There are only 10 days remaining until the end of the Kickstarter campaign for Moderately Important Fables. I don’t know about you, but the anticipation is killing me! This is worse than that time that we had to wait all summer to find out who shot J.R. on Dallas.

(Spoiler: It was Maggie Simpson.)

I’ve received a lot of questions about Moderately Important Fables during the past few weeks, so I’ve decided to answer every single one of them with the attached video. Please enjoy.

A Year-Long Fundgiving Marathon:

Here’s another flattering review of the Kickstarter campaign for Moderately Important Fables.

Moderately Important Fables is a refreshed take on the classic fable form. With stories like “The Penguin Who Was Kind of a Prick”, and “The Dust Mite Who Regretted Getting a Tattoo”, author Ryan Shattuck is bringing meaningful morals to an age that might not pay attention to jays and peacocks.

Okay. You drew me in with your promises of tales of animals in compromising situations. Where will I be able to buy this book?

Hurray! Moderately Important Fables isn’t coming out until August, but I’m raising money on Kickstarter to publish the book. Simply visit Moderately Important Fables on Kickstarter, and feel free to donate a few dollars. Anyone who donates at least $25 will receive a free copy of the book.
