By now you've probably received your pin sets. There's a few stragglers who haven't filled out their surveys or gotten through the shipping charge step, so if that's you, please make sure to check your emails and log in to get all that sorted so I can go for 100% completion!
Please let me know if anything didn't arrive, arrive the way you wanted, or I missed something. Definitely reach out so I can make it right if that's the case.
I also wanted to let you know that I'm going to be doing another crowdfunding campaign this year (urgh, not on my list but I couldn't pass it up) for my debut novella The Warm Machine in ebook, paperback, and likely also hardcover, which is a light romance about two robots who run away together and have a few adventures on their way to find a robot utopia. I say light romance because there's a lot of actiony bits happening and they're robots, so it's not super touchy feely. You can subscribe to get notified of that project's launch by using this link.
Now, if you prefer a bit heavier romance, my partner Lesbians in Space. Lesbians in Space: Where No Man Has Gone Before has a collection of sapphic-themed short stories. Like Pintopia, there will be some cool cross collaboration rewards (like, ahem, building your own oracle card deck? Shh shh you didn't hear that from me) across Booktopia so I hope to see you there!
I'm sure you already saw this in your email but most pins have shipped out! 🎉 I still have a few stragglers who didn't fill out their survey (5 people) and some whose cards declined for the shipping fee (6 people) so please check your emails to see if this is you! I've already emailed everyone about the surveys, but if it has been a while and I don't see any resolution for the failed cards, I'll email about those too. If you live outside the US, please remember that your items are on their way to Seven and will be going out with your Alleyman stuff!
So excited. The pins are HERE! I put together one set and took a bunch of photos and videos to show you all. Check out the video I posted on Instagram so you can see the set, mini arrow, and collab pin plus the glow!
Right now I have 5 backers that have not responded to surveys (I personally emailed you too if this is you!) and 7 failed cards for additional add ons and shipping charges. Please make sure to fill out your surveys if you have not, and fix your failed cards if yours is one of the cards that failed. :) Addresses should be automatically locking tonight, and in the meantime, I'll be grading away, carding, and getting ready to ship out all your orders!
Almost there. I can see the finish line! :D Let me know if you have any issues or questions. I'll be back for our next update!
I'm super excited to see the final photos of the Hunted pin set from the manufacturer, which means they'll all be shipping out in a day or so. That means I need to lock surveys on Monday so when they arrive I can begin the process of getting them out to you. :)
Only a small handful of surveys are still lingering (about 7 I think) so please make sure you get those in before I lock orders!
Now, onto some photos...
Love the symmetry of this design.
I was really impressed by the glow, even in room lighting.

From here, I'll let you know when I've got most/all things packed. I'll also have an update for you regarding Dexter's choice of toy from your gracious toy fund donations, and our wolf adoption. :) Stay tuned.
