Common Bonds 3 - An Anthology of Aromantic SFF

We did it! We hit $10,000 in funds raised for Common Bonds 3. That puts us at ~83% funded. We are SO SO close to the actually funded mark!

And that, really, would be the entire update, but since I'm here, I thought I'd highlight the two bundles we have of books from other aromantic authors. These two babies:
 


Partly, I made little images that share what I loved about all of those 8 books! Since these lovely authors accepted to be a part of the campaign, I want to make sure you all get to see their amazing work <3 After all, it's never a bad time to celebrate queer books, but in the middle of Pride Month is the best of times.

From the first bundle, of authors that were in previous Common Bonds:

From our second bundle, of other aro indie authors:

All I can promise is that we made sure you'd get your money's worth with these bundles. These are great books, all very different from each other, and I hope you'll enjoy them if you grab the add on!

But regardless, thank you all for the support and hype. Now let's get to $12,000!

A big Happy Pride Month to all of my fellow queers!

We had a tremendous start of the campaign in those last few days of May, crossing the 50% mark over the weekend. Which means we have a whole month--the best, queerest of months--to raise the rest of it! And we're making good headway on it!

As of right now, we are sitting just shy of $7000! I thought I would leave you with this meme that so deeply encompass what this anthology is.



Thank you for helping us come up with all kinds of platonic explanations :D

The first day of any crowdfunding is always a blur of warmth and hype.

In the 24 hours since launching Common Bonds 3, we've gathered a third of the funds across over 100 people. It remains kind of stunning to cross that first 100, to think of how many very real people that is, and how the number keeps growing!

But we have a long way to go still to bring this beautiful anthology into reality. We'll be taking most of the campaign to introduce the incredibly cool add ons we have as well as the full set of stories and poems included within. If you see us out and about posting throughout the month, please consider boosting! Word of mouth is our one true weapon, and these anthologies would not be possible without community support. 

Thank you all, for everything you've done so far, and everything I know you will be doing in the coming month.  Long way or not, I know we can do this.
