New Ancillary Story, but there's a catch...

[davidgillon]

There's a chance to get an new Ancillary story by Ann Leckie, but it's tied-up in some unusual conditions.

Strange Horizons are holding a crowd-funder, if they get to $9000 (currently at $6500) they'll publish it. If they get to $13,000, they'll publish the second half.

Now I'm a fan of Ancillary Justice, and I've backed several anthology crowdfunders recently, but (and it may just be me and my loathing at feeling compelled to do anything) there's something about the two halves thing leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Are they really proposing to publish only half a story if they get to $9K but not $13K?

Agreed, suspect it's more an attempt to use her success to support the magazine, rather than vice versa.
