GULA + Other Works by Elliott Dunstan

Hello everyone! It is PUBLICATION DAY! I'm so excited to get this baby out into the world.

Sadly, today is only publishing day for the e-book, but it won't be long before the paperbacks are ready, so keep your eyes peeled! Nevertheless, the e-books ARE ready. If you've finished your survey, you'll have gotten a final notice that orders are being locked; once they're locked, then the GULA e-book and Revenant's Hymn e-book will distribute. The e-book trio needs another day or two, but I'm optimistically hoping to have it up and ready tomorrow evening. (For those who are curious: The delay is largely in creating an accessible version of Carrion City. So it's all just finicky stuff.) Your e-book distributions will include pdf, mobi and epub of each book, and GULA will not be going up on regular platforms until all digital distributions are finished. 

If you have NOT YET FINISHED THE SURVEY. Please do so! That's important! If you could swear you've done the survey but you're still getting reminders, double-check; if you're still having trouble, submit a request to BackerKit and they'll get it all ironed out for you. 

Finally, I'll be taking care of prints and jewellery in the following week. (So really, do, pretty please place any last orders.) Thanks so much, everyone! 

Hello all! The time is nearly here -- the books are off to the printer and the digital downloads are almost ready! Launch date is March 15th!

With that in mind, a few housekeeping notes: There are 8 people left who haven't filled out their surveys. Please do so as soon as possible! If you can't find it or are having trouble finding BackerKit communications, check your spam -- BK communications have been getting sorted into there for a lot of people. Everything will be locked on the 15th.

Keep your eyes open for some extra fun updates in the next few days! 

Hello everyone! $324 CAD has been donated to UNRWA -- I put it off for a bit for a number of reasons, but February is also a slow month for donations overall so I'm a little glad I did. Plus, a lot of resources right now are going towards Minneapolis, which is far from a bad thing, but does mean that Gaza and Palestine as a whole are seeing fewer donations, so our funds are coming at what I suspect is a very good time. 

Surveys are going well with a 77% completion rate. If you are one of the 17 people who has NOT yet filled out your survey, please do so! It gives me crucial information such as shipping address, confirming your add-ons and offering a few additional bonus items. I want to have them all done before the end of the month and I will start hounding you personally in a week or two.

Thanks all! Stay safe, and I'll keep you updated as we roll into production. 

Hello folks! Smoke tests for the survey have been sent out -- please double check your email inboxes (including spam) to check if you're one of the lucky few to have gotten yours. Once the smoke test is done, I'll be able to send out all the surveys and get that taken care of.

Where we're at: Edits for the Revenant's Hymn special edition are almost done, as are the ones for the Singularity. Carrion City will be getting a small update, as will Post-Traumatic Anatomy; the essay for GULA is almost done and I'm just finishing up citations.

I'm also trying to get my SubscribeStar set up this month! So if you're interested in seeing my work on an ongoing basis, I post my essays, reviews, and other articles early here for subscribers, and on my website for everyone.

Some schedule updates: Publication date is now moving to mid-March, with preorders opening for everyone outside of the campaign on Feb 15th. Please keep that in mind and fill out your surveys promptly once you receive them!

Happy New Year everyone! Sorry about the radio silence -- everything hit the ground running this year except my body which went splat. If you're in the US, especially Minnesota, please stay safe. 

Surveys will be going out soon! The result of the poll was that a chunk of the fully-raised amount will be donated to UNRWA (rather than per-tier) and I'll be doing that in the next few days.

I'm also doing some fundraising efforts for the lovely Juniper @coffinfairy on Bsky. Juniper fundraises on a rolling basis to keep her heat and water on, her rent paid and her kids fed; it's tough right now for a single mom and anybody who donates more than $5 gets an e-book of GULA. Obviously you folks are all set on that front - but if there's anyone who missed out and maybe wants to do some good, let them know!
