My payment for E:D took an hour and a half after the close of the KS to be processed. And the one for Drew's book took half an hour.

Absolutely - many congratulations, Drew! And it's good to see Gollancz/Orion trailing along in your wake, too. So ... how many words so far? :D (That would be an interesting idea: a word-count tracker along the same lines as the Kickstarter money tracker ... not that there's any pressure, of course! Just remember to breathe now and then. ;))

I will be doing a word count track I think. Not difficult nowadays! :)

I think LibreOffice shows the word count in the bottom bar at all times nowadays... :)

Although I don't think it such a useful information - word count tends to drop/increase upon rewrites and further drafts. The end result could be shorter or longer than the original version.

Mobius, on the frontier forum, has a created a rather natty backers image for your signature if you're so inclined. Feel free to link to this if you wish (plenty of bandwidth my end).

Alas, this is true for me concernig Elite : Reclamation, and more so because of lack of funds before onset of 2013.

EDIT:
Any way to make a late pledge, just to support the cause?
D'uh, PayPal pledges still accepted, done that now.
...and keep it under lightspeed!

Nice location... almost makes me wish I had a writer's pack too!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
