Exciting news about our Kickstarter campaign to fund the publishing of Aim For The Heart: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Alexandre Dumas’s “The Three Musketeers” – we’ve been selected as a #ProjectWeLove!
This means that all three of our anthology campaigns on Kickstarter have earned this distinction, and we’re really proud of our track record in this regard. Being a Project We Love means a lot more people will see our hard work ’cause we’ll be prioritized in search results, so it’s really great news for our campaign going forward.
We’re also 69% funded. 😀 😀 😀 😀
And now for today’s teaser…J. D. Rivers graces us with an original story inspired by The Three Musketeers!
