Kickstarter Success!

The Not-Safe-Space 2 Kickstarter Campaign has ended successfully. Thanks to all who pledged!

Now we get to wait 2 weeks while Kickstarter transmits the funds, and Scott can order the books, and send surveys to backers to get current e-mail addresses for the .PDF versions and mailing addresses for the physical books.

All of this should show up in June.

Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter 2

The epic Not-Safe.Space story continues with Part 2, and Scott requires funds to publish a print volume of _Not-Safe.Space_ Chapter 2.

This large-format, 48-page trade paperback is a must for fans of Eithne Lamdagan, aka The CUSH Queen, and her friends

The campaign begins Sunday, April 6 and concludes Tuesday, May 8.

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Re-establish the scene. All of the rescuers and rescuees plus Arana and Tobi are gathered in Tobi's living room, discussing recent events. Focus is between Tobi and Nowra with Gerald.
Tobi: The guard?
Nowra: See, I got Gerald as an egg, which I incubated in a shoebox. He imprinted on me as his 'mother.'
Nowra: Anyway, I decided to see if I could train Gerald to make certain sounds on verbal command.
Panel 2
Close-up on Gerald, sitting on Nowra's shoulder.
Nowra: So I downloaded and taught Gerald hundreds of sounds, associated with specific key words.

Panel 3
Two-shot of Nowra and Gerald.
Nowra: So, for example, if I say 'dog.'
Gerald: Rarf! Rarf!
Nowra: Or, if I say 'cat'
Gerald: Meow!

Panel 4
Looking past Nowra and Gerald to show most of the group gathered around, looking at the bird appreciatively, many of them clapping their hands.
Nowra: And if I say, 'shotgun.'
Gerald: Krk-CHAK!

Panel 5
Nowra with Neanne looking at him adoringly from one shoulder, Gerald perched on the other, as Nowra waxes triumphant.
Nowra: When I saw Gerald in the room behind Jensen, I worked s-h-o-t-g-u-n into what I was saying.
Nowra: Gerald made the sound, Jensen believed it, and gave up.
Panel 6
Closing scene, group shot, Nowra finishes his story, everyone is smiling and laughing.
Nowra: The funny part is, Jensen knew about Gerald's talent but when he heard that shotgun ...
Gerald: Krk-CHAK!
Nowra: ... being racked, he could think of nothing else.
Nowra: Boy, was he pissed after he figured it out.
