The Phill from GCHQ Kickstarter has launched!
So this is what I have been using all my time on instead of making new pages for the actual comic: making a fundraiser for the first printed version.
Here's the link for the Kickstarter page.
The money will almost exclusively be used for printing a hard cover album in classic European A4 style. I need to sell about 150 albums, but I have of course also invented some more expensive option like signed prints and such.
Steemit was among the first places where I published the Phill pages, and I have had a lot of fine feedback and help from this community. Really a lot actually! So as much as I hope you will support and share this, I can already say: thank you!
Sorry that postal is so damn expensive - one third of the goal is set off for that!
Great to see this is finally happening. Ima grab one ofcourse, good luck!
Thanks, mate. Every book sold is just great news.
I've catched a few here on steemit along the way pretty cool design and funny / sarcasm. Ill catch one or two more now.
It's cool that you are doing a physical print in book, the style certainly deserves it.
Thanks for sharing !
You are welcome! I am almost halfway in pledges after two days, so I am pretty confident that it will succeed. I'm really looking forward to holding a real copy in my hands.
I really want this. It is expensive with the postage, but I may treat myself :)
It is a better deal if I can buy 3 copies and find others in the UK who want one. If anyone is interested let me know. I assume postage within the UK would not be so bad, but I will be at SteemcampUK in Leicester and can get to London meetups to pass them on.
I made 3 copies option so it could be a bit cheaper if you could find someone to share the reward with. I did buy a copy of the Ithaqa comic by @drwatson and @la-fumettista, but the postal was about the same as the magazine. One of the drawbacks of global trade.
I hope you find someone who is interested. When (not if :) the fundraiser is successful I will try to see if I can sell some to comic shops in Britain and I will probably also be able to do it cheaper from a webshop I am working on as Kickstarter charges 11% which is also applied to the postal and the packaging. But for now I just have to do it this way.
Gave you the best % upvote I can give at the moment - next best thing is to re-steem it! Glad to see you back, my Scandinavian friend!
But what are pennies, all my SP is worth, when I can go over to Kickstarter (and I encourage everyone to do so) and give you fiat money!
UPDATE:
OK, so I did: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/katharsisdrill/phill-from-gchq?ref=thanks-copy
however, this is not so easy if you are in Europe: I entered my credit card I always use and which is registered to my Austrian address, and when it came to entering my postal code, it would not take it (1210). But I do have a North American Credit Card also, and it is registered to my old Canadian address, and it took that postal code (T1K 5A7). Austria and Denmark have 4 figure postal codes. Some other EU Countries have 5 or more see here. Just wondering if only North Americans can pledge and not Europeans (or anywhere else in the world that has a different system not in Kikstarters form fields). US has a 5 figure postal code, so maybe some EU countries with 5 figure codes might be accepted, idk. It did take my Canadian code with six figures and a space between, so that must be in the system. If you type in more than 3 numbers, a space is created after 3, so my Austrian 1210 looked like this 121 0 - and it said it is not a valid code.
Damn, this is a long story, wasting half a day on this!
Thanks for the support, mate. Even though it has been as messy business. The whole paying part is handled by Kickstarter so I am not really able to help people. But maybe their system is a bit too UScentric? I know that people here in Denmark has been able to pledge and also from Norway, Britain and France, but I'm not sure about the thing about the postal code.
well, maybe it is unique to me,lol - but as I said, I managed because I used a Canadian Walmart credit card. My main card is Canadian too, but the billing address is my Vienna address. Perhaps that is the screw up, because at the Bank, when I changed my address, they had a hard time entering it correctly in my files. Same thing, pre-programmed forms.
At least you have exotic North American cards to magic your way through!
