Isaac's toothy cow drawing rivals anything I have seen in Rumpole Bloge's Taming the Creepiful Wood. I may never sleep again!
One of the coolest things we experience around here is seeing readers live creatively into Aerwiar. Andrew and I are always glad when he receives a little fan art, because we love knowing that his stories have taken root in your imagination. And every once in awhile, he gets pictures of Lego creations or recipe adaptations of the foods in the books. Today, we got both! Check this out. Thanks so much for sharing your family's fun, Rachel!
Oy, readers. :-)
I hope you were able to join us live for the last two hours of the Kickstarter. It was so great to see so many of you over there. If you weren't able to make it, or if you'd like to rewatch, the videos are available on the Wingfeather Saga Facebook page. After the Kickstarter closed, Andrew went back and answered a lot of questions in the comments, so check those out too.And here's a note from Andrew.The fun is only starting, but today is a rest day. We'll be back with more updates soon. Thanks again for all your support!
Guys. We did it. Thank you so much. Keep an eye out for a note from Andrew once he's recovered from not sleeping for the last month. :-)
And it's still going up. :-) Join us LIVE at 7-9 Central for the countdown party!
Andrew and Chris just unveiled one of the coolest things yet.
This weekend has been insane. On Saturday we hit three stretch goals—all of the mini-posters and badges. Yesterday we hit two more stretch goals—Andrew's Wingfeather Tale, and the Florid Sword/Shadowblade comic. I may have stopped breathing at several points during the last two days. I can't wait to see those masked heroes riding the rooftops of Dugtown!This morning, Elia T. sent us this drawing:
Look at it glow! Can you imagine anything better than seeing the Shining Isle come to life before your eyes? We've got only ten hours left to do what we can to make that a 3D reality.Ten hours! But only eight until the Live Countdown on Facebook. Join Andrew and Chris at 8:00 Central for live Q&A, music, chapter readings, special guests, and more! Until then—would you share the campaign with just one or two more people? Thank you—we are so grateful for your support and encouragement.Onward! To animation and victory!
This is it. After months and months of planning and dreaming and hoping, and then a full month of mind-blowing craziness, we're in the final stretches of the campaign to fund a pilot episode for the Wingfeather Saga Animated Series. As I write this, there are only fifty three hours to go before the Kickstarter ends. What a month! Andrew and Chris have smoke coming out of their ears. I myself am stuffing my fists in my mouth to keep from screaming in the library.These last few days, every new backer is our hero. We're hoping to make it all the way to five thousand backers by Monday night, and as many Facebook/Instagram/Twitter followers as possible, because when Chris and Andrew pitch the series to studios, those studios will ask them whether this animated series is something they should spend their money on. Will there be an audience for this? We know that there is an audience, and a faithful, exuberant audience at that. That audience is YOU. But the more of us there are, the likelier that a studio will catch the excitement and pick up the project.So, how can you help?
So, what's happening in the next 53 hours?
Also, join us for a Live Countdown on Monday for the last two hours of the campaign. This is taking place on Facebook Live, so in order to take part, you'll need to like the Facebook page.We're so grateful for all of you! Thanks for bearing with us for just a few more days of absolute insanity.—Your librarian
