Kickstarter Update

[ecosophia]

I'm delighted to report that the fundraiser for Locust Creek Plant Haven, which I discussed in earlier posts here and here, is finished and has been a thumping success. They exceeded their goal with a donation total of $4889, so all the improvements to the endangered plant sanctuary and the establishment of a forest school for children are going ahead as we speak.  If you haven't visited the photo page for the fundraiser here, take a moment to do so. 

Meanwhile the Kickstarter subscription campaign for MYTHIC Magazine, which I also discussed in this earlier post, is heading into the home stretch, with just four days still to go. It's already met its minimum and passed the first of its stretch goals, and with $3,999 raised, it's got just a little more to go to hit the second stretch goal. Publisher Shaun Kilgore's mission here is one that ought to warm the heart of anyone who's ever dreamed of writing a story: he wants to pay his authors more. If you haven't contributed yet, or even if you have, please consider visiting the Kickstarter page here and making a contribution -- and if you know of any venues where you can let people know about the fundraiser or MYTHIC Magazine, please consider helping to get the word out. Thank you! 

***Update***--45 hours to go as I type this, and the fundraiser has met the second of its stretch goals. Thank you, everyone -- and if you haven't contributed yet, please consider doing so now!

***Further Update*** -- the fundraiser has closed, having hit three, count 'em, three of its stretch goals, and well over double the original amount Shaun asked for. Thank you, all of you!  I have the best readers on the internet, full stop, end of sentence.

Thanks for the reshare on this one. Yes, down to the final few days. We're very close to hitting the second stretch goal now. I appreciate all who've seen JMG's posts and jumped aboard.

This is great news, I am glad to find out that this project is doing well. I may look into creating a contribution of some kind for this magazine, I am currently on the look out for more outlets. The cover art is very appealing, although I tend to do interior illustrations more myself. I have not yet been lucky enough to make a cover appearance.

Marc, Did you have a website or portfolio of your artwork? I'm curious about interior illustrations.

Yes you do have the best readers on the internet. :-)

Here's a tree full of the ones who helped us go over our goal.

Thank you again JMG and commentariat!
