surveys
over 2 years ago – Wed, Aug 11, 2021 at 12:13:53 AM

Alright! The time has come for surveys! Check your email and you should have a email from Backerkit inviting you to complete your survey through the link. You will also have the option to pick any add ons which include my Canis Mythologica pins and previous Patreon reward pins. If there is anything else you would like to see as an add on let me know. If you don’t see the email and it’s not in junk let me know and I’ll give you the link directly or change the email on file. Once at least 85% of backers have completed the survey I’ll start ordering pins. I’m excited to see what you all choose!

Hey everyone! I'm so so so sorry for the delay. My schedule has been packed tight with all conventions being crammed into a two month period. I'm just about done with the surveys, they got delayed a bit do to funds taking longer than normal to get to me. I'm all set up for Otakon tomorrow so I'm here in my hotel room wrapping up the surveys to hopefully start going out as a smoke test tomorrow. I'll keep you all updated and thank you all for your patience. 

WE DID ITTTT!!!!!

Everyone, I don't even know what to say. I'm am still in shock with the level of support for this project. You took my expectation and destroyed them! The level of support went way, way beyond what I could have dreamed and I am grateful to every one of you. With 645 backers its going to be a LOT of work going through surveys and getting all the packages out but I am ready for the challenge. Luckily I have a wonderful support team of my family and best friend that are already volunteering their time to help me fulfill this project.

So, what's next? For the next two weeks Kickstarter will be processing all the charges. In that time period they'll also be looking for any declined charges and be giving time to get those corrected. Within that time period I will be setting up the surveys through Backerkit. Smoke tests will be sent out first and once everything is cleared all surveys will be sent out. I'll be giving about two weeks for the surveys to be filled out before ordering pins. Once pins are ordered my manufacturer will take anywhere from 1-3 months depending on the workload to produce all the pins. Once I get them in hand (around September or October) it'll take me a week or two to sort everything out, grade them, board, and ship all the pins. 

I'll make sure to keep you all updated about any changes during the process. Also I have a VERY busy con schedule for the next two months so if you are going to any of these shows please stop by and say hi!

24 hour mark!!!

We are at the 24 hour mark and you all are blowing me away! I'm certainly glad I don't have a day job to go to, don't know how I'd be able to fulfill so many order any other way lol.  We still have a day to go so I'm excited (and maybe a bit scared) to see how far we can go and how many people will back the project. In the meantime I have a survey to see which designs are the most popular so I can start gauging how many I'll have to order (and because I'm curious). These won't be the official surveys, those will go out two weeks after the campaign ends.
