Project Update: Surveys... SHOULD be fixed and ready to go.

Good evening, gang!

Hopefully our final update on the survey situation - things should be cleaned up on the back end.

If you were missing freebies, re-confirm your survey and check after. If you still don't have pins you know, for a fact, that you earned: start panicking again and comment or email me.

Snowy owl pins AND stickers are also fixed - I had to add them, individually, to pledge questions, so if you're missing one, let me know so I can assign it to you manually.

The mess here has eaten up a few days of our survey period, but you guys still have a good amount of time. You have until March 30th to fill your survey out, add new items, or change your picks.

You also have until March 30th to fix any failed payments. Right now, we have 13 backers whose cards failed on their initial pledge. If that's you... get in there, and make sure things get cleaned up!

We're not offering reserves, late charges, or extended surveys this time around. Don't miss your potential freebies, discount tiers, or have to wait till retail sales because of an expired card or a bank that didn't like Pintopia's sequential purchases.

Surveys are 50% complete, which is a very nice number this soon after campaign close. So, as a reward, let's look at our top pins so far!

Our more popular EARLY BIRD incentive pin is the Night Owl. Guess a lot of you guys need a better sleep schedule, huh? I can't judge too hard, so do I.
By far our most popular 1.5" pin is the Werewolf. All of you people need a bath in holy water. He has nearly twice as many buyers as...
The Eastern dragon, Snughoul werewolf, Rainbow Unicorn, and Red Fox, who are tied for runner-up.
Gryphon, Otter, Snow Leopard, and Western Dragon are within 1 point of a third-place tie.
Our most popular BIG PIN is the Trash Critters. They took the lead from Hyenas' antique pin earlier today.
Our most popular sticker is the Spotted Hyena. Hyenas are getting a lot of love this campaign, for sure.
Our most popular duos of pins are Spotted Hyena + Striped Hyena, Foo Dog + Eastern Dragon, and Lion + Lioness. Couples? Best friends? Rivals? Standing next to each other, unrelated? Who knows - these three seem to be inseparable, with at least a dozen backers picking both.

I'll do a round-up with some pretty pictures at the very end, so you can see how your personal picks stack up.

The most interesting data, so far, for me, has been our general drop in parrot popularity. My normal customers are birders and bird owners, and, in general, most of our parrots are doing single-digits! Our songbirds are still doing decent, but overshadowed heavily by our monsters and canines.

I've been hesitant to do non-feathered critters for a bit, but I guess the numbers talk. Did CRITTER CRIMES bring you to my work, or something else? Not mad, just, definitely curious where a lot more animal demographics are finding the HUSTLE.

Right now, it's time for me to get dinner and get pantones smacked on pins. Tell me how you found my work, what your first campaign was, or what you want to see next - something for me to read while I have an 8:30 PM coffee or five.
