I have more art in the works for both the campaign and the interior of the novel itself- it's going to look great in print.

The Kickstarter is live now- check it out! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kafelnikov/the-wayward-astronomer-a-dreamkeepers-story

Faction Contest: Honorary Awards
After reviewing the devastation within the #Dreamkeepers Faction contest, it is my great privilege to present to you, fine ladies and gentlemen:
Rarely does a fandom come together in such a celebration of culture, elegance, and achievement. Let us raise our champagne glasses together, and toast these intrepid meme warriors:
Best Diss of an opposing faction:@Midnight_Blaze cookware
Best Comeback: Nightmares don't die @Mr_Millstone
Best use of a Meme: @Mr_Millstone Hillary & Bernie
Most original new Meme: @James Shock Trooper Drones
Most Frantic: @PizzaSkunk "Fuck That Shit"
Most Retweeted post in #Dreamkeepers: @VoidSlice #Nightmare betrayal
Most 'Liked' post in #Dreamkeepers: @JohnDeadmen #CCA for Victory
Most Audacious Infiltration of a comment area: Orange Corn in Entertainment Weekly. http://www.ew.com/article/2016/02/13/deadpool-review-betty-white
And last, but most certainly not least:
Most Epic Fail: #TEAMGRUNN
I can think of nothing more failed, and more epic, than the entire Team Grunn Faction. The entire faction is awarded Most Epic Fail.
Remember, only posts for losing Factions could be considered for Honrary Awards. Thanks again to everyone for a ludicrously fun contest, and thanks to the elites who helped boost the ensuing Operation Sidewinder to 90,000 impressions and 5,000 engagements!
Good times- with more to come.
Next up, we'll be announcing the launch of a new Kickstarter. Our very own Kafelnikov, leader of the DA Dreamkeepers Group, is crowdfunding the production of the first Dreamkepers print novel- Wayward

What A Twist
When I first had the inkling for a Faction Contest, I had no clue what might happen. Would it be fun? Boring? Would anyone even participate?
Well, holy shit.
Blazing, unhinged chaos.
We made such a mess on twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Dreamkeepers&src=tyah
Memes, taunts, and even artwork culminated in the day of reckoning yesterday, when only one Faction could emerge victorious:
Troika.
They crushed it.
It came as a twist to me- I was actually expecting the insurgent reader-created #TeamGrunn faction to win. But in the end, following Grunn proved to be a drunken, fun, unhinged ticket to failure. ...Which somehow seems entirely appropriate, now that I think about it.
Time to send free books to everyone in the Troika faction!
But valiant- and hilarious- efforts were made for the competing Factions, and all of those participants are now eligible for Honorary Awards. http://dreamkeepers.deviantart.com/journal/FACTION-CONTEST-586566028
If you posted something that you think qualifies, send me a screenshot! Dreamkeeperscomic(at)gmail.com
I'll announce Honorary Awards on Monday, after- this weekend.
This weekend, when our ulterior motives underpinning the entire contest are revealed. http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/forum/?t=711
What purpose could we have in filling the #Dreamkeepers hashtag with content?
With training readers in hashtag warfare?
Right before the theatrical release of Zootopia?
