Hi folks! It’s Eira. I hope you enjoyed the first instalment of ‘Real Remnants’ last week! Now it’s been a couple of weeks since the finale of S1, I’m opening up the Hanging Sloth inbox for a Q&A! Submit your questions using the form on hangingslothstudios.com/qna, that’s the letters Q for queen, n for nose, and a for ambulance. The form will be open until the seventeenth of April, which is a Thursday. I’ll pop a little reminder on before then, though! I’m looking forward to hearing your questions!

Also, Not Quite Dead is still crowdfunding for season two! Support has been absolutely immense so far, and I’m so excited! If you’d like to support vampire rights AND vampire wrongs, you still have time to do so over on tiny.cc/nqd4! The campaign will be running until the second of April. Live, laugh, bite!

Here's the first 'Real Remnant', where I take you through some of the research I did for Remnants, topic by topic. These aren't deep dives; they're just a little glimpse into some of the subjects the show explores. For more info, I've put together a short list of introductory sources which might be a good starting point if you do want to find out more.

Support Not Quite Dead!

Hi, it’s Eira, creator of Remnants! One of my other shows, Not Quite Dead, launched its crowd-funder for S4 today. It’s a gory horror romance about vampires, and it’s extremely gay. If you enjoy the emotional rollercoasters of Remnants and you’d like more of that but with vampires who can’t keep their hands or their teeth out of one another, Not Quite Dead will definitely satisfy your appetites. I’m really excited about this next season of the show and it’d be cool if you’d like to help me make it happen by going to tiny.cc/nqd4. The £15 tier will tell you if you live or die following an encounter with a vampire, and grant you a special role in the Hanging Sloth discord server, and higher tiers have tons of fun stuff like a digital collection of in-world notes written by the main character, Alfie, and opportunities to name a vampire in the show. You can find out more at tiny.cc/nqd4! That’s t-i-n-y dot c-c forward slash n-q-d and the number 4.
