Quick update from me on the progress of production for "Sworn Servant" and its accompanying goodies. Here's the status rundown:
"Sworn Servant" Foil Prints - In transit to me Other Prints - In production Playmats - In production Stickers - Ready to go! Bags & Backing - Ready to go!
I'm lucky enough I have the sticker hookup being able to print locally, so those are ready first (as soon as I can cut them all apart).
Pending Surveys
There are also 6 backers who haven't turned in their surveys or paid their shipping fees. Please note that I cannot send you your items until you fill out your survey and pay any shipping fees first. If you were expecting word from this project and haven't recieved it yet, double-check your emails associated with Backerkit to make sure your survey was recieved. Also check your spam boxes just in case the emails are being filtered.
Drop an email to angela(at)angelasasser.com or comment on this Update and I will see it (however, email is the most direct and quick way to get support). You can also pop into my Discord server and ask for help in the General channel. I haunt there regularly!
As soon as I'm back from Multiverse this weekend, I'm making fulfillment my primary focus so I can hop to it once all the bits and bobs arrive on my doorstep.
An important head's up to everyone! You have about 3 days to add any extra Add-Ons or get "Sworn Servant" at the Backer offer before it goes up in price and becomes a Patreon Secret Shop exclusive.
Surveys & Late Pledge Shop Link
I'm counting 8 surveys currently NOT turned in at this moment, so go check your surveys at this link:
- The Late Pledge Shop closes OCTOBER 1ST. - Surveys will lock OCTOBER 2ND. I want to get this party started ASAP!
If you don't have your survey in by October 2nd, you'll still be able to get your items, but I cannot send them to you until after your survey is answered and your shipping and any extra Add On costs are settled. You'll need to contact me directly via angela(at)angelasasser.com to unlock your survey after that date if there's anything extra you'd like to add at that point.
I'm waiting with baited breath to take the manufacturing counts, order the prints, and start signing all of these lovelies for you all. My hand is going to need some ice after!
Meet Me In-Person
Also while I'm here, will any of you be in town for Multiversecon down here in Georgia?
Come say hi to me there and meet Martha Wells, author of Murderbot, our Guest of Honor this year who is way cooler than I am!
I'd love to geek out about Kushiel's Legacy and Fantasy things with you if you drop by.
More updates soon as we progress through the next phase of getting this campaign fulfilled!
Head's up to let Backers know that their surveys for the "Sworn Servant" campaign have been sent out. Celebrations all around!
If you missed out on pledging to this project, you're in luck! You can still get this gold foil limited edition print for $35 before the price goes up and it becomes a Patreon Secret Shop exclusive.
But hurry because I'll only be keeping this shop open for one week before surveys and orders will be locked! This will be the final chance to add extra favorites from my Kushiel Concepts collection you may have missed out on and to lock-in Backer pricing.
~The Late Pledge Shop closes October 1st!~
Then surveys will be locked so I can start taking manufacturing counts.
Questions or bugs to report? Let me know with a PM or drop an email to angela(at)angelasasser.com. I'm happy to help!
Very soon we'll have these lovely prints in hand! Hang tight till then.
Last Thursday, you all helped this campaign succeed! Since then, I've taken a few days to rest and also to complete the finalized design for the most popular option for the Stretch Goal sticker.
Enjoy the reveal of the polished sticker before we get down to next step details!
I hope you all enjoy the final version of the freebie sticker! The other two designs that were in the running may show up in my Etsy shop at a later point, but for now, ALL Backers of this campaign will be getting a freebie sticker of this design included in their pledge items!
The only thing you need to do is fill out your surveys (once they're sent out) to make sure you recieve your freebie. Those who do not have physical rewards will be able to choose whether or not they'd like to pay shipping for their freebie or if they'd prefer to skip out on the freebie instead of needing to pay shipping for it.
Timeline of Next Steps
And now to business! Here's what's going to be happening to get this campaign fulfilled. I'm currently waiting on the funds to transfer into my bank account, which is predicted to happen September 22nd. After this date, the real fun begins!
End of September - The funds transfer! I'll be opening up the Pledge Manager / Late Pledge Shop as soon as the funds transfer.
This Late Pledge Shop will be open for one week so that folks can pick up any extras they might've forgotten and late pledgers can have one final chance to hop in at the campaign price before the "Sworn Servant" prints goes up to $45 and is only available via my Patreon Secret Shop.
Early October - The Pledge Manager closes. I'll be locking surveys so I can take final manufacturing counts at this point so I can order all the supplies needed to fullfill this project.
Mid through Late October - Fulfillment begins! I plan to have everything shipped by end of October.
The Official Cut-Off Date - I'll be processing any requested refunds until the end of the year, December 31st. After this date, I will not be offering refunds for this campaign to noncommunicative backers. (If this cut-off date changes for any reason, I will let you all know!)
This is all best case scenario barring any Life Happenings (TM). As I am a one-person biz working with family and friends to get this fullfilled, I ask for patience. I will do my best to communicate any unforseen delays.
Also, back of house note. There're a couple of pledges that have failed to process, which means there are a few of you who need to double-check your payment sources. Once I open up the Pledge Manager, you'll be marked as 'failed payment' and will need to settle your balance in the Pledge Manager instead before I can send your items to you.
Any questions? Consult the project FAQ, leave a comment on this post, or drop me an email to angela(at)angelasasser.com directly. I'm happy to help!
Thanks to your efforts, the Stretch Goal sticker design has been UNLOCKED! Thank you so much to those of you who have pledged and shared this project. The design that has had a consensus amount of love towards it in the polls and comments has been A from this set.
I'll be polishing this design while the timer ticks down and prepping next steps for after the campaign ends. The B and C choices may appear sometime down the road because I love them so much, but for now, I'm going to focus on the most popular design for our chosen freebie.
We're into the final 24 hours on this campaign now, so keep on sharing these posts on the socials for the final push!
