<p>The Post-Self cycle follows two&hellip;people as they navigate life as uploaded consciousnesses. The term &lsquo;people&rsquo; is complicated by the fact that individuals may create as many copies (&lsquo;instances&rsquo;) of themselves as they wish, and said copies can go on to lead their own lives or &lsquo;quit&rsquo; and merge back down to the original instance to share their memories. At the core of the series, the older uploads are struggling with the fact that the system they inhabit does not allow them to forget and, after a few centuries, the sheer amount of memory one is burdened with is a little crazy-making. Our audience surrogates, Ioan Bălan and eir long-running instance, Codrin Bălan, have been working with (and become romantically entangled with) various members of the Ode clade (a clade being a group of instances descended from one individual) on disentangling the various social, political, and technological ramifications of this problem.</p>
<p>The books have been well received, with folks enjoying the focus on identity and non-binary, ace/aro, furry, and plural representation. As a self-published series, sales are quite limited, with the books selling around 100 copies, though they are also made available to read for free in the browser. Given the small size of the audience and the complexities of working with POD, I&rsquo;d prefer to pay a higher flat fee rather than royalties, but that&rsquo;s definitely negotiable. I have $500 set aside per artist, though that&rsquo;s flexible. In addition, the backer tip jar is $1000, which will be divided evenly among the artists regardless of the base rate. (e.g: if there are 5 artists, each will get $300 in addition to the contracted rate).</p>

<p>The illustrations would be 1-2 full color, full page (5.5x8.5&rdquo; with 0.125&rdquo; bleed and 0.75&rdquo; inner margin) images. More information from the printer <a href="https://www.ingramspark.com/hubfs/downloads/file-creation-guide.pdf">here</a> under &ldquo;Color Text Quick Reference&rdquo;. As they will be available as e-books to be read on e-readers, some consideration should be made to how they&rsquo;ll look in black and white. In an ideal world, I&rsquo;d like the illustrations completed by December 1, 2022 for a January 2023 publication date, but backers have been informed that this stretch goal might affect rerelease dates for the first three books, so having the illustrations in hand by February 15, 2023 is an option.</p>
