Which "link to you left" and what "similar support" does he lack? I'm missing something here, and it sounds important.

On the left under Teege's name is a series of little icons.  One of them is a globe, which if you click on it, you will be taken to a Chip-In site where all is explained.

With the Humble Bundle, is it possible for a contributor to sign in and increase their contribution (and thus move up/reclaim a spot on the leader board)?

yes it is, this is how ours is going, we're at $43 last I updated, I'll do another update here pretty soon.

Also folks, if you chip in, and within ~24 hours don't get the link either emailed to you or PM'd to you, PM me.

Just chipped in.  I was gonna get them anyway, but when you guys decided to do this I waited till you started the chipin.  Larry really wants that Gaiman graphic novel and Cory's book and he loves John Scalzi.

I'm about a third down Invasion. What does it say about me when half of my attention is divided between categorizing the characters into CoH archetypes and catching the odd typo?

Zolgar

This is a good problem to have. The contributions got high enough that I can no longer afford to eat the ChipIn fee (miniscule, at $150 in contributions, we're at $144 :))

We're now at #8 on the board, not bad, not bad at all.
I'll email everyone the link when I get off work, I'm already late for work as it is. >.>

I just chipped in.

Zolgar, PM me if you want some help with the ChipIn fee.

If you want to toss money to offset the ChipIn fees, that's awesome. If not, that's cool too. Like I said, I can just run it at whatever the total is after the ChipIn fees (which is why we are at $144 from $150 in donations.)

As an update, once I get home from work to update the Humble Bundle, we'll be at #6, unfortunately we'll have a ways to go from there to progress, needing to hit about $250 to advance. If we can hit $250 though, we'll take the #2 position.. then we'd need to break $1,000 to take #1.

I think #2 is a fair goal though :)

Just as an FYI....

"Invasion!" is actually two books plus 3 short stories.

First comes "Invasion!" which is the original unabridged, turned-in version of the book, about 35k words longer than the printed version, and contains 2 major characters, 2 subplots and some assorted prose that hit the cutting room floor.  And some names were changed between the turned-in and printed versions.

After that comes "Children of the Night", the first EVER e-book release of one of my Diana Tregarde books

Then three short stories that come between "World Divided" and "Revolution!" that were cut from "Revolution!"

Think I've gotten caught up on getting everyone's links sent off.If I've missed you, just PM me and I'll PM you the link instead of emailing.

So we're basically getting the GOTY version of the book? Nifty!


Zolgar

$25 more and we take the #2 spot!

I should see about borrowing one of my parents eBook readers to read Invasion.

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the mobi and epub versions of Invasion? I get a "The information you requested could not be retrieved. " on both of those, but every other download link works okay.  The torrent version of both those links results in a 404.

Thanks for putting your books up for sale, VV! Thanks for organizing this, Zolgar!

Edit: all download links work now. yay!

Thank you everyone for all your support..
