Tonight we shipped another 37 or 38 packages out from our Book Drive, and something occurred to me, once again.
Steam Crow is a cooperative.
I mean, sure... it's a co-op of Dawna and I making things that we're interested in...
But that's only half of the story.
The other half is you... the reader/supporter/watcher/Patriot. You're a huge part of this thing too.
I've said similar things before, mostly because I believe it. But it never occurred to me to think of this as a cooperative effort.
If we make things, and nobody cares to look at them, read them, talk about them or buy them... we're sunk. After a short while this wouldn't be sustainable and it would whither and die.
Steam Crow would just be an idea or a project. But a rather thin lonely one.
But with you Patriots in the equation, we're so much more.
We're part of an indie art/publishing movement. We're making what we want to make, rather than what some suit tells us to make.
We're fiercely independent... and we like it this way.
Anyway, I just wanted to say "thank you" for participating in the experiment with us.
There's no looking back.
