TMNT Package in Kickstarter
 

Hey, guys --

I wasn't sure if it's be appropriate for me, as a TMNT writer, to flog my wares in the "comics" section -- but hey, since you also have a specific buying/selling/trading forum, let's do this!

I'm running a Kickstarter for my creator-owned book Past the Last Mountain, and today I added a reward level aimed at TMNT readers, which gets you a whole passel of signed books and merch, plus an original TMNT story written by me, for you, about your favorite TMNT character(s). Basically any story you've wanted to see told: sure, I'll tell it!

Here's the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...?ref=user_menu

And here's a breakdown of what you get:

Non-TMNT Stuff
-- A copy of the 224-page Past the Last Mountain trade paperback
-- A copy of the CREATURE PRINT by Louie Joyce, of the PTLM cast
-- the DIGITAL COMBO PACK featuring five digital books by the creators

And the TMNT Stuff
-- SIGNED COPIES of the trade paperbacks for TMNT: MUTANIMALS, TMNT: TURTLES IN TIME and TMNT: UTROM EMPIRE. I will sign and personalize each of these copies with individualized messages -- and will even sketch in them (badly) if you'd like.
-- A SIGNED COPY of TMNT: UNIVERSE VOL. 1. Same signing and personalization as above, but shipped upon release in 2017.
-- A random TMNT 5" FIGURE from my personal collection. Straight from my shelf to you.
-- A UNIQUE TMNT STORY written by me, about the character of your choice. This will be a 1,000-word (or more) prose story, and will be unlicensed fan fiction for your own use and enjoyment. If you'd like, this story can also be written directly into your trade paperbacks, in four mini-chapters.

So, there you go. Just thought I'd make you guys aware of it, in case anyone is interested. Also, for what it's worth, I do genuinely believe that folks who like my TMNT work will enjoy Past the Last Mountain as well.

Best,

Paul

very cool
 

$200 is a bit steep for me. Is there a donation that would get me a signed Turles in time or the personalized story?

agreed, and only to the US leaves me out :(

Hey, guys. Yeah, it's steep, and I didn't know if anyone would go for it; but I did also do my best to provide a great value for the amount.

turtlefanforever, it'd be tough for me to go lower/smaller, since the payment is mainly for the time it'd take me to write the story (I wouldn't half-ass it, so it'd go through the normal process of brainstorming, outlining, and several revisions to polish it up and make it awesome for you), and the additional books and merchandise were my way of making it worth it to you, as a consumer.

And TheCanadiandrome (great name) it sounds like the price makes this a moot point, but I would be able to ship it outside the US -- we'd just need to talk about the shipping fee. For a package that large I didn't want to put a flat fee for anywhere outside the U.S., since there are a lot of regional variations.

So, there you go! Sorry to disappoint (as it'll say on me headstone).

Lowered the price on this after talking to my collaborators. I basically kinda flipped the script on it -- instead of making it a market rate for the story, while throwing in the books/merch for free, it now basically covers the books/merch, while the story is done for free. Hope this helps, but if not I understand.
