LESSONS FROM LIFE, 3 GODS ACQUIRED, THE PHANTOM PUBLISHER Pagazine Issue #011
A weekly issue of what the Paganini Stories crew has been up to!
Welcome back, Paga-peeps!
It’s been an extra week than our normal check-in, but since we had a lot going on last time, we needed some spare time to ensure we made our deadlines. For this week, we’ve got the following updates for ya — we’ve got more Fractured Realms including how the project is doing so far and a sneak peek at our submitted script, we’ve got our own Gods Kickstarter and how it is picking up steam, we’ve got a request from y’all for some help, and we’ve got some new eyes from the publishing realm. So, in general, a pretty solid past couple of weeks! Let’s dig in!
FRACTURED REALMS
So, as I am writing this there is 11 days left to go of the Kickstarter. Here is a drop of the specs:
All in all, pretty good! I’m pretty confident we will hit our goal. If you haven’t backed it yet, the digital version is only 5 euros and you get to see Ben and I’s kickass comic. Click the link below and get crackin’!
Fractured Realms Kickstarter
We had a deadline for the script by the 15th of March. I had a story outlined already so it was more or less putting it together in Panel format and fleshing it out. All in all, I feel pretty good about it, but I’ll let you be the judge of your own taste by checking out the beginning snippet here:
Just a taste, that’s all! If you would like to read the full script, I’ll have in down below for the paid subscribers. Join us and become one of us!
The script has been signed, sealed, and delivered to the fellas at Limit Break Comics for a round of feedback. I’m looking forward to hearing about it and making the necessary adjustments.
In the meantime, we are preparing our timeline for when Ben can get the space and time to whip it up — the deadline is June 18th!
DEATH AND ALL ITS FRIENDS
No new updates here, check back in next week!
GODS: UNTOLD KICKSTARTER
Another couple of weeks and a bunch of progress has been made. We are mainly getting our ducks in a row to kick this thing off, and seeing as it is our first time we want to mitigate as much risk as possible by doing two things — front loading with creators and consulting experts. Sometimes those are these same people!
So far, we have nailed down 3 creators with 3 more pending to join the project — some of which you may already know and will be very excited to read stories from. No cats out of bags yet, saving those hot drops for another day!
However, we are also in contact with a very successful campaign manager (who has done quite some damage with their most recent campaign) to consult on our process and in general help us along the way. We have set a meeting with them this week and we will know much more about all of that soon enough! Stay tuned for the outcome next week!
Last, but not least, we are looking for some help. Once the campaign is taking off, we are looking for someone to help be our social media marketer — handling our socials, making posts, trying out strategy, to take our Instagram, Substack, and Kickstarter to the next level. If you think that is you, drop us a comment or reach out directly!!
Publishers
Some new updates here! It’s a short and sweet update, but interesting to us nonetheless. A publisher has reached out to us recently about working together on some new IP, existing IP, or publishing finished works we have already done! We’ve kicked off the conversation and will see where this leads. It’s quite fresh, but also very exciting!
On Our Radar - W0RLDTR33 #1 and THE SANDMAN UNIVERSE: NIGHTMARE COUNTRY: THE GLASS HOUSE #1
The great
is closing in on the final order cut-off for the aforementioned comics. They're shaping up quite nicely and we can't wait to get our hands on them. If you are a fan of James' work then I can recommend heading on over to his substack and getting a sneak peek at W0RLDTR33's prologue, free to download!Well, that’s it for the week! Thanks for stopping by and we will see you next time! And if you are a paid subscriber, check out the full script below (and if you’re not, just hit the subscribe button to join!)
Love,
Ben, Carmen, and Kyle
