Project Update: That's a wrap! + Next steps

Phew! It's done!


Thank you all for such a phenomenal campaign. I came into this project prepared to fund aspects out of pocket, but here we are - sitting at the end - and we've unlocked all-new things I didn't even prepare for. Thank you so heckin much for all the support!

Let's recap what we accomplished!

- Itafolios and Ida dice bags funded
- Each bag (folio or dice) comes with THREE inserts
- Inserts come in FIVE colors
- Pin set comes in TWO colorways
- Everyone earned a free mystery pin by hitting 12k!

What's next?

The preorder store is open!
If you're reading this, and you missed the campaign, go preorder now! (Link on the main campaign page.)

With the preorder store open, that means the pledge manager is about half done! I'll finish up the surveys this or next week, and try to get surveys out by mid-June. Important note: If you're a pay over time backer, no matter when I get surveys out, BackerKit will not send your survey link until your pledge is paid in full.

Tentative Timeline

  • Mid June - surveys out to backers
  • Early August - surveys close
    • Orders will lock, but addresses will not lock
    • Pay over time backers (and folks who procrastinate) can still fill out surveys once I've locked others
  • Early/Mid August - I place orders. 
    • Past this point, updates WILL be sparce. Once orders are placed, there's nothing to do but wait. 
  • November/December - Hoping to have stuff in-hand around this time
  • December/January - Holidays and Pintopia (Both of these will slow me down as giant time sucks haha)
  • February/March - Hoping to have everything fulfilled

Updates

Traditionally, I will post an update every 45-60 days (every other month) or when I have something to share - whichever comes first.

So you should expect updates when I lock orders or place orders with factories. And updates from factories, usually with photos. You'll also likely get an update saying "Hi, still alive. Nothing to report. Talk soon." I provide updates when fulfillment has begun, with photos. And then you'll have a stretch until I announce all fulfillment is complete.

More Stuff to Know

If your payment fails, if you delay filling out your survey for any reason, you will be able to fill it out until everything is fulfilled. Once all packages are shipped, I will close the project. Once the project is closed, no one will be able to fill out surveys, and pledges left will be considered donations. This is nearly a year from now. Please fill out your survey before a year later. Haha.

If you have any questions or need my immediate attention, please don't hesitate to reach out via email admin @ arledgecomics.com. Please do leave me comments! I love comments. Email is just more reliable for communication and it's private to address pledge questions. :)

Thanks again for such an amazing campaign. I hope to be in touch again soon!
