Help fund the debut album for WHITECAP!
Hey guys i need help funding a debut album i’m making that’s actually called Burnt Out Angel. To hear what it will sound like please listen to my soundcloud here: soundcloud.com/officialwhitecap
Had to channel my excitement for the announcement of the TSV short film that is in the making by the creator himself by creating my own fake movie poster
And if you’ve never heard of ‘The Sun Vanished’, it started out as an ARG on Twitter about a guy who finds out through the news that the sun had disappeared and that panic and riots broke out. Soon after, strange and frightening things start to happen where flickering lights appear outside and people begin to act strange or end up dying. He is forced to survive this apocalyptic scenario in a world plunged in darkness. I highly encourage checking out the story for yourself on the Twitter account @TheSunVanished by scrolling to the very 1st tweet to start reading and watching the videos. I promise, it’ll be worth your time! Also, the creator has made an indiegogo to fund the making of the short film that will centre around an enstranged couple who is caught up in the global catastrophe. The link to donate is [HERE].
We’re just over 250% funded on indiegogo! WHAT!
In light of that we have added some stretch goals including:
If we raise $1500 or more- All physical orders get a small postcard print of the cover art.
If we raise $2000 or more- All hardcover and up physical orders get a postcard print of NEW bonus art!
If we raise $2500 or more- We add COLOR art inside the Limited Edition copies of the book.
Help us out by reblogging this post, or check us out on twitter for lots of posts to retweet and spread the word!
We posted an excerpt (NSFW warning!) of one of the stories included in the collection here: carnationbooks.com/queerholmes.
And we posted a tiny vignette of a preview of the cover art on the updates page!
Want another sneak peek? Hmmm…Okay!
…I know, I’m sorry, we’re a bunch of teases. We really can’t wait to share the finished cover with you all very soon!
We reached our minimum goal less than 48 hour after launching our indiegogo campaign and we are FREAKING OUT!
We’re so excited, we can barely function.
What we’d like to do now is see if we can raise DOUBLE our budget! Doing so would help us pay our authors more, and possibly commission more art to include in/with this book!

Want to read an (NSFW) excerpt from one of the stories from the collection?CLICK HERE to read part of “The Adventure of Our Secret Life” by Elyssa Warkentin (@doctornerdington)!: http://carnationbooks.com/queerholmes
We’re crowdfunding a small collection of Sherlock Holmes stories!
This collection will feature works by well know fic authors such as:
- Berlynn Wohl ( @berlynn-wohl)
- Elyssa Warkentin (aka @doctornerdington)
- Evadare Volney (aka @vulgarweed)
- MerindaB (aka @merindab)
- AND MORE (See the campaign page for a full list of authors!)
The stories range in heat level, genre, length, and tone. All take place in the Victorian era and explore a queer Holmes!
Cover art for this book will be by the wonderfully talented Max Kennedy ( aka @maxkennedy24). We will post art previews here and on the indiegogo campaign page, so check those spaces out in the coming weeks!
Thecampaign is set to run for 45 days. We are already, only 24 hours since we went live on indiegogo, almost halfway to our minimum goal! We’re SO EXCITED and we hope more folks will claim the awesome perks we have available.

- $5 ebook only
- $10 paperback only
- $18 ebook + paperback combo with a small cover art postcard
- $28 ebook + hardcover combo with a large cover art postcard plus your name on the acknowledgments page.

Not able to contribute right now? The book will be made available in ebook and potentially also in paperback format through Amazon in Spring 2020, and you will be able to snag a copy then. However, copies for sale through indiegogo are significantly discounted, so keep that in mind!
FAQs:
Is the thumbprint graphic the cover art? Nope! This is just a temporary image we are using for this project.
Are the authors getting paid? Absolutely. All the authors signed a contract which entitles them to payment through royalties up to a certain amount. Authors will receive royalties from books sold via the campaign as well.
Is the artist getting paid? Yes, of course! Everyone working on this book is getting PAID!
Why are you crowdfunding this project? This was a somewhat big project for us and one that is very near and dear to our hearts. We exist as a company because of two things: Sherlock Holmes fandom and fan fiction authors. We wanted to make this project, which combines these two things we care about SO much, a bit special with more options than our current model would allow (things like hardcovers and bonus art!). In order to do that, we realized we needed to think outside the box. That’s how we decided to go this route.
Will you crowdfund all your books now? Nah, we won’t be doing that. We might crowdfunding some larger projects in the future, but definitely no plans to do this for every title!
Again,here’s the link to the campaign, where you can ask questions in the comments!: https://igg.me/at/f9NeeUQt-Gk/x/22453214#/
“To give you context, most of the photographers who shoot major fashion editorials & campaigns are white & male. There are a select group of female photographers who are shooting high level projects but, as far as I know - none of them are black. The fact that I’m Black & Female & a Photographer, who’s main focus is on shooting Men (when most female photographers usually shoot other women), is incredibly significant. And the fact that I’m at the helm of My Own Magazine, that I’ve photographed 100% of the content for, & that will be competing on newsstands with the biggest fashion magazines being published today, is even more significant.”- Dana Scruggs
