Let's Unleash Joe Roman
Posted by jurassicpork | 9:18 PM

(Special thanks to Jill, your server, for introducing me to Kickstarter by way of Salon.com.)

WTF is Joe Roman? He's the antihero in a trilogy I've been working on since last year and I decided to launch a project on Kickstarter, which is essentially a patronage site. Here's how it works in a nutshell:

Go to the proposal page and pledge what you can if you choose. In 60 days, if I meet my fundraising goal (in this case, $5000), you will not be billed for your pledge and I will not receive a penny before the 60 days are up. If I make $4999 after 60 days, tough shit. I get nothing and you get billed nothing.

But if I do, my ultimate goal to get a CreateSpace physical edition printed up and distributed of each of the Roman trilogy. Btw, if you look on the right side of the page, you'll note my rewards program including all sorts of little goodies I'll throw in for a specified pledge. So take a looksee and be sure to check out my brilliant promotional video that shows off all my telegenic glory (/snark).

Give a street address or PO box and I'll cut you a check for $100.

I've enjoyed your writing a great deal and I doubt if I ever told you, thank you.

You get $100 no matter what, I owe you.

don't you mean "In 60 days, if I meet my goal, you will be billed for your pledge"? The way it's written, you get nothing either way.
