Thank you very much for your very pledge Red! I noticed you didn't select a reward tier for your pledge. Did you not want any of the rewards we were offering?
I didn't select one, aye. It's something I haven't done on any Kickstarter project. The opportunity to support someone's work is all I require; I don't really look for anything in return, and it's a way for you to save on resources. I'm just pretty bad at receiving things, in general
(Just ask JT how unbearably indecisive and unwilling I was to receive anything after the Halloween Fanworks contest
)

I know you're probably relying on a lot of word of mouth, but have you considered sinking a few bucks into Facebook / Google Marketing? Even a week-long campaign with a modest budget can reach thousands of people.
Yeah I have been very seriously considering running an ad through Google and Facebook both. I'm also looking at a few other marketing options as well. I haven't made up my mind quite yet on who all I am going to pay for advertising but that is definitely on the way.
Do set up a FB page; it can be a helpful landing spot for information. What you might want to consider from that is promotion through whatever relevant Share-4-Shares, whereby you ask a page to share yours, and you in return will share theirs. Targeting the right page/group is much more likelier to yield greater engagement, as the target audience is more relevant and interested. I've used FB ads before, as has someone I know from this forum, and both of us pretty much know that the likes you receive don't give you near enough the engagement level and post reach you'd expect. However, very specific and clever targeting may nonetheless prove beneficial, and if you feel up to it then go; otherwise Google might yield better results. I have heard of Twitter being a good way to promote one's work, too.
