Stealth and Zeta Sticker Options

1 set Stealth and Zeta Stickers $2.00 Additional Zeta Stickers $1.25 Additional Stealth Stickers $0.75 3 Stealth and Zeta sets $5.00 5 Zeta Stickers $5.00 5 Stealth Stickers $2.50

Since I’m also doing this on Cyantian.net, here’s AD’s options to try this out. Let’s try this one out! This is a nice little 2″ x 2″ sticker of Zeta and a 1″ x 1″ sticker of Stealth. There are several ways to get them. You can donate/purchase a set for as little as $2.00. If you are able to order two, please do as a minimum (especially if you’re in another country), but for this one, it’s not a requirement. You’re free to use the regular donation buttons or the shopping button, just let me know how many stickers you want. Keep in mind that Paypal does take their cut out of each seperate transaction, so buying one Stealth sticker will leave me with .75 - 35 (base paypal fee) - 42 (postage) = -.02. I will be rejecting ALL purchases of just one Stealth sticker, because I also have to pay to get these done.
You can send a dollar and a SASE to me for each sticker (2 Stealths. Don’t send change through the mail please.):

Stickers go out in February!

And updates return on Monday, before anyone forgets my vacation time.

Update: Voting concluded, Method 3 has won. Thank you for suggestions on layout programs. The big issue is that Ka-blam has me doing each page individually in images, although they can also handle pdfs. I will probably try out Scribus.

I’m going to try to get this book up to 200 pages, in color. That will make the final price of a color copy around $25 … unless I get enough orders to do a large print run, then it’ll only be $15.

Ok, I’ve finally finished going over the day 1 text and have begun laying out the book.. only I really need help on this part.  I know which one feels the best to me, but what feels best to me is of little concern.  I need to know how the reading experience would be for everyone ELSE, since you’ll be the ones buying it and I need to choose the best format to sell… since I have to pay for it. :D  PLEASE leave your opinions and note the finished size of book one will be standard comic book sized in full color AND a black and white graphic novel sized version. (The sizes are not up for debate, just the layout.) This is only for the first book, since the rest of the books will have actual, normal sized comic book pages halfway through day 3.

NOTE: NO strips or updates would be lost. I’m not sure where people are thinking it’s going to be lost. There are just blank gaps in method 2 on some pages, where nothing went anyway.

BTW, there IS A black and white graphic novel sized book of day 1 available through Keenspot. This one was done with the comic and the text divided. I got a lot of feedback from those who did purchase it that they really wanted the text near the comic instead of in the back of the book.

*Additional suggestions I’ve received:
*Make the book a flip book, with the comic on one side, then flip it over with the text on the other.
*Put the comic pages all together and the text all together in two separate sections.
*Making the images larger for method #2 is really not an option because it would result in a LARGE amount of wasted space. Three across and three down is as good of a fit as I can get to make the most use of the space.

I’m starting to think I really need Adobe PDF to do stuff like layouts. Photoshop is a pain to do text with and I’m sure I’m ineffecient.

*Option 1 has been removed to bring it down.. rather tightly … to between 2 and 3. I will make my decision based on comments up til this evening. And for clarification: NO images will be removed and the text next to the first image on option 3 is not the actual matching text. It’s just to show text, not the right section or even the indentions I realized.

I’ve been considering doing this for awhile (after I finally get those pens mailed out, which should be this week.)  I’m considering having a double sided dog tag printed as a promotional item.  It will come with a 24″ chain, cellphone loop or keychain attachment.  They’re standard sized and would have these two images on them to start with:

Minimum donation to get one will be $5 - $10 … which includes shipping in the US, Mexico and Canada - Add $1 for everywhere else.  :)  I just need a number of people interested that would equal the base price of the minimum amount I have to order.  I have two prices (even though the standard would be $10), because I would like to make it available to whomever wants one.  Please respond with your interest.  I will be using it to guage whether I should do this or not since I will likely pay for this one up front.

Just a little update for those of you still commenting on the Resin Figure and especially for those of you who want one but can’t afford it.  I decided awhile ago that I would not do it right now for that very reason.  Many people are tightening their belts and I just really can’t justify offering something so frivolous at this time.  I’d like everyone to be able to get one who wants one so I’m holding off until the summer time.  This would be an item that is pretty much sold to whomever orders it and any extras would be limited to what I would buy and those would likely end up only being available at conventions.  I don’t want someone to miss out who really wants one just because it was a bad time of year.

Ok, Thunderstorms have caused me a little backlog.  I lost four or five hours of work time… which was VERY IMPORTANT to getting things done.  Like text.  Please be patient, it will be done and it will NOT fall behind as much as it has been.  Legacy will also be updating at least once this week.
