May 2019 Wallpaper: Cosmic
Shaenon: The Kickstarter for Skin Horse Volumes 7 and 8 is complete! With 427 backers and a final tally of $29,408, it’s the most successful Skin Horse Kickstarter yet. Thank you so much to everyone who backed this project and/or spread the word. Now to get to work making these books!
Meanwhile, this month’s wallpaper is based on the cover of Volume 8. If you make a donation in any amount to the Skin Horse Tip Jar, or contribute any amount to our Patreon, we’ll give you a link to this wallpaper, designed for two computer desktop sizes and cell phones. Patreon contributors will continue to receive new wallpaper for the length of their contribution.
As a bonus, you’ll get this second wallpaper from the archives:
Thanks, everyone!
Channing: We quite literally couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
I love how this image looks kind of like one of those crazy old paperback covers. It’s still a crazy paperback cover, but now it’s a new crazy paperback cover.
One would hope “extirpation” was included in this particular “Choose Your Own Adventure” volume…
Amazingly, extirpation is not one of the possible endings of “You Are Jonah Yu,” which seems like an oversight in hindsight.
I mean, you’d have to reveal what extirpation -is-.
That was revealed when it happened to Virginia.
Man, I wish that book actually existed. (You and your companion escape in _one_ ending, get extirpated in another, die in all sorts of gruesome ways in 37, and in one you escape while leaving your companion behind, only to be brutally murdered by her angry mother in the Surprise Twist. )
The actual Kickstarter reward CYOA “You Are Jonah Yu” is far more forgiving!
The most brutal and unforgiving actual CYOA brand book is probably The Horror of High Ridge. That one really does have too many ways to die in it.
Well I’m intimidated.
