You may be surprised to read this, but the pre-order campaign is still going on. And I am still asking for pre-orders to make the launch of the physical books a success! We are 56 days from the books hitting stores! It's coming at us fast! However, a lot of people have already done a tremendous amount and so I got to thinking.
'Why should I ask when I can give people something instead?' I always wanted to launch a Kickstarter-type project for the physical books. The fact that we partnered with HarperCollins actually changed that plan a lot...until now!
Presenting the Inncentives campaign, or the Vault of Foreseen Inncentives! To everyone who pre-ordered, this is a gift for supporting the story! Claim your books and when we hit milestones, we'll give out rewards! If we hit major milestones, I will offer HUGE incentives like writing a prequel to a popular character...or you can get a bookplate with my signature on it!
That's right, the marketing people bullied me into it. I will sign a few thousand with them literally hovering behind me and handing me more, and never again. So...if you ever wanted my signature, now would be a good moment to put in a claim because that's one of the finite gifts. And believe me, we're only going to do so many thousand of those at most before my hand gives out and I will never sign anything again if I can help it. Even bank checks.
...In all seriousness, though, I hope this makes the pre-order campaign more fun and lets you Patreons claim rewards as a thank-you again for being supporters who make all this happen. Hopefully we hit some of those goals and uh...I don't actually want to hit the biggest goal because it's a huge thing. But I will. Anything for the story, even if I dread it. Here we go!
