OK, the CSP-15 Interlude is done, about 2800 words. The other bonus chapter is likely going to be about the same length.

I'd originally intended these to be print-exclusive chapters, but I had three laugh-out-loud moments writing the CSP-15 bit, so...

What do you think if I made posting the bonus chapters to FimFiction an $8500 stretch goal?

Seriously looking for input from those of you who have already pledged, by the way, since you'd no longer be getting an exclusive on those bits.

I'll be livestreaming the writing of at least one of the Kickstarter bonus CSP chapters tonight, beginning 7 PM Central, on my Twitch channel:

Check it out on the most recent update, plus a possible third patch, here:

In which I attempt to pick things up off a moon and deliver them back to the mother planet.

Turns out it's not all that easy. At all.

So, for those of you who might not have noticed, Changeling Space Program's print-version Kickstarter has succeeded magnificently:

This makes it much more likely that I will attempt my own Maretian edition in 2022. However, there are some issues of scale to be discussed.

So: if the project hits $10,000, I will read the entirety of Changeling Space Program aloud myself and post it to YouTube.

Not all at once- it'll be about an hour's worth per week, since I'll be adding visuals and background music (mostly Kevin MacLeod) to it.

I'd prefer a female voice record it, but I haven't got one, and borrowing someone else's costs a lot of money.

I did the lettering, so don't blame the artist for that.

This is the CSP-24 patch for one of the stretch goals on the Kickstarter, and it's available now as an add-on.

... as in, I've begun setting it up. It'll be a few days before it goes live, at least.

It will only run thirty days, though, so be warned.

Also, I've made the first pass at page setup. As things presently are, with the main text at 11-point type, the book runs 740 pages.

Based on feedback from you, the challenge coin is off. The changeling flag CSP patch will be a starting add-on, and a CSP-24 mission patch will become a stretch goal.

... and I have a question for those of you who would like add-ons.

Specifically:

Which would you rather have: a CSP embroidered patch, or a CSP challenge coin? (I don't think I can afford to offer both, considering I'd be on the hook for minimum print runs.)

(Sorry, an ESA patch/coin is unlikely for now.)
