Ladies and gentlemen, to win at our Indiegogo campaign to get Prettío to draw an episode of BGR, we only need $150 more dollars. Can you believe it? We’re at 77% of goal, and we have a lot of time left. By God, we might even be able to do stretch goals! I’m still working on the script, as I have had a lot on my mind. But remember! By contributing, you may well get a VERY advance look at something that won’t go live on the site until some time after January. Since Episode 7 will begin on July 29, that means we have eps. 7, 8 and 9 to get through. So this is pretty sweet. Plus, for donators, we are giving away a high-resolution digital copy of the completed chapter. It will be considerably larger and clearer than the site version you get for free. The campaign is the widget under our Patreon block on the left. Please help, as we can use the In Demand feature of Indiegogo if we make goal to allow folks previously unable to contribute to donate via PayPal. So you can still help fund future projects if we get there. But only if we are 100% or more.

Come on, ladies and gents! We need your support! Patreon is stagnating a bit and we are SO ready to give you two pages a week… but I can’t afford it without the Patreon. Also, we are half way to the goal on Indiegogo. If we land that one successfully, not only do you get an amazing Chapter of Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody drawn by Prettío, but those of you who want to use PayPal can donate to us here using that! (the campaign stays open indefinitely if we hit 100% or better after the closing bell). I will add post-$650 funds to the sum here and unlock higher tier rewards from the Patreon campaign. The links are to the left in the sidebar.

Our Campaign Video!

I wanted to share this directly because I put a great deal of time and effort into making it as good as possible. There’s a few treats in this video: number 1, near the end is a prolonged glimpse of the young lady to be featured as Peppermint’s “conquest” in this, the final chapter of Book I. Additionally there is a sneak peek at Weremole’s work here and there. Finally, the “long lost” sketch samples Prettío did in 2012 when we were trying to hammer out a deal for her to do Peppermint Saga full-time (at the time, Glance Reviver was still drawing Ship in a Bottle, if you all remember back then ;)). So she has a decent idea what the characters are all about. Please click through the title link and find our Indiegogo campaign. I think you will like the end-result.

A One-Time Thing? (Indiegogo)

Ok, before some folks get pissed about “double-dipping” and whatnot, slow your roll. This campaign is directed at one thing, and one thing only. Once you get your reward, you’re done, it’s done, and the fine folks who love both series get a special early Christmas present. What is that present? How about Prettío finishing off the first book of Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody? That’s right, kids. If we land this one, she’s agreed to do the final episode of the first anthology of Alt-Peppermint’s AU misadventures!

Why are we doing this, you ask? Well, if we get lucky, and the Patreon explodes to $600 or more, Prettío will no longer have time to do much of anything else for me, monetarily or otherwise! She’ll be doing three pages a week and trying not to die of exhaustion! All in the name of quality smut. So, we’re trying to get this one in under the buzzer. We are asking for just enough to cover the expense of hiring her and some additional ad revenue to cover getting the word out there. Then we will not ask for more. (although the page *IS* set to flexible spending, which means if we hit goal, I can leave that door open indefinitely.) Also, there is one other HUGE advantage: did some of you notice there’s no PayPal option on Patreon? Indiegogo has no such restriction. So those of you lacking in the credit card department are finally free to help us out, assuming you at least have PayPal. So, please consider jumping on this train. Of course, if you’re already on Patreon, we still need you! Don’t leave! The existing updates are entirely dependent on it. Anyway, here it is. It’s open for the next 60 days.

Putting a Feeler Out There…

So, the Patreon is going strong, and we’re gradually creeping up on the second milestone ($157 to go!), but I wanted to put something out there: some of you have expressed interest in Peppermint Saga: Blue-Gray Rhapsody, and while I am enjoying producing that with some of my new artist friends, I am worried that I won’t get enough money or support to keep it going indefinitely. Maybe you guys can help me with that in the short-term.

Here’s what I am proposing: I put up an Indiegogo for about… let’s say $650, to cover basic production costs and give me a little “spreadin’ around” money. You know, for advertising, site upkeep and making sure I have ramen for the long nights making sure the pages go up on time. And, if we hit that goal (not TOO outrageous), the big payoff will be that maybe, probably, possibly, most-likely, Prettío is the one to draw the final episode of Book I. Now, keep in mind, she hasn’t said yea or nay yet. I just left her a message on Skype and she’s 9 hours ahead of me. So, I’m about to go to sleep and she won’t be up for maybe 2 more hours or so. but I just wanted to put that out there and see what people thought.

Oh, and Patreon patrons, I am putting up a couple sketches Prettío did when I thought we were going to be working together on Peppermint Saga back in 2012. This will be visible to all levels, except free ;p Maybe give you a slight idea of what we’re looking at here.

As always, I got my ears on. Thoughts, comments, concerns before I try this?
