“be a space marine” update.

Posted on by Marko Kloos

Thanks again to all of you who donated to the Semper Fi Fund to get a slot in a Spaceborne Infantry squad in Frontlines #4. I’m happy to report that I managed to slot everybody who made a donation into a squad position in the Ass-Kicker Platoon featured in Frontlines #4, CHAINS OF COMMAND.  (In addition to your name popping up in the storyline, I am also including a full roster of Andrew’s platoon in the appendices, so you’ll be able to find yourself there with rank and name.)

That was a fun little thing that managed to raise over $1,200 for a good cause. I’ll probably do something like that again in the future.

Emails regarding the Space Marine naming rights will go out today. I meant to send them yesterday, but the Wandering Pestilence visited Castle Frostbite early yesterday morning. One of the kids started barfing at 4am, and it all went downhill from there. All four of us were laid up with one of those nasty 24-hour bugs that make you nauseated and fatigued, so I didn’t have the energy to spend much time in front of a computer last night. Just getting a bucket of warm water out to the chickens had me worn out afterwards.

Today’s all better. kids are back in school, and I’m back to the usual routine, so expect emails later today. Thanks again for participating!

the “be a space marine” charity tally.

You crazy kids wasted no time claiming the naming rights to the Formerly Anonymous Squad in the Bad-Ass Platoon of Badassitude. We ran over the count a wee bit, but I’ll make some space on the platoon roster because you shouldn’t be penalized for my lack of orderly system when it comes to tallying contest entries.

Together, you have donated a total of $630 to the Semper Fi Fund today. I will match the donated total, so this little naming rights sales bonanza raised $1,260 for a worthy charity in the space of just two hours. Not bad, ya misfits…not bad at all.

I’ll send out individual emails to confirm name choices tomorrow FOR SURE. Until then, pat yourselves on the back, and imagine the wonderful ways in which you will earn glory, get blown to stardust, or possibly both, once I get to writing you into CHAINS OF COMMAND. DISMISSED, you knuckledraggers.
