imageRegular readers of my blog will hopefully remember me announcing Defying Doomsday, the anthology I’m editing. Here’s a quick reminder:

Apocalypse fiction rarely includes characters with disability, chronic illness and other impairments. When these characters do appear, they usually die early on, or are secondary characters undeveloped into anything more than a burden to the protagonist. Defying Doomsday will be an anthology showing that disabled characters have far more interesting stories to tell in post-apocalyptic/dystopian fiction.

The anthology will be varied, with characters experiencing all kinds of disability from physical impairments, chronic illnesses, mental illnesses and/or neurodiverse characters. There will also be a variety of stories, including those that are fun, sad, adventurous and horrific.

The stories in Defying Doomsday will look at periods of upheaval from new and interesting perspectives. The anthology will share narratives about characters with disability, characters with chronic illnesses and other impairments, surviving the apocalypse and contending with the collapse of life as they know it.

If that sounds exciting, you will hopefully want to check out our Pozible campaign where you can pre-order the book (due out in 2016) or choose some other goodies. To check it out visit: http://ift.tt/1F1LoS7.

I just heard about this anthology on the Twitters and backed it! THIS IS VERY RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS. Y’all should take a look and become a supporter, too! :D

Hey folks, this project has 8 days left and about $3k to reach its funding goal!  Check it out and become a backer.  I really want to read this anthology!

Encik Farhan is a scammer.  He backs projects, pledging hundreds or thousands of dollars at the highest tier, and then disputes the credit card charges 1-3 months later, often after his rewards have been shipped.

He pledged $1000 to my campaign, and a few days after I posted an update that backer rewards were being shipped, he filed a charge dispute with his credit card company.  I’m still waiting for the outcome of my appeal, but if I lose $1000, it will ruin me.

Another project creator got in touch with me this week, asking about Encik Farhan, and dozens of creators have been affected by this asshole, but there is no built-in way to report individual backers or profiles on Kickstarter.

His profile: http://www.kickstarter.com/profile/61606350

His email address registered with Kickstarter is akusukaiphone@gmail.com, and the contact email he gave me in his survey response is wadepakf@gmail.com.

If you are starting a project, WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY.  If he backs your project, assume that those funds will be disputed after your campaign is over.  He’s screwing over creators, and meanwhile, he still gets to look good with all these “backed” projects showing up on his profile.

UPDATES:

I posted an update earlier today, but in summation:

Kickstarter has deleted Farhan’s account and banned him from the site.  They issued an official statement regarding the incident, as well as a personal response to me letting me know the above, and that they will be working with all the project creators and Amazon Payments to get this resolved.

I’m happy with Kickstarter’s response so far, and I’m hopeful that we’ll see a positive outcome not only for me, but for all the creators that were affected.

The Misfortune High Kickstarter has just cracked its last milestone before the big goal of $3000.  THAT’S AMAZING.  The latest milestone sketch is of Sonia desperately trying to touch her toes.  Running a Kickstarter is kind of like that.  The toes are right in front of you.  You’re almost there.  You can almost taste the toes (but don’t)! Just…a….little….further!

Also, by popular demand, Add-Ons are now available so you can add little extra doodads and sketches to your order that your the existing rewards tiers don’t cover.  Here’s the price list:

Price List (Limit 10 on all items except where otherwise posted)

  • Misfortune High Book 1 $5
  • MH Post Card Set $9
  • MH Exclusive Dragon Print $5
  • Sonia Sculpt $40
  • Valkyrie Squadron Book 1 $7
  • Valkyrie Squadron Book 1-3 Set $18
  • Valkyrie Squadron Charm $10
  • Marker Commission $15
  • Digital Commission $50

If you’ve already pledged, just add on the extra money and send a message with what you’re ordering so I can record for my special requests list.  If you haven’t pledged, just add on the extra price to your pledge and send a message with your requested items.  Same deal, different buttons.  

SIGNAL BOOOOOOOOST!
