If we have to leave BlueSky, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to find me in real life. I said when I came here this was my last big social media move.

Im totally working on this so who knows? But limiting who I follow is helping. So when I click out of habit there’s less new but unnecessary content.

OTHERSIDE - Kickstarter is LIVE! @othersidespec.bsky.social · 8d

Our co-founders went to sleep and woke up to ANOTHER STRETCH GOAL HIT! Thank you so so much—that's Issue 6 funded WHICH IS HALF OF YEAR 2 FUNDED!! AND it's only Day 2!? Let's see how far into our stretch goals we can go. We added a new one to the list 👀

www.kickstarter.com/projects/hyb...

Over a hazy purple background, there's the header "stretch goals." The first two goals, of $6900 $8300, are now illuminated in rainbow with a picture of an open lock next to it. The remaining goals of $9700, $11000 and $12000 show a closed lock next to them.

It's release day!

This story began as a wee novella in the summer of 2020 when I needed a distraction from the world. Over the past four years, and countless revisions, it grew into this novel.
