Survey Progress and Design Updates!
Good evening!
This will be a bit longer of an update, but I have a couple of design updates, a new mini pin, and I want to show off all the designs that will be available th...
It looks like there are still about 20 people who haven't filled out their surveys. If you think this is you, please check that you filled everything out and hit submit by going to your profile on BackerKit, selecting "Your Pledges and Surveys" and find this campaign. If you lost the link to the survey or never received one, here is the link to recover it: Survey Recovery Page
There are still quite a few failed payments as well- please check your email for one from BackerKit that says if your card was charged successfully. If you aren't sure, again you can check on it by clicking on your profile on BackerKit, selecting "Your Pledges and Surveys" and find this campaign. You can also search your email or leave a comment on this update and I can check for you :)
In other news- the pin order has been placed! It should take between 4 and 6 weeks for them to be made, and another 2ish weeks to get to me. I've also already ordered several of the sticker designs and the colab keychains, and I plan on ordering the last of the stickers, keychains and lanyards when I return from vacation on August 10th :)
I'll try to keep everyone updated and answer any questions that come up, but please remember that I will be out of state between August 4th and 10th and it might take longer for me to respond to your emails. You are also more than welcome to message me on Instagram if you have an urgent question or concern :)
Surveys will lock tomorrow(ish) and after that you will lo longer be able to make changes to your order freely. If you do need to make any last minute updates, you can let me know at any point from now until your order ships and I can re-open your survey so you can make changes.
A couple days after surveys lock (around Wednesday) I will be charging cards. Please keep an eye on your email to make sure your payment goes through! If I don't receive full payment, I will have to cancel your pledge!
There are still about 30 of you who have not filled out your survey! Please do so as soon as you can! I cannot fulfill your order if you do not complete the survey or if your payment fails. Didn't receive a survey? Click this link and you will be sent a new one.
Good news- the Mystery Dragon Egg Keychainshave been funded! If you were worried about this item not getting unlocked but want to add it to your order now that the funding goal has been reached, please let me know via comment and I can re-open your survey :)
That's all for now! I'll be working on getting all these items ordered in the next week and a half, then I'll be taking a week off to drive to Denver for the Ghost Ritual there! I'll still try to answer any emails and questions that may come up, but I'll be driving like 1500 miles over 6 days so don't be surprised if responses come a little slower than normal :)
Quick reminder for everyone- please fill out your survey if you haven't done so already! Filling out your survey helps me know how many of each pin, sticker, lanyard, and magnet design I need to order. Without this information, I may not order enough of each design! If you can't find your survey link, you can recover it here or leave a comment and I can re-send it to you.
Another reminder- through the survey and pre-order store you can still get one of these Dragon Egg Mystery keychains! We're just 3 orders away from unlocking this last-minute stretch goal :)
If you are having any issues with your survey, please let me know ASAP so I can help you! I'm more than happy to re-send your survey link or help you with any questions you may have :)
I love seeing which items are the most popular in any campaign, so here's a list of the most popular designs! 1. Rainbow Dragon Pin (80 orders) 2. Queer Dragon Pin (39 orders) 3. Progress Pride Mini Pin (38 orders) 4. Transgender Unicorn Pin (33 orders) 5. Asexual Manticore Pin (31 orders) 6. Bisexual Gryphon Pin (30 orders) 7. Nonbinary Tatzelwurm Pin (28 orders) 8. Rainbow Dragon Sticker (21 orders) 9. Lesbian Peryton Pin (19 orders) 10. Rainbow Lanyard (16 orders)
That's it for now! I'll be posting another update in a week or two when I place the order for the enamel pins, and of course I'll also send a few updates along the way with progress photos and updates on the production of other campaign items.
Good afternoon everyone! Great news- the test surveys were all answered super quick and everything looks fantastic! Thank you so muck each of you who got the test surveys for the quick turn-around! This means its finally time to release surveys for everyone! Please check your email for the survey link (it will be in a separate email from this one) and answer as soon as you can so I can get a more accurate number for the manufacturer(s) :)
There are still about 13 of you with failed payments. This means there is still about $450 outstanding, and with so much of the funds unavailable to me, I cannot order everything needed for the campaign. I hope these payments will be fixed soon so I can start production on time, but if these don't get fixed within 2 weeks I may have to delay production of some items. Please check your payment info by going to your profile on BackerKit (upper right corner of the screen) and clicking on "Your Pledges and Surveys" there, you should be able to check on my campaign and see if your payment went through. You should have also received an email saying your payment failed.
Please fill out your survey as soon as you can so I can get production started! If you lost the link or didn't receive one, please let me know and I can re-send it to you. If you chose to pay over time, you will not receive your survey until all payments have been made.
For more details about each item and to see what's available for each item type, I recommend having the two previous updates open for reference. The last update has images of all the stickers, car magnets, and lanyards, and the update before that one has images of all the available pin designs- including the Creature Flag pins, Pronoun Pins, and Mini Banner pins.
Have questions? Please comment here or send me a DM on instagram and I will be happy to help out :) If there are any issues with your survey, pledge, or if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Good morning everyone! I finally finished creating your surveys, and the smoke-test is now out! This test survey has gone out to about 5% of backers, so please check your other emails to see if you got one. Smoke tests allow me to test the survey and make sure everything looks good and is functional, so if you received one of these please fill it out ASAP and let me know if anything doesn't look right, shipping prices seem off, or if I missed something!
For the most part, US orders should be between $5 and $16 for shipping depending on order size, and all international orders sould be between $18 and $30 again depending on how much was ordered.
I added images to most pledge questions to help you decide which pins you want, though because there are so many options for pin and stickers, some questions might not have an image for each answer. In particular, anyone who got 8 or more pins as part of their pledge (King's Ransom, Dragon's Nest, and Dragon's Hoard) will only have images attached to the first 8 or so (pin) questions. If you want to see all of your options together, the previous update shows all the pin options (including pronoun and mini pins), and this update will have all the sticker, lanyard, and magnet options shown. Please feel free to use both this update and the previous one (linked) as a guide while you fill out your survey!
Small updates: The Asexual flag is now available as a lanyard, meaning there are now 7 flag options available as a lanyard! This is a small change, but since the Asexual flag is usually pretty popular, I decided to add it here too :)
The small sticker collection will feature 19 different options to choose from, including sticker versions of each Flag Creature design (12), plus 7 Pride Shield designs (shown all together later in this update). The Flag creatures are still in progress, but 2/3 of them have been updated for the sticker designs. Mostly I've just been adding extra details in the sticker versions like shading and wing/ fur patterns, so they'll still basically look the same as their pin counterparts
Extra Goodies: There are a few bonus items in the add-on section of the survey, including a few items already in my shop from previous campaigns! If your flag wasn't used for this campaign, I may have it in my Pride Moth collection from 2021-2023. I have added the Acrylic Pins (1.5 inches) and Stickers (3 inches, waterproof) from that campaign to the add-ons section. Feel free to grab a couple at a special discounted rate though the survey and help me get rid of some old stock!
I have also added the Mystery Dragon Egg Keychains I designed earlier in the campaign to the Add-Ons! These were initially voted against in favor of more pin options, but I decided to add these as a last stretch-goal to see if folks would still be interested in them. If there are at least 15 orders of these, I'll have the funds to produce them and they'll be officially added! If they don't get enough sales however, you won't be charged for them and they will not be produced.
And for one last Bonus Item- Mystery B Grade pins from the last campaign!
Mystery B Grade pins are enamel pins from my last campaign that have minor cosmetic flaws. This can be anything from underfilled enamel sections or spots/specks of color in the enamel or bubbles in the plating. Most of these flaws are very very minor and aren't even visible unless you know where to look. Grab one of these (mystery) pins at a big discount!
Here's the Collection of Stickers, Lanyards, and Car Magnets:
Small (2.5 inch) Stickers (Designs for second row and AroAce Kirin will be updated with shading later):
Large (4 inch) Stickers:
That's all for now! Keep an eye on your email for the survey notification. I will post another update when all of the surveys are out, as well as updates on production, product photos, and before I begin shipping.
Please keep in mind that I am one person doing this in my freetime after my 8-5, so it might take longer than expected for all orders to be shipped or for me to answer your question/ comment.
