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
Wide panel/establishing shot, Guy Caillard's knife-fighting class. Actually, it's Bryce Carson's class – Bryce is 40-ish, physically fit, mixed African/Chinese descent, friendly attitude. Bryce and his students are wearing sweat-clothes with cloth belts, and Chinese-style cloth slippers, and each wields a 'red knife,' which is a plastic, soft-tipped replica of a 'fighting knife,' such being a knife with a double-edged, six-inch blade, a short hand guard, and a six-inch handle. Since we're not doing full color, you can't actually make these red knives red, but do your best to make them look like plastic. There are only three students: One is Donielle, a plain young woman a bit on the pudgy side; Guy, and young Wally Cooper, now about 14 Earth years, who Bryce is introducing.

Bryce: Time to start the knife-fighting class, and today we welcome our new student, Wally Cooper.

Panel 2
Three-shot of the students. Donielle on the left, Guy in the center, Wally on the right. Guy reaches out with his left hand and condescendingly pats Wally on the head.

Guy: Ah, young Sv. Cooper. Lost interest in pranking newcomers, I hope?

Panel 3
Wally pokes the end of his practice knife into Guy's chest in a quick 'touché' move, catching Guy flat-footed. Donielle giggles.

Wally: Fortunately for you, yeah.
