Here are the key details about the survey that I haven't mentioned before: 

• The deadline is 2 weeks from now (October 1st) but there is a question that asks if you'd like to be charged now or later. This is something I've offered for some of my campaigns before, because I myself have terrible ADHD and am surprised by pretty much any charge I should already know is coming unless it is instantaneous. I will start shipping out people when they are charged. Since charging is a manual process, I do check things before charging them to make sure nothing bizarre has happened and to add any freebies that haven't yet been applied (such as the bat sticker)!
• Vampire is now available in the "Tier 1" Monster girl gacha pin pool because I took so long to send these surveys out. Of course, they are primarily reserved for the Gothic Daydream campaign but I ordered enough that it's a non-issue.

• Shipping costs have skyrocketed because of this ridiculous war... so I unfortunately had to raise them on my end too, I'm sorry. 
• Seconds grade grab bags are now available for snake pins too (they're also possible to get seconds of in the mixed grab bag option): 

• The preorder store is not going to go live, instead I will be participating in the upcoming Holiday Market. So anyone who wanted to get in on this one but missed it can just catch up with that one! Like this time, I'll be adding a few new things again and am likely to create a new pin as the returnee reward since I know from experience with this new person that it won't take long... the issue is moreso my own speed... 🙇‍♀️ my current idea is a wreath snake. However, I have considerably less on my plate now as I am probably perma-finished with artist alleys, so I hopefully won't drag as much. This "retirement" is not 100% certain but highly likely. If I can get the pin designed before the end of this month then I will order it well in advance to speed up fulfillment of that market.
