Everything's Different, Everything's Changed

Got a brand-new song up today, but you can't get it from me. Nope.

You've gotta be a patron of the online comic Accidental Centaurs.

See, John P. Lotshaw asked me to write his strip a theme song. It was way fun. I sing Alex, the lovely Karen Underwood lends her vocals to Sam, and I've got a Les Paul soundfont in there that kicks out the walls.

So, check it out. And, not incidentally, hook yourself up with a fantasy epic in the making.

Eep.

First, linking me to a webcomic is really not fair, for purposes of my reading list.

Second, even if I get hooked on the comic, I'm reluctant to shell out $50 when it's likely I won't take advantage of the other parts of the patronage deal. I don't suppose there's a way I can pay you and/or Lotshaw a smaller fee for the song, a la carte?

Ummm, no, sorry. The entire point of the exercise is to build his readership and get him more donations with perqs like this. He commissioned me (i.e, paid) to write his song, and it's all his. I do have distribution rights in the future, but it'll be awhile.

Ah, well, you can't have everything. Maybe I'll go in for a patronage anyways--I'll see how the comic looks in color; if it's sufficiently improved--and it well might be, he said after spending most of his lunch break reading--that $50 gets cut down to a few bucks a month for a color comic, and the song is a bonus.
