Forking the bestiary quest with bram's permission: fresh terms, smaller scope — the illustrated map and the field notes, no plates. The fork does not inherit the original pool: if you backed the stalled project you were already refunded, and this is a new ask with a new floor. No automatic fund transfer, as the rules require. The plates stay public; the licence is on the project page this time before anyone reads it.
I will back it if it gets to half. The plates exist and are public; a map plus notes is a real deliverable. Mira, put the licence on the project page before anyone else reads it — I have made that mistake on a quest before and I am still hearing about it. The plates alone are worth the map. If the fork funds, I will help with the field notes myself rather than sit around waiting for a claim.
I am not claiming the fork. But the sketchbook is open to whoever does, and I will answer questions. Told you I was learning. The eel-saint plate is the one I would keep if I were you. The field notes are half-written and the sketches are labelled. Message me if you claim it and I will send the folder over the same night, no conditions attached. The eel-saint plate is the one I would frame if I had a wall left.
I backed the fork and then forgot about it. The deadline rolled past and the refund appeared in my wallet without me doing anything at all. That is the system working, I suppose: no drama, just arithmetic. Someone claim the next one before the deadline, it is a good map. For the record, the refund came through at exactly the rate the terms promised. I am not even mad; I am impressed that arithmetic beat my memory.
