Phil can call me off if I'm speaking out of turn, but it's not necessarily that deep. Yes, the first issue needs some draw. But it also needs to come out on time. Sometimes "proven author" simply means "sticks to word count, makes deadlines." The first issue out of the gate isn't the time to find out that someone can't hit a deadline with a bazooka, or just winged it on the lore.

mutually reinforcing. "experienced writers you've heard of and like their work" probably correlates well with "quality output that shows up on time and isn't a chore to edit" (you don't have george rr martin on staff to throw off the averages)

also being able to trumpet NEW STACKPOLE NOVEL is a good anchor for the first year

Yep. I would have read issues 1 and 2 just because I got them for "free" in the Kickstarter. I'll buy issues 3 and 4 because I want to read the rest of the Kell Hounds story. By the time I'm through issue 4 it's quite likely that I'll have decided to subscribe because I like what I'm seeing. This plan, it's a good one.

So it’s day two and no email.  Is this a CrowdOx issue?  I’m frustrated because I was really looking forward to Shrapnel.

Best,

Mad

Well, my first Kickstarter backed account (GALAXY COMMANDER) received the email 2 days ago, my second account for my Late backed STAR COLONEL level received the email last night, so it is staggered emails.

Other than that, I don;t know what more to say on the matter.

***NOTE*** These are also TWO separate email accounts.

I think its more tied, since its CrowdOx to when you finalized your rewards.  Early backer & Star Colonel . . . but I waited several months before locking my stuff in.  And we need a new thread!

Two things:

1: There doesn't seem to be any correlation whatsoever between pledge level and email priority, otherwise I wouldn't have mine yet.

2: This is a Kickstarter. Two days is practically Planck Time as far as these are concerned. I wouldn't worry about anything until it's been at least a month.

Also, don't forget to check your spam/junk folders on your email server...I bet there is more than one person that gets this email arrested and detained by the ISP filter police...
