I just wanted to touch base real quick. As of last week, 90% of pledges have been shipped and should be making their way to your homes!
Unfortunately, I ran out of large boxes, so the other 10% will get sorted next weekend after the boxes arrive and mailed the week after that. (mid April).
I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop that your Derpies will make their way to you soon!
If you remember this part of the Volume 7 campaign...yeah, this is almost exactly the same. (The stack of boxes in the back even includes the last unopened box of Volume 7s from last year.)
When you get a process that works, don't mess with it, you know?
Speaking of process: this is the step where I need to figure out who gets the original cover lineart.
As usual, for everyone who got a ticket this year, I put the names in Pickerwheel.com, and the winner is...
...Tristan S! Congratulations, Tristan!
I'll be getting more of the US rewards in the mail this week. For everyone who's left, I should lock your shipping addresses some time next week. Keep an eye out for that update email.
I had hoped to have the books in my hands by now and ship them out to all backers by March 15. However, they haven't reached the port in California yet! I'm assured they're on their way, as well as the boxes I'll be shipping them in.
WHILE YOU WAIT, I'm going to start sending out digital rewards. My spring break happens next week and I'm heading out to New Zealand for a writer's convention. My big goal for the next ten days is to get all the digital rewards out. As soon as I have the books in my hands, I will send you pictures--right before they go into the mail!
Thank you for your patience! It's going to be worth it!
Our new campaign just launched! If you want to hear Mary Robinette Kowal narrate your favorite stories from (potentially both) anthologies, you can help us make it a reality!
We also have another chance for you to get the Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back fancy hardback, but we've got limited amounts, so get yours quick!
Exciting news! I have now packed 2/3 of all pledges, and will be mailing them out at the end of this week! That still leaves about 55 pledges to pack and fulfill. I will be finishing those this coming weekend, and hope to ship all the books and pins by the end of next week!
1/3rd of the packages sorted and ready to ship
In order to get backers who backed both "D" for Derpies and "Festive Derpies" campaigns, I am fulfilling them simultanously, hopefully saving time so you can get all your pins at the same time!
The fulfillment setup - two campaigns side by side
A stack of signed books ^_^
I am really excited to get these pins and books to you!
Thank you so much for your patience in waiting for them. Since there are so many pins/books and backers, and only me and my little helpers, there is always a chance that we might miss something or mix up an order despite triple checking everything. If you have any problems with your pledges once you get it, please email me at [email protected] and I will make it right.
