Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

Kickstarter successful and closed

The Kickstarter campaign for Not-Safe.Space Chapter 3 concluded successfully on April 21, and Scott extended the time allowed for late pledges until May 19.

Books have been ordered from the printer and Scott will be spending the next week or so setting up and sending the PDF files to those who asked for them.

(There are still six of you who have not responded to the survey asking for e-mail and snail-mail addresses, he'll do the best he can.)

Thanks to all for supporting this Kickstarter!

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter!

UPDATE to the UPDATE: The problem has been solved, all rewards are now available. I've extended the campaign an extra day, to April 21. Thanks for bearing with me!

UPDATE: There has been some strange glitch in the Kickstarter launch, so Scott is cancelling the campaign temporarily and will re-start as soon the cause of the problem can be determined and corrected.

Scott is gearing-up for his third Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign!

(Not-Safe.Space is Scott's sexy spin-off of QUANTUM VIBE.)

For those of you who haven't signed up for one of the NSFW Patreon tiers, this will be the best way to get in on the action for a very reasonable price.

Go to THIS link. The campaign starts March 16 and runs through April 20.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Larger panel – Cerereans and soldiers, both with handguns in their holsters, casually mingling in the plaza. There are a few small tables still out where games are being played. Others are just standing around conversing. In the background, some people from both groups dancing.
Caption: Christmas started uneventfully. Locals and soldiers engaged in conversation, games, and when a sound system had been set up, dancing.
Caption: Everyone seemed to be having fun, but a growing sense of foreboding grew as Christmas progressed.
Panel 2
Medium close-up of Ed in the Plaza, leaning against a fountain railing and looking about. Chang approaches him from the middle distance.
Caption: But just short of 24 hours …
Chang: Time's about up, Ed. I have my orders
Panel 3
Ed continues leaning casually against the railing as he speaks with Chang.
Ed: No it's not, Chang.
Chang: No, Ed, Christmas began 24 hours ago on the International Date Line. Time is up.
Panel 4
Larger panel – now they're in a different part of the plaza, and Ed has a large electronic pad and a stylus with which he has drawn a diagram. The diagram shows a Mercator projection of the Earth's surface, divided into the 24 major time zones, with a bunch of arrows and brackets above and below. Chang is smiling.
Caption: Ed drew a diagram showing how the days overlapped with each other so that while a given day just lasted 24 hours in any one location, that day exists somewhere on Terra for 48 hours.
Ed: It's Christmas somewhere on Terra for 48 hours.
