The Margins store is back in business! Zora has recovered and is ready to ship your holiday packages. To celebrate their regained mobility (and Black Friday, we guess), everything on our Gumroad is 25% off with the offer code “2020.″ The sale will run through Tuesday, December 1!
Items ordered before Friday, Dec 4 will ship on Sat, Dec 5, and items ordered before Friday, Dec 11 will ship on Sat, Dec 12. The last day for US orders guaranteed to arrive by Christmas 2020 is Friday, Dec 11!
We Kickstarted Dates 1 in 2015, and Dates 2 in 2017, and now we’re back for round 3! With over fifty contributors and more rip-roarin’ adventure than ever before, Dates 3 is 300+ pages packed with comics, illustrations, and prose. All the stories feature queer characters living their lives to the fullest, and—best of all—there are no tragic endings.
Check out the Kickstarter page for more information and previews—and to learn about all the cool rewards you can get for supporting the campaign! We’ll also be posting more process work right here on our blog and our facebook page, and you can follow our twitter for daily previews and creator features. And even if you aren’t able to back the campaign, a reblog or share can make a real difference!
The Kickstarter for this 300+ page volume of queer historical fiction comics, illustration, and prose ends at 8PM EST on MARCH 28th! You can still pick up some amazing bonuses and help us hit some stretch goals—back Dates 3 now!
With JUST UNDER 47 HOURS LEFT, we’ve unlocked our first stretch goal—spot gloss on the cover and our FIRST CONTRIBUTOR PAY INCREASE! At $37,000 we print the bonus comic & increase contributor pay again—help us get there!
We did it!! Thanks to our backers and every single person who shared the Dates 3 campaign, we’ve reached our goal and Dates 3 will 100% for sure be coming to an internet, convention, or mailbox near you very soon. BUT we’re not done yet—we’ve still got just over a week in the campaign, and we’ve got stretch goals!
Our first stretch goal, at $30,000, will get spot gloss on the cover of the book, and increase our contributors’ rate by $10/page (for a total of $60/page)!
Then, our $37,000 goal will allow us to print the Dates 3 bonus comic, and include it in every physical pledge that includes the bonus material! (And of course, we’ll be able to increase our contributors’ rate by $20/page, for a total of $70/page).
Thanks so much for all your support—let’s keep up the momentum!
