#stariel

Let's start with the special editions!:

The Kickstarter for the special editions featuring art, beautiful reversible dust jackets, and more, is now only less than 600$ away from the goal with a little less than a month left to go! Donate if you can! We're so close to getting these beautiful editions! (If I had a job, I'd push the project over the edge myself! Unfortunately, I am seventeen and unemployed)

A vauge promise of an announcement:

In a recent email of her newsletter, Lancaster compares writing to gardening, how seeds spend so long in the soil, then sprout up and all of a sudden grow like crazy. In this she says she doesn't like to say much about her works in progress until they've "sprouted into the sunlight and grown a few leaves" and continues to say that her current project is "about an inch below soil level" below the "weeds of distraction" being the delightfully successful Kickstarter ("delightfully" being my words here, in part because this information came before the Kickstarter went live). Surely, this means we're getting news soon, should Lancaster's current project bloom in good time! Is it something in the world of Stariel, such as what has been alluded to on her website? Or perhaps the next installment of Fae & Firstborns? Maybe it's something entirely new! We just have to wait and see! (Sigh, waiting.) If you don't hear it from the newsletter directly, then you'll surely hear it from me!

(bonus parenthetical on the special editions: Kickstarter doesn't say when the project first went live, but I think it's only been up for like two days? either that or a week and that's still crazy! If we keep going at this rate, we'll certainly reach the stretch goals! Patterned edges, a bonus scene, and ribbon bookmarks? I'd kill for those!)
