Latest Updates from Our Project:

Update on SfSx futures!
about 2 years ago – Fri, Oct 21, 2022 at 09:59:17 PM

Hey there dearest Terms of Service backers!

I wanted to drop you a line as we head towards the end of a truly wild year on planet Earth. 

This campaign is now closed. It was my first time running a crowdfunding project, and suffice to say I learned a lot. MASSIVE THANK YOUS to everyone who was supportive, patient, and compassionate with me and the team! And now...

The Future!

Several sweet folks have asked about the future of SfSx. Well, as you all experienced, publishing a book through Image is a heavy lift in terms of both labor and financing. I have a lot of people I want to work with again and a lot of ideas for volume three (schlocky mad scientist vibes, the answer to the question "what does the religious right think safe sex actually looks like?" and a closure to a trilogy, for now at least...) But I think it might have to simmer on the back burner while I work on a couple of things that are helping me make ends meet right now, including...

  • My major literary nonfiction book deal! It's the book version of my long running indie podcast Why Are People Into That?!— which I also plan on bringing back in 2023.
  • An unannounced graphic novel project with the incredible Lisa Sterle. I'll give you a little hint: it's about detectives and cults. Stay tuned for more!

Ok, a couple more things before I go:

  • If you're not already, please consider subscribing to my newsletter. It's an average of once a month updates, mostly on events like my online workshops on topics like BDSM, SW, fantasy, horror, queerness... you know, the same stuff as SfSx, but for your real life! I'm also on IG and Twitter sometimes. 
  • Just in case you needed more copies of SfSx books, posters, and other merch for your holiday shopping or that special perv in your life, I've got a webstore now!
  • I'm finally making it back to conventions and other in the flesh appearances. Check out some cute pics below from Flame Con and SDCC!

Ok, keep in touch and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Campaign closing this Friday June 3rd!
over 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 02, 2022 at 11:28:13 AM

Hey everyone, just a reminder! I'm extending the deadline to this Friday:

You have until June 3rd to fill out your survey and claim your rewards for this campaign! 

Surveys and fulfillment will close on June 3rd!

If you don't complete your survey by June 3rd, your pledge will be considered a donation to the project and you will officially forgo your rewards!

(Obviously, if you fill out your survey by EOD Friday, your reward will be fulfilled even after the campaign is closed.)

Thank you so much for your support! I'll be sending a recap of the campaign and some thoughts on the future soon.

xoxo

Have you filled out your survey? You have until June 1st!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 18, 2022 at 02:05:49 PM

Hey everyone,

I hope you're enjoying all of your books and other rewards. I'd love to hear from you here and on social media about your favorite parts of Terms of Service, where you've hung your posters, etc. 

If by chance you're reading this and you're one of the 50 people who have not yet filled out your survey, you have until June 1st to do so! (If you have filled out your survey and gotten your rewards, keep scrolling, there's a cute polaroid at the end of this update!)

Surveys and fulfillment will close on June 1st! 

I can't send your rewards without your shipping address, and in order to get your shipping address I need you to fill out your survey! If you need help finding your survey, message me here or email me: tinahornshowbiz at gmail.

If you don't complete your survey by June 1st, your pledge will be considered a donation to the project and you forgo your rewards! 

Regardless of whether you receive rewards or not, I'm grateful for your support, which made this book possible!

Some time in the next few weeks I think I'm going to launch a big sale on the remaining inventory White Squirrel has after fulfilling rewards for over seven hundred backers! Watch this space, and my Twitter and IG, for that sale on the Backerkit store. 

I'm enjoying early Spring in Los Angeles, working on an exciting new piece of detective fiction, a literary non-fiction book proposal, a podcast about SWer news, and... trying to find that sweet work-life balance.

TTYS!

Shipping Update! Skylight! Spectrum!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 01, 2022 at 07:16:28 AM

Hey party people! I've got all kinds of good news for ya!

White Squirrel is back in full stock, which means if you've filled out your survey, your rewards are in the actual mail to you as we speak!

Do you want to hear the saga of the money wire delays and Diamond invoices and warehouse mix-ups and shipping slogs? Suffice it to say I never realized how many different elements would require coordination for fulfillment, and how many delays that could cause. I know some of you have some but not all of your rewards, and some are still waiting on your first shipment. But they're really and truly en route to you now!

If you're reading this and you haven't filled out your survey, you need to get on that if you want your swag!

If you don't know how to fill out your survey, message me on here (or email tinahornshowbiz at gmail dot com) and I'll send you a personalized link.

Please keep posting here and on social media when you get your books and prints and pins. There's been so much going on that I haven't even really asked ya'll what you think of this project you made possible?!

AND NOW! Here's some supplemental material to enjoy while you stare at your snail mailbox waiting for it to be filled!

If you're in LA, come out on Feb 13th (the same day as the superb owl, yes) to a socially distanced but in the flesh event with queen Katie Skelly at Skylight Books!

I went on the Holly Randall Unfiltered show to talk about SfSx as well as YAPIT and Operator. Really fun sexy talk with this industry legend!

G Romero-Johnson and I did an awesome commentary on a few pages from ToS for Spectrum Journal.  Either a great teaser or something fun to check out after you finish reading the book!

In other news, Laurenn McCubbin and I are ALMOST DONE with the push goal e-zine! Here's a work in progress preview so you know it's the real deal. 

Ok that's it for now! TTYS!
