Hello everyone,
 
some of you may have noticed your payments for this campaign have not gone through. Stripe has informed us they will not process payments on this campaign.

We have spoken with them twice now and they are reviewing this. Their staff informs us we are not in violation of any policies, but their word does not appear to hold much value. We spoke with Stripe just the other day to get out ahead of the banning they have been doing and were informed "we guarantee your account is fine."

This does not seem the case. They are claiming we violate their rules for adult content. Let me be clear: Astral Ticket Comics does not make pornography. Our comics feature tasteful nudity and suggestive humor, but not actual pornography.

We have been informed by Stripe several times our work does not violate policy to the extent where, during my phone call with them today, even they were confused about this. I am working to rectify this situation and will not sleep until this is solved.  They claim this will be reviewed and resolved within 48 hours.

I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED! 

Until then, let's plan for a worst case scenario. Suppose Stripe does strike this down and refuse to process the payout, or can no longer process the payout which would require a re-run of the campaign. I will put it to vote if this comes up but these would be the options: 

Option A: I can bill each of you directly via Paypal or Squarespace and you will receive everything you've asked for. In case there is concern on this, Astral Ticket is a registered corporation with the United States government which means we have full accountability by law to give you what you pay for. And we always will. 

Option B: An option only if Stripe realizes their mistake, we can re-run the campaign. 

Option C: According to Stripe, who's word holds small value at this point, our Kickstarter account is absolutely fine and has violated no terms. We could offer everything from this Digital campaign on the upcoming Pure Intent #3 campaign there. 

These are my options as of now, but nothing is concrete. I will keep you informed. Any positive thoughts you can send are appreciated.

Hello everyone,

we have good news. While we are still fighting with Stripe to get the suspension reversed. Cremisi absolutely does not violate their terms of service. Whom Stripe decides to take issue with appears to be chosen at complete random, with projects far far more promiscuous than Cremisi getting a greenlight. That's all for the bad news.

 The good news is Stripe has informed me the campaign funds will still be sent along to us.

While this is not perfect news, it is good news. They claim the payout will happen in about 10 days. Once that happens, I will send out surveys. Let me be clear: We are absolutely getting you your rewards! All promises will be kept, one way or another. The previous update listed our worst case scenario options.

For now, I'd like to invite you to join our Discord where you can hang out, get more complete updates, preview our upcoming campaigns, see foxy artwork in its entirety, and sometimes we stream movies and video games.

Stripe states our Kickstarter account has no issues and is good to go. As such, I am moving forward with Pure Intent # and Izumi's Lessons #3 on Tuesday the 21st. Pure Intent is the prequel to Cremisi so please check it out and get the full story. How do they tie together? Hmm, I wonder if any savvy readers can figure it out.

Thank you for your amazing support and sticking with me through this. No legitimate creator should have to jump through these hoops. I hope all of us, from content creator to content viewer, can work together in some capacity to protect the integrity and value of our work.

Hello space travelers,

I am in absolute awe of your support. I believed this campaign might, on a good day, make 800 when finished. But here we are at over 2000% more than I truly anticipated! THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We are so touched by your support. We're going to have one of our artists make a special thank you Desktop Wallpaper with the Cremisi crew which will be EXCLUSIVE to you all for absolutely free. Please consider this my heartfelt thank you for your support.

Even writing this I find myself fighting back tears of joy. I'll be on Death Metal Hero's show tonight at 9 eastern to talk about this campaign and our upcoming Kickstarter on the 21st. I hope you'll come by as I'd relish the opportunity to thank you personally.

I will be getting surveys and everything out ASAP! Backerkit's systems are still a bit new to me so I apologize for any delays. We'll check everything over tonight and once the payment goes through surveys will come and your downloads will be available. All rewards are already uploaded and ready to be sent! We just need to wait for everything to clear.

THANK YOU so much! I hope to see you all on Tuesday for the Kickstarter Launch of Pure Intent #3 (the finale to Cremisi's prequel) and a brand new lesson with Mistress Izumi's ADULT Lessons #3. 

We here at Astral Ticket Comics cannot wait to get these digital beauties in your hands. Thank you so very much! More updates to come soon. THANK YOU!

Hey space travelers,

these are the FINAL DAYS of our first-ever Backerkit campaign. Don't miss out on these digital delicacies!

A new achievement has been added! At 4k, just barely above where we are right now, all backers will receive a digital 3d gallery of Shay's ship, the Purgatory. Originally, we wanted to make a 3d-printed model of the ship but were never able to do so. Now, you can get this never-before-seen 3d art of this gorgeous ship designed by J. Quick.

Let's take a look at all the freebies you're getting with this campaign.
