In very, very deep spite of how our country chooses to move, I’ve been pressing forward and not a little ironically, coping through working to keep this project progressing! I hope you’ve also been finding something to lean on for comfort or distraction.
In nicer news, I’ve already gotten samples of the pins from our manufacturer, and they look amazing! They did a great job on turning my artwork into these lovely little treasures. I can’t wait to wear “Time to Scream Now” and “Going Through It” to all the upcoming holiday gatherings with my conservative family-in-law (I love my wife but seriously…)
Thank you to everyone for getting almost 90% of the surveys in so quickly! The surveys andPre-Order Store will close on November 25th so that we can place production orders in time to help our amazing, helpful, and very patient sales rep and manufacturing partners in Hong Kong get an end of the season bonus.
Anyway, please scroll on to enjoy these photos of the pins, I hope you agree they’ve turned out beautifully!
New backer poll! Vote on your favorite romance trope. I'm well aware we all have multiple tropes we like, but again, the poll only lets you choose one. So feel free to choose one on the poll and comment below your other favorite tropes!
Backer Achievement We've reached the 300 backer achievement, so all orders will come with a free standard bookmark. The design will be forthcoming. We're also only 50 backers away from the 500 backer achievement, which is a free sticker with each pledge (also design forthcoming).
Hi Backers Frens! We want to take a moment to inform those of you eligible for the mini pin freebies (check out the image below for reminding the specific criteria) about an important matter regarding your survey.
What Happened: We apologize for the oversight! For some reasons, the option to select your mini pin freebie was missing when you initially fulfilled your survey due to an error on our end. We’re really sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
What You Need to Do: If you qualify for the mini pin freebie, you should have received an email from Backerkit asking you to re-confirm your survey after making your selection for the mini pin freebie. Please check your inbox (and your spam folder, just in case!) for this important message.
⚠️ Important Note: If you don’t make a selection and reconfirm your survey asap, please know that you’ll receive a random mini pin freebie along with the other items you’ve chosen in the survey. We want you to enjoy a surprise if you miss the chance to answer!
>If you haven’t received an email yet and you’re eligible, please hang tight and keep an eye out for it. We’re working hard to get everything sorted out for you!
For those who are not eligible for the mini pin freebie, we kindly ask that you please refrain from sending us messages regarding this. Your understanding means a lot to us!
Thank you! We truly appreciate every single one of you, and we can’t wait for you the production to be started!
I'm working on fighting off a nasty sinus infection that I thought I had kicked already so bear with me. Surveys will begin going out slowly today. If you don't see yours by next Friday, please shoot me a message.
If everyone can get those done ASAP, that would be great so I know how many to order.
Brief update. Surveys should be soon. BackerKit has to approve them and there’s been some delays waiting for the reply. As soon as they are approved I’ll get the smoke tests out and then send the surveys out, followed by another update! It’s partially my fault as I didn’t submit them for review until the day prior <3
Surveys will close 2 weeks after I send them.
For those of you who have a Hellaverse order open and will be at Anime Dallas, Anime Frontier, or Anime Weekend Atlanta please email me if you’d like to pick up your order in person! ([email protected]). The only items I can’t do in person are the sticker books and the pin boards (too heavy for flying)
Thank you so much for filling out your survey! As of now, we have 90% of the surveys completed, and this means I now have a pretty good idea of how many items I need to order from my manufacturer~ Please be reminded that orders will be locked tomorrow morning (a reminder email should've been sent out yesterday to everyone who have completed the survey). Please double check your pledges and add-ons if you haven't got a chance to do.
For those of you who haven't completed your survey yet, please kindly have it filled out as soon as you can so that we have a record of what you would like to get for your rewards. Also, please note that tomorrow I will be removing most of my in stock add-on items that are currently available in the pledge manager, but everything from this campaign will still be there. Finally, I will also be closing the pre-order shop tomorrow. If you are interested in this project, and having got an opportunity to pledge yet, this is your last chance to grab these cuties at the backerkit special price!
I also want to take this opportunity to let you know that we need to make a minor change to the Blue Moon pin after talking to my manufacturer. First of all, the parts that connect the tree to the lantern need to be bigger. You can compare the new design to the old design to see the difference. It is a manufacturing requirement in order to make this design work. Secondly, after enlarging those connecting parts, I noticed that if I kept the height of the pin at 1.8", it is very likely that the lantern will be touching the ground where the ghost is now sitting. To avoid this issue, I have slightly increased the height of the tree by 0.1" and that should avoid the problem. Therefore, in the new design, our final height is 1.9". The width will stays the same as 1.2". One last thing I want to clarify is that on the campaign page, I said that the width of this pin is 1.3", but that was actually a typo. The correct width is 1.2". Sorry for the confusion. For Blue Moon sticker, I am going to keep the original look as there is no reason why I have to increase those connecting parts for the sticker.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. Thanks again for supporting my project!
