Godkin was M.C.A. Hogarth's first foray into crowdfunded publishing, and ran as an interactive serial from the first entry on October 9, 2003 to the epilogue on June 9, 2009. The story was public and free to read, but anyone who tipped/donated $1 or more could participate in the polls at the end of each entry, voting for events which would directly influence the story. M.C.A. announced she was going to begin work on a print edition in April 2011. The story will be published as a duology by Sofawolf Press, the first of which will debut in June 2012 at Anthrocon.
