Attention Kickstarter Aficionados: Who Wants To See A Preview?

[dr_pretentious]

Kickstarter has approved my campaign to go live whenever I'm ready. As far as I can tell, that mostly means I filled in all the blanks on the endless webform, because the approval came back almost instantly. In a day or two, I can hope to see feedback from their staff of live humans.

I'm hoping those of you who have experience backing or running campaigns will take a look at the page in preview and advise me on how to improve it.

If people who are definitely planning to back the campaign were to post their pledges on the first day, that would be immensely helpful. If the project has legs right away, Kickstarter might make it one of their staff picks and promote it to people who otherwise might not see it.

I had planned to go live on the 13th, but that didn't leave much time for implementing suggestions, and would have meant asking people to rush to take a look at it. When I ask favors, I generally try not to ask people to hurry about them.

So it looks like we'll go live on Tuesday, October 20th. And then I'll have as frenzied a 30 days as I ever did for National Novel Writing Month.

I've backed a few and am willing to look at a preview.

BTW, my ladies' ex-co-workers book club picked *Tales from Rugosa Coven* out of 5 possibilities (I pulled out several fantasies which take gods and prayer seriously; we genre-hop a lot and even do non-fiction occasionally) to read for November. The local author angle tipped the balance, but they were leaning that way anyway; the others are kind of neo-feudal (not that there's anything wrong with that, but, done that).

Thank you! I'll send the preview link by lj message.

And thanks for suggesting my book to your book club. I'd be happy to field questions from them, if they have any.
