you'll get to see just how much.
$2,400: More Fermi Resolution-themed art! I've gotten in touch with the talented Ben Fleuter (the artist for the TTRPG), and he's got time in his schedule to get the other PC species drawn in the same style as below. Did you want Mermen, Ghulmen, and Oldmen character sketches? Because if we hit this stretch goals, you're getting some!
If you have backed, you've backed. Thank you. If you haven't? ...Well, now's the time.
Second stretch goal down! And only halfway through!

But wait, there's more! Here's the current state of the stretch goals:
[REACHED!] $1,200: Story sampler! There are a few more stories at hand or nearly done for the Fermi Resolution, including at least one exclusive to this Kickstarter! Once we hit this stretch goal, I'll put three of them in .epub and .pdf form, and send them to everybody who backed at the $10 level or above. Fulfillment of this will be completely independent of the regular schedule.
[REACHED!] $1,600: Extra art! I reached out to the talented Shaenon Garrity (who did my covers for FROZEN DREAMS and TINSEL RAIN) to do some merch-friendly art. At this stretch goal, everyone at the $5 level or above will receive digital copies of her piece, suitable for bookmarks, refrigerator magnets, and bookplates. A bit from the larger work is below:
Lucas needs to get a book from the library! What could go wrong?

$6,000: Banshee Beach! If we hit this goal, I will have enough cash on hand to move BANSHEE BEACH (the next Tom Vargas novel) on the production schedule from "next year" to "as soon as everything gets finished." The book isn't draft-worthy at the moment, needs cover art and layout, and is generally not ready to go - but cash-on-hand covers a multitude of sins. If you fund it, it will come.
Stretch goals!

We're fully funded and to spare, so it's time to talk about stretch goals.

[TBD]: I have other ideas, but I want to see how long it takes to get to the above stretch goal. However, the next one is definite.

As always, thank you for your generous support. It makes all of this possible. Feel free to use this link to encourage others to give me their generous support, too!

Just under 12 hours, too! Thank you all for your support and trust. I'll be announcing stretch goals in the next day or two, once I have an idea about the trajectory of the campaign. I do have an ambitious goal in mind, and a couple of pipe dreams, but that can wait until tomorrow. Tonight, just have my thanks.
