"I had no idea that this far into my comic’s lifespan, I would have an opportunity to reach a new height of exposure like this, but it still ultimately comes down to the fact that I’ve been doing this for so long. I don’t update as consistently as some webcomics, my art isn’t as polished, but I’ve still churned out over a thousand pages in a single story.
Apart from that, I would say that the best thing is to have a way of marketing yourself away from the Kickstarter site… Because Kickstarter is only a tool that helps you collect money, it’s not an end unto itself. You need to identify who the potential backer for your project is before you start, and if you can’t do that, it’s probably not going to succeed."

…my email inbox is a swirling eldritch nightmare that threatens to burst the fragile digital bonds that restrain it from devouring me in my sleep. Other than that, though, it’s all going very well.
