Remember when <a href="http://seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com/227114.html">I posted all glowingly about a web comic called <i>Skin Horse</i>, and kept saying everybody should read it</a>?<br /><br />Remember how one of my big selling points was <a href="http://www.couscous.2dcomics.com/store/index.php?productID=115">the first year of strips was now available in convenient dead tree format</a> that you can take anywhere?<br /><br />Good.<br /><br />Shaenon and Jeff are <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/250007708/skin-horse-volume-2">now funding volume two through Kickstarter</a>, which is a sort of crowd-funding aggregation service. You say how much you need by what date, and then people kick in what they can to make your project happen. The <i>Skin Horse</i> fund opened yesterday, with a $3,000 goal and an end date of, well, July.<br /><br />It hit $3,000 last night. See what can happen when people believe that you're real?<br /><br />Anyway: The <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/250007708/skin-horse-volume-2">volume two Kickstarter sponsorship fund</a> is still open, and comes with some really awesome bonuses for sponsorship, including character sketches, side-stories, and more. The $20 sponsorship level gets you a signed copy of the book, for what would have been the book's cover price <i>anyway</i>&mdash;it's basically pre-ordering with a guaranteed signature, which is pretty neat.<br /><br />If you like <i>Skin Horse</i>, consider sponsoring volume two. If you can't figure out what the hell I'm talking about, <a href="http://www.skin-horse.com/">go read the comic, and then consider sponsoring volume two</a>.<br /><br />We're the shadow government.<br /><br />We're here to help.
