be a part of the story
We've been so lucky to have the support of countless people as we've worked to make RATIONAL CREATURES a reality, including the 86 people who donated $4060 to fund our first season and the 160 who raised $12,109 to finish the story with Season Two.
There are lots of ways you can pitch in to help RATIONAL CREATURES succeed:
-Share Season One with someone you think would like what we’re doing. Your friends trust you way more than they trust strangers on the internet. Don’t forget to use #RatCreatures and use your profiles to spread the word with our social media banners or Twibbon.
-Follow us on Seed & Spark, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr, and our newsletter for updates.
-Spread the word! If you know of any publications, blogs, podcasts, etc that would be interested in our story, email us or direct them to our press kit.
We’re eternally grateful for your support in any way that you can give it!
with half agony, half hope,
