Today ends the funding cycle for Fortunes of the Space Sloth. Unfortunately we aren’t going to make it, at least not with this route.

I have been absent from Inkshares for a few weeks. Eventually I had to make a decision of continuing to work on this story (with a somewhat low chance of hitting 250 readers) or putting my efforts into a half million dollar research proposal (with a high chance of being funded). I went with the proposal and it looks like it will be funded. This will help support student researchers for several years so I can’t complain.

However, don’t get the impression that the civilian space vessel Space Sloth is going away. I have been working on some missing details and plot aspects. Readers are still reviewing chapters. I have every intention of getting the draft polished and published (somewhere).

I thank you for your support and the great experience this has been. When the Space Sloth docks at its new home I will make sure you all know.
