After five days of experimenting with a new model for releasing work:
— 225 of 250 editions collected
— Collectors on track to pay $1,000+ (release is pay what you want)
This is the most money I've ever been paid for a piece of writing (other than books)

Obsess over being real about it
We're already in creative groups, they're just not yet self-aware

The Dark Forest Anthology is not an NFT
But it is a digital record that has verifiable provenance, a unique edition number, and unique identifier that will be exportable to other contexts in time
