Project Update: Fulfillment Update
Hey backers!
I appreciate your patience as I allowed myself a little break over the holidays (and then got sucked right into Pintopia). This is a much needed update, and I promise much has been happening since the last update!
I've been fulfilling this project in stages, getting folks their pins as soon as I'm able. Here's where things stand right now.

- If your pledge did not include either Protect Trans Kids pin, nor the Tylenol pin, nor the restocked hummingbird, then your order has shipped already! I got these out before the holidays, so everyone in this category should have their rewards by now.
- If your pledge does not include the Starry Night Trans pin, nor the Tylenol pin, nor the restocked hummingbird, then your order will be shipping soon! The sword/shield Protect Trans Kids pin arrived just a little while ago and they look great! Pictures below.
- If you don't fit into either of the above - Pins are still in production. So you're still waiting, but we're waiting, too. Haha.
I'd be remiss not to shoutout my next project :D
I'm working on some customizable pride sets based on the phases of the moon. Launches next month!

Project Update: November Update
Hey backers!
I just set your surveys to lock with notice - which means you've got about 48 to make final changes on your pledge managers until they're locked up tight.
With counts in place, I'll be putting pins into production next week.
Those of you who have mystery pin only orders: You should expect to see your orders shipping in the next two weeks!
EDIT (11.23.25 @ 944AM PST)
Sorry, I'm stupid. lol. I went through orders, and it looks like all but three mystery pin orders qualify for the free mini flower pin. Sorry, I overlooked that! All orders will ship around the same time.
This is likely the last update of the year - I'll be back in January with photos from my manu. So have a safe holiday season, all. :)
[Also, if you're looking to do some gift shopping, my holiday market features in-stock items that are shipping Dec 6]

Project Update: Reward Surveys
We're sitting at about 80% completion on reward surveys!
I'll be locking surveys at the end of the week to put pins into production.
This is your reminder to please fill out your survey. I can't ship you anything if I don't have your address!
Also first warning: Surveys not completed when the final package ships will be considered donations. So please fill out that form.

Project Update: Smoke Tests + Surveys
Hey backers!
Thanks for your patience. 🙏🏼 The pledge manager was fighting me a little bit. No matter how many times I set up the back end, there's always something I miss or mess up. Haha.
But I'm happy to report that - thanks to BackerKit support - the pledge manager is finished and live!
Smoke tests went out - which should go out to about 10% of you. Once those come back with no issues, the rest of you will be seeing emails to fill out your pledge manager. 😃
If you backed for an enamel pin (not mystery pin) you'll find that your pledge has been converted to a credit. Instead of listing all the pins I'm offering twice (once for pin selections and again for the pre order store), your pledge credit will let you 'shop' for the pin selections you want.
Your free collab flower pins and mystery pins should auto populate to your cart!
November is going to be very busy (more on that below!), so please expect another update sometime before the end of the year: that's when I'll be locking surveys to send pins into production.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out via email. BackerKit comments aren't always reliable! I can be reached at admin/@/arledgecomics.com
Why is November so busy?
Glad you're still here and reading!
Launching soon: Nezbrael's Legacy
An action adventure graphic novel following one man's journey to secure an ancient relic and discover answers to long-held questions. It's D&D shenanigans with flavors of Indiana Jones and Greek mythology.
Also launching soon! BackerKit's Holiday Market
BackerKit is hosting a holiday market. Each campaign has no funding goal because we're shipping items that already in-stock and ready to be packed and shipped in time for the holidays! I'll be offering holiday bundles of books, pins, or both! Do your holiday shopping with discounts of 30-60%
I'll also be raising money/collecting books for a book drive! When I was a kid, I benefitted from toy drives, and I always wished there were books, too. So even if you have your shopping done already (you're so powerful if so!), I hope you consider helping with the book drive!

Project Update: That's a wrap!
Hey backers!
We're done~
Here's a quick preview of next steps what what to expect.
We're done~
Here's a quick preview of next steps what what to expect.
- Funds release to me in two (2) weeks. During that time, I'll be finalizing pin designs.
- At the end of that two weeks, you should expect to see the pledge manager survey. This two weeks gives me time to build the thing and for everything to port over properly into the pledge manager.
- I tend to leave the pledge manager open for three (3) weeks. This is your opportunity to select the pins you desire + add on anything extra.
- At the close of that period, designs will be sent to my manu for production. Turnaround is typically five (5) weeks.
- Quality checks the following week.
- Shipping the week after that.
All that said, you should expect to see your pins just after the winter holidays!
I'll post updates along the way!
Also - this is in the FAQ and I'll mention this in every update because it can't be said enough: If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to email. I love seeing comments, but they're not an effective way to answer questions or resolve issues. BackerKit is wonderful, but notifications are... lacking. So if you have any questions or need help with anything, please just email at admin/@/arledgecomics.com <3
