It's Gonna Be Awesome.

[abracanabra]

Holy shit!

Okay, somebody called my "If anybody donates this much I will come up with something awesome--something so awesome that I have no idea what it is yet" bluff.

Um.

Right. Need to come up with something really awesome.

Possibilities I've thought of that may or may not be included:
* A character that is not just named after you, but actually *is* you.
* Some ability to ask "but what happened next?" and get a story written in response.
* Original art--need to check with the actual artist about that--or at least signed, numbered etc.
* Signed rough draft pages?
* Special edition rough draft/finished novel? (Pg. 1 rough draft, pg. 2 polished novel, etc.)
* Special "art of CoBB" book
* Access to episodes/podcasts ahead of time, or special "side episodes" (This is also something I've thought of setting up for anyone who donates--at least for the next episode they'd get an email or something like it saying, "Go here for an early preview/special episode.")

So--any suggestions? What do you think the awesomest thing a writer can do is?

I'm still working up the characters for the game--it's mainly a character driven story.

I could also add this person's name into the game? (It helps that two of the leading characters are still not named, but then the person would need to be willing to be a very poor boy...).

Hmm. Interesting. I will add that to the list of possibilities as I figure this out.

Not about the character, but--thought you might need to know the cost of the circus entrance fee, couldn't remember if I'd passed that along. An adult entrance would cost $.50, and children and servants $.25. Also, this link may be interesting for figuring out coinage: http://www.coincommunity.com/coin_histories/nickel_1866_shield.asp
