Hey, hey backers!

Writing a quick update to share that the bookmarks arrived, and they're so cute (and tiny)!

The magnet is very strong, and I've been testing it out on my current read (Apprentice to the Villain, thanks for asking!). Am I addicted to making bookmarks now? Oh no.

Pins are in production. I don't have any news on that front yet. I'll post another update as soon as I have any movement there.

I also want to share!

I have a new campaign that went live today!

Can I interest you in some cute lil ghostie emojis? Because I've got cute lil ghostie emojis. Step right up, and get haunted, fam! [CLICK ME]

Pledge manager surveys are sitting at 89%! If we can get just a couple more filled out, pushing us over 90%, I'd feel comfortable enough with counts to put things into production. So please get those filled out!

Oh! Speaking of production~
I did get rolling on the banner reward bookmarks. They were just completed and will be shipping out to us soon!

Smoke tests are out!!

Assuming we didn't mess anything up, the rest of the surveys will go out later this week :D

We'll be posting another update once we're ready to lock orders and send everything in for production. 

Quick note!

If you qualify for reduced shipping (if you backed my collab partner or our friends over at Arledge Comics), you will see a full shipping charge on your order. Shipping credits will be applied after your survey is filled out, but before we actually charge cards. Please trust the process. We gotchu :D

Until next time!!

You've made some requests for recolors, so here are some updated designs we're adding to the campaign! These do not need to be unlocked; they're added to the first round of offerings and will be available in the pledge manager. 

Below we have: Polyamorous (new and legacy colorways), genderfluid, and fictosexual (to be quite honest, I'd not heard of this one before. You learn something new every day!).

There's been a request for ally pins; and to be honest, I'm not all-too-sure how I'd make that colorway work out. The ally flag is a black and white 'A' shape on a rainbow background. With the size and linework of the pins, adding screen printing to the rainbow designs would look a little messy. :(

While we don't plan on an ally colorway, we do have these designs awaiting a mock-up from our manu. We've been offering these as acrylic pins for a couple years, and they've been really popular at Pride events. Since we've raised enough in this campaign for a stretch goal, we'll be giving these an upgrade. 

(When I say a couple years, I mean I dug these out of my 2023 folder!)

These will be 1.5" and printed on silver metal with a glitter epoxy coating. And officially added to the campaign once we have mock ups back!

If we missed a flag, just reach out and we'll try to find a solution. :) There's a little over a week left of Pintopia. Let's finish strong!
