Next step for us is to wait for payments to fully process, which takes about two weeks! After that, I will be sending out surveys! Here you can get add-ons (including stuff from previous campaigns) or order more pins for the campaigns -the quicker you do this, the quicker we can order the pins and extras! (I want a solid count on what pins to order before I get them made to make sure we get enough)
Add-ons and shipping will not be charged until we are ready to ship, so you don't need to worry about paying for them for a couple of months!
As soon as we have confirmed payments and a count of the charity pin, I will be able to work out how much we raised and then send off the donation! There will be another update then with proof of the donation being made!
For anyone getting the charity pin in the add-on, we will do a second donation once add-ons/shipping have been charged, if needed.
When the surveys go out, we will open the pre-order store, which will also be charged when we are ready to ship! So if you missed the campaign, this is your chance to get pins!
That's it for now! Thank you all again for your support!
Quick reminder, time is running out to back the project! The trans pins can be considered as unlocked at this point since we are just under the goal! -There's still time to unlock the lesbian/gay colourways as well!
Since this has done so well, I will look at doing a volume 2 later on, either later this year or the next -this will be to unlock a new set of flags we haven't yet done. :)
Meanwhile, please enjoy this preview of the backing card design for the pins!
It is my birthday today, so in celebration, everyone who backs gets this silly/goofy party lion sticker!
We are slowly getting close to the trans pins unlocks, and I'm pretty sure we can make it before the end -projects always have a rush of last-minute backers in the last 48 hours!
All the unlocked pins will be available in the pre-order store a couple of weeks after the project ends if anyone can't back right now but wants the pins later!
I have an upcoming project I will be launching in June for the PinQuest group event! Click the image for more details and to follow for more updates.
I also have a bunch of other projects planned later in the year, but not ready to officially announce anything quite yet -but the plan is as follows: (all subject to change)
may -mini Titanfall pin project (yes, pins for a 10-year-old game, which I love to pieces, which I understand will have a limited audience) april/may/june? -The summer-ready-to-ship project is backerkit decides to do that. June - pinquest event -the dnd cute critters project August -Pocket change pin event -leaves and gourd mini pins October -Pintober? -cats and bats! November/December -winter-ready-to-ship project if BackerKit does this again.
------------------
Finally! If you are still on the hunt for cool projects in this 'pin of pride' event, I'd like to just recommend this project: ( Click the image for more details) They didn't ask for a shout-out or anything, but I have previously brought pins from this maker, and they are really high quality, reasonably priced, and they are really fast at producing and shipping! Their project also offers a lot of flag variations to get right away.
🎉 🎉 🎉 We hit our goal in under 12 hours! And I woke up to see you guys have smashed it, and we have hit our second goal!
Thank you all so much for supporting so far!
There's still a good chunk of time for those who haven't backed yet to get the early-bird freebie! So don't forget to back ASAP to secure that free charm!
