Launch day is especially scary because the faster you fund the better you do in the Kickstarter algorithms ... it's a whole snowball effect thing.

So ... fingers-crossed! 🤞

but also I need to go hide or I will spend all day refreshing the page and fretting and that's no way to exist

I'm absolutely delighted that THE BEAUTIFUL DECAY is now a Kickstarter Project We Love on the first day!

It's already almost 70% funded and I'm feeling really excited and hopeful about it.

Thanks so much to everyone sharing and supporting it. 💙 Fingers-crossed it keeps going well!

@vicorva oh wow

@skysailor it should get better visibility on kickstarter now so I'm really hoping it funds!

@vicorva @skysailor Its's obviously gonna fund, it's just a question of how many stretch goals we reach! 😊

@vicorva Omg, now I'm worrying that I'll miss out on something if I don't pledge before it hits 100% 😭
Why is fomo-brain a thing.

Anyways, just in bed now, will do it at desktop tomorrow morning.
💜
I'm so happy you got so far today already!

@maloki there's nothing to miss out on and I don't think it's likely to fund before tomorrow anyway 💙 no fomo to be had

@vicorva congrats!! well-deserved. you put so much thought and generosity into everything you make. 💚🥰

@vicorva
I am trying to find a way to proceed, but I do not have a credit card and my bank does not allow me to get one.
(And credit card is the only payment option that Kickstarter provides... Well, okay, they say that debit cards work too, but my standard payment card does not work...)

@storydragon I'm afraid I don't have any alternatives. Thank you for trying though!

@vicorva
I am now trying to get a credit card with another bank, that does not require you to have an account with them already.
I hope that it will work.

@storydragon please don't go to trouble on my account! I am sure there will be more accessible ways to get the books once they publish.

@vicorva
Yeah, I know.
I just really want to support the kickstarter. (Which is my own choice.)

And a credit card can be useful sometimes anyway. 👼

@vicorva sounds intriguing

@missnfranchised thanks! I certainly hope so. 😅

@vicorva hell yeah! Really liked the first (pet zombie Larry is still hilarious, he's just a little guy!) and looking forward to see what happens in this one :D

@Vhalesa it makes me so happy when someone likes Wandering Larry :D

@vicorva I don't have the budget to send much right now, but I put in a symbolic £1 to bring it up to £600.

@Querral that is extremely appreciated, thank you

maloki 🍍

@vicorva I'm so freaking excited. 😍😍😍😍

@maloki

@vicorva Both Usther and her cat are *so much* prettier than I pictured them! 💜

@rowyn aren't they gorgeous! :D

Usther and Ree both suffer from each other's perspectives XD Especially Usther!

@vicorva I feel like Usther comes across as way more cool and powerful from Ree's perspective, and likewise Ree is a total badass from Usther's perspective and it is *amazing*

@rowyn

@vicorva And also they both think the other is way more aloof than they think of themselves. I really like the way Familiar & Flame shows this aspect of their relationship. 💜

Cobalt

@vicorva FUNGAL BODY HORROR my god you truly do know what the people want

@cobalt 😂 I'm glad you think so!

FiXato Mar 22, 2023

@vicorva unfortunately personal circumstances make it difficult for me to back your Kickstarter this time, but I'll boost the heck out of it regardless. :D

Looking forward to seeing it fully funded ASAP! So happy for you to see it do so well already!

(btw, on https://veocorva.xyz/books/the-beautiful-decay-by-veo-corva/ it still says "Coming soon to Kickstarter" just above the "Live now on Kickstarter!” link 😅)

@FiXato ahhh ... you can tell how frazzled I am today XD

completely understand and I really appreciate you boosting it!

@vicorva
Your kickstarter has again the "Project We Love" label!

@storydragon omg what?! *checks* AAAH! Ty for letting me know!

@vicorva I suddenly saw it when reloading the page once again. (Which I do quite often, while waiting on the email to arrive for me being able to verify my identity for a credit card.)
