BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
How long will it be before I receive my package?
After the campaign is complete, I'll need two weeks to collect funds, an average of two weeks for everyone to answer their survey, then an average two weeks for the printing company to make the books, then an average month-month and a half for shipping to arrive.
What languages will it be available in?
While I've made both English and Italian copies in previous campaigns, this one will only be printed in English.
I backed your previous Sunrise Blossom campaigns and the prices for the books have gone up, what's up with that?
I understand and heavily empathize with your frustration :( The reason, other than a raise in printing and shipping costs, is that I registered as a independent business late last year so I could make these comics completely legally and not risk any trouble with the Agenzia delle Entrate (the Italian IRS), but that also means I have more taxes to pay. I can guarantee I'm not making more profit per-book than I did before.
What's your foot size?
Excuse me?
What's your favourite animal?
Bears, but I also adore birds and bees (no not a pun I legit like them)
Are you acoustic?
1. Wow that question is actually very ableist and disrespectful why would you ask that? The correct way to ask that is "are you on the autism spectrum?" or "are you autistic?" or "do you have burgers up your ass?" 2. yes
If I get the physical copies 1-5 will volume 4 be the sfw or the nsfw copy?
If you get 1-5 you can choose whether you want the SFW or NSFW after the campaign, in the survey you'll receive after all funds are collected :D
