Broken Mirrors was a free, serialized online novel about sorcerer Marla Mason by T.A. Pratt, supported by donations from readers.
Since the serial is done, I'm no longer giving prizes for donations. (Feel free to give me money... you just won't get goodies!) I'll send out all fundraiser prizes by year's end (most should go out much sooner than that, I hope).
For historical interest, prizes were:
Below $10: My heartfelt thanks, because it really does add up.
$10 and up: Your name in the acknowledgments of the print version and online.
$20 and up: A Marla Mason bookmark.
$40 and up ($50 and up overseas): A signed limited edition chapbook featuring a new Marla Mason story.
$60 and up ($70 and up overseas): A free, signed print copy of Broken Mirrors as soon as it's available from Merry Blacksmith Press.
$100 and up ($110 and up overseas): A personal handwritten postcard from Marla to you. May contain light profanity and bad doodles.
$200 and up: A single-page Marla comic by Justin Pierce, suitable for framing.
$300 and up: I name a character -- or spell, or aircraft, or something else in the book -- after you, or use a name we mutually agree upon. It's a great gift: immortalize your loved ones! Or yourself.
$400 and up: A poster of the cover art from your choice from Blood Engines, Poison Sleep, and Dead Reign, signed by artist Daniel Dos Santos.
$600 and up: A giclee print of the cover art from your choice of Blood Engines, Poison Sleep, or Dead Reign, signed by artist Daniel Dos Santos.
$2000 and up: I'll write a Marla Mason short story just for you, to be produced in a signed chapbook limited edition of a single copy.
$5,000 and up: I'll dedicate Broken Mirrors to you.
$10,000 and up: I'll hand-deliver a print copy to your door and make you a nice dinner at a time of our mutual agreement, and do a reading for you and your friends. (Destinations outside the US may require additional airfare. Query if you live in Australia or Europe or something and you're interested and we'll figure it out.)
Amounts are cumulative, so if you do many small donations, you get rewards based on the total you donated during the months the book is being posted.
The serial will begin on the morning of March 8, 2010. I’ll post a new chapter each week until the book is done (probably 20-25 chapters). Then the book will appear in print form, various e-book formats (Kindle, PDF, probably others) for those who prefer the all-at-once experience.

I am so excited for this, I nearly cried for joy when I heard that you would be continuing their story- and I’m so glad that I’ll be able to find out what happens with Rondeau. Poor Rondeau.

Sooooo excited for Monday. I just finished Spell Games this week, went to check your website for when the next book would be out, and I think every co-worker in the building heard me howl when I saw the Bad News.
The fact that not only is the series still alive and well but will also begin posting this month is the best news I could have wished. XD

You are brilliant, Tim.

Oh dear … I’m very sad that they chose to cut this series. There is a lot of very bad (or at best, mediocre) urban fantasy being published right now and this series was so much better than that stuff! I’m not sure if I’ll read the serial or not yet (oh the WAITING) but I will buy the kindle book as soon as it is published regardless.
