Welcome to the Crowdfundr page for An Ignorance of Romance: Adventures in Wooing!

What are we funding exactly? A new webcomic! Our goal is to fund the cost of production and hosting for the first few pages of this new project.

Who are the creators? You may have heard of Kelci or Kai from their previous projects. Kelci is well known for many webcomics such as The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Charlie and Clow, Johnson and Sir, or even way back to Seeing Him (the first collaboration between Kai and Kelci). Kai (under their previous name Kia) has worked on the writing and editing side for Seeing Him, as well as the webcomic Electric Fencer made by their best friend Ike Adibe.

So what’s this new project?

An Ignorance of Romance: Adventures in Wooing follows the story of Ereslian Parovni, Earl of Aumerton, commonly known as Lian. At 22 years old, Lian is suddenly being required to complete a Quest for True Love in order to be eligible to inherit his father’s Dukedom. The story follow him and his squire through meeting new people, attempting various challenges, and defying death at quite a few turns - all in the pursuit of finding Lian’s True Love™.

What makes this story a little different? Well, Lian is not your Everyday Hunky Prince Charming™. He was considered a sickly child and prefers to spend his time inside reading and drawing, rather than going out hunting or jousting like his father might prefer. Despite being what one might consider fairly gender non-conforming, he is sadly heterosexual... Making it very hard in this fantasy world of macho knights and fair maidens for him to fit into what is considered the ‘norm’.

What do you get out of backing us? Besides getting early access to the first pages of the webcomic, we have digital sketchbooks, commissions, and even spots for folks to get drawn as characters in the comic! Other rewards are also available in this a la carte style of shopping, meaning you pick and choose the rewards you want (instead of picking a tier and hoping for the best).

Where’s the money going? Here’s the breakdown:

• $170 for webhosting costs for one year.

• $20 for registering a domain

• and everything above that goes to Kai and Kelci to cover labor for the first few pages. The more funding raised, the more pages that get made!

Full disclosure – we are running this campaign as “Keep It All” and not “All or Nothing.” This way we can get started as soon as funds start to come in!

This campaign opens March 28 and closes April 27, 2025.
