Thank you! Arm warmers and other Incentives

Oct23

The recent Giraffe Call reached the get-takeout incentive level.

This month, instead of get-takeout, I decided to get-warm: armwarmers!

Thank you for your support!

We also reached:

* Alder by Post – if you donated and would like a copy mailed to you, send me your address (If I don’t have it already).

* Livewrite – one one-hour session: please let me know, if you’re interested in watching me write, when would be good for you.

* Setting piece – what would you like to see? What setting? Anything in specific?

In Addition

A lovely anonymous donor donated 3 500-word continuations to three random prompters. Random.org gave me:
cluudle
thesilentpoet
YsabetWordsmith

Please pick up your prizes at the courtesy desk!

Addergoole Year Nine: a 1/8-year Status Update, slightly belated

Oct23

Addergole: Year 9 is a 52-week project, and I am just about to hit week 8, so I am a little past the half-a-quarter mark for this update.

I have posted:
7 chapters (one a week, approx. 4500 words apiece)
6 bonus stories (these are a donation-level incentive, approx. 1500 words apiece)
&
12 Outtakes (these are commissioned short stories on a character of the commissioner’s choice)

This is actually a bit higher than I expected, in re. bonus stories – I had prepped one for every two weeks.

Donations in general have been coming in far more regularly than in the previous web-serial.
I attribute this to three things:
* A concrete reward for donations.
* A custom donation button at the bottom of every post
* A better product.

In total, I have received $145 in Addergoole donations and paid $50 for advertising
