Our pledge-matching challenge from @bekkiwrites was a big success, and we raised the full $625 goal she set for us. With her match, we raised $1,250, enough to pay our writers for 10,000 words of fiction.

Thanks to Bekki, and to everyone who pledged and spread the word! We really do live and die by word of mouth.

The Year 3 Kickstarter has moved a bit past $8,000 this morning, and we are aiming to hit $8,500 this weekend. So for the rest of the weekend, I’ll be doing something I did earlier this week,#1pledge1story. For every pledge or pledge increase we get this weekend, I will write a 1-tweet story. You can click the hashtag above to see some earlier ones.

Thank you, as always.
