It might be dead in here but look at the numbers. I was just going through the old Kickstarters. The first one had a $9,800 goal and ended funded with $43,383, 1,275 people backed it. The second one had a $25,000 goal and ended with $74,007 from 1,678 people. And the last one had a $50,000 goal and ended funded with $73,365 across 1,656 people.
That's an average of $34 per person for book one, $44 for book two, and $44 again for book three. For this printing, we're sitting at $64,377 across only 928 backers so far, fully pledged with an excess of $24,377 before the first day is even over. That's an average of $69 per person. If we have a similar number of backers to the last two Kickstarters, Ashley can expect the Kickstarter to end with ~$113k. Given how fast this is filling I wouldn't be shocked if it's more because of the momentum creating more exposure. The fact there's a publisher with a potentially interested audience will help too. Just because people can't be bothered to post, or aren't on /co/ tonight, doesn't mean they aren't taking notice.

I'm guessing that between ~11:50 EST and tomorrow evening the Kickstarter jumps at least another $10-12k. And yeah, unless people have been reading the Patreon posts or signed up for the notification it's been pretty hush hush that the Kickstarter was launching today. There will definitely be more discussion in tonight's thread.
