Multiplex: There and Back Again Lightning Round has met (and surpassed) its funding goal! Thank you to everybody who has pledged so far! Every one of your pledges has been vital to the project’s success, and I am incredibly grateful for your support. Multiplex has never been a runaway success in terms of readership, so your enthusiasm of my little cult comic is tremendously humbling.
The fact that we’ve passed the funding goal means, of course, what next?
I’ve said before anything over $15,000 will go toward paying off my lingering debts from Book 1, the promotion of Book 2, and, of course, supporting the continued production of the regular comic strip. As with the Book 1 Kickstarter project, I will share how I spend the funds with you in backer-only updates.
But allow me to sweeten the deal slightly with new Funding Goals:
$17,500 — Bookmarks will be added to the Basic Sponsor Pack (a.k.a. the $40 Reward Level, the $75 Reward Level, and up — but not the $50 “Just the Book” Reward Level, because it’s just the books).
$20,000 — eBooks will be produced in both PDF and ePub format. All backers [with eBooks included in their reward packs] will be get both formats (or just one, if you want). Also, backers at the $100 Reward Level and up will get their Chapter 1–10 eBooks delivered on a USB key along with their other pledge rewards.
$22,500 — ALL backers at the $8 level and up will get the Chapter 11 eBook free when it is completed.
$25,000 — ALL backers at the $8 level and up will get the Chapter 12 eBook free when it is completed.
$27,500 — ALL backers at the $8 level and up will get the Chapter 13 eBook free when it is completed.
$30,000 — ALL backers at the $8 level and up will get the Chapter 14 eBook free when it is completed.
$32,500 — ALL backers at the $8 level and up will get the Chapter 15 eBook free when it is completed.
Beyond that? Let’s worry about that later. :)
