Message: <blockquote data-quote="stormwell" data-source="post: 6169719" data-attributes="member: 6748725">Kickstarter Update: And She's Done!The project has reached its conclusion, though I've had a positive response I am a little disappointed that the project didn't reach its target.In retrospect there are probably a ton of things I could've done differently to make it more successful, the major one I believe that I probably should've spent more time promoting the project before it started. Yes we got up to 31% funded with £943 from 60 backers, had I promoted it heavily for an extra couple of months then its possible that could've been reached within the first few days.But as I said, there is probably a ton of other factors.So the question now is what happens next?I think the obvious answer is get some feedback and learn from my mistakes, this includes asking on forums and sending out a survey later today. The other answer is look at ways to try and get Frozen Skies funded somehow, I know there is interest as has been proven and I'm stubborn enough to keep trying to get the book out.So my options are as follows;*Crowdfund via Paypal; Great for people who didn't want to use Amazon and/or Kickstarter, but may end up being a slower method of raising the funds needed.*Try again with Kickstarter; I can get feedback and make a much better project, though my only concerns are how long do I wait before running it and whether my first project will count against me.*Seek Alternative Funding; Been keeping my options open and seeing what else is out there that can be useful, though I don't know if anything will come of it.So that is how things stand, thanks to everyone who has backed the project and I welcome any and all feedback you may have.</blockquote>
