Strange Horizons is such an integral part of the SFF ecosystem. They truly do it all: poetry, criticism, fiction, podcasts, art, special issues. Let's keep their lights on and make sure they keep doing the awesome things they do for a long time: kickstarter.com/projects/str…

It would be super cool to unlock ALL the mini-issue stories by Wednesday! Let's do it!
Have you got your ticket for Small Wonders Year 2? Last call for boarding! We'll be closing the doors for late pledges in just a couple of days, so have your tickets ready and join us for a fantastic ride! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

True story: The kickstarter was *supposed* to end this coming Monday. Mistakes were made. By me. 😭 And so of course any pledges that get made now will still count towards stretch goals and such. Just in case you still wanted a certain callipygean sticker...
So the kickstarter ended on Monday (whew!) but we've enabled "late pledges" for a little while longer. If you had any fear of missing out and wanted Neat Loot and a subscription for year 2, you can still do that thing, for a little while longer! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

I should eat a nice lunch more often. Let's get more stretch goals!
While @cislyn was prepping lunch, you did it! Everyone who’s backed us at the subscription tier or higher gets the Best of Year One with editor intros to each piece! There’s still 2 hours to grab a subscription and this ebook! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

There are still some Mycology Missives left! I would love to write you a letter and send you a poem, a drawing, stickers, and more fun fungus things! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

Less than $200 to go! This is really achievable! If you've been thinking about a subscription, now is a GREAT time to do it... kickstarter.com/projects/cis…
Good morning and welcome to the last 8 hours of our Kickstarter! We’re in what baseball fans call the 8th inning zoomies. We’re $400 away from unlocking the Best of Year One anthology for all backers plus another sticker. Help us make that happen! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

$19 away now. One subscription would cover it. Or someone getting the sticker pack - and when you do, you'll unlock another sticker!
We are $54 away from getting an issue guest-edited by @premeesaurus and Chimedum Ohaegbu! (Plus an extra sticker!)

Y'all want me to have a nap, don't you? 😂
Happy Sunday! We’ve got less than two days left on our Kickstarter! We’re about $200 away from unlocking our guest edited issue and another sticker, and slowly closing in on @cislyn getting a nap! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

I am ridiculously proud of that open lock.
Ok, but we're getting to use the little logo lock that's OPEN now and that's really cool, you have to admit. Help us open more locks here: kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

Can confirm: very nice, slightly feral. Also fun!
We have 56 hours and $300 left before getting into ✨stretch goals✨. You can still pick up a hangout with @cislyn and @Sargent and talk flash fiction or poetry or magazine running or tea or fountain pens. They’re very nice and only slightly feral! kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

Will we reach out funding goal tonight? Will the co-editors refresh the KS page until something breaks? WHO CAN SAY?!
Ahhhh! This is so exciting! We're only $500 away! Will we get there tonight? kickstarter.com/projects/cis…

This is one of my favorite things to do! Give us a prompt, we give you a story!
It's Flash Friday! Respond to this post with a word or short phrase, and we'll choose a flash fiction story for you!

I'm not saying we DO have a giant snail, but I'm not saying we DON'T. Maybe it's best if we just get funded before something tragic happens to the containment field... kickstarter.com/projects/cis…
