Project Update: Fulfillment Nearly Complete! Plus: an update on Canadian packages
Hello hello, backers of Paradise Lust!
We hope you've all been enjoying your copies arriving in the mail! Thanks so much for the kind words we've gotten over email, comments on here, or through social media; it means the world to not only see these books have gotten to their new homes safe and sound, but also you're enjoying them since you helped make it happen. 😇❤
According to our correspondence with our fulfillment partners at White Squirrel, it sounds like we almost have fulfillment entirely wrapped up, save for some INTL orders and specialty stateside orders (as well as some possible resends: if you're a stateside backer of the EARLY SUMMONINGs tier, please check your email for a head's up on your books)! Regarding our Canadian backers and the most-recent postal worker strike: after correspondence with White Squirrel (and their own communications with postal representatives), they've been advised to continue shipping as normal; your book won't be refused entry into the system, but it will probably take a little extra time to head your way. If you fall under the Canadian postal strike and haven't received your parcel yet or want to know the status of your package (or have any other shipping-related questions), please email [email protected] with your backer number/Backerkit-associated email.
That should be all for now! As always, if you have any other questions about Book of Shadows, email us at [email protected]. Soon you'll be able to see Paradise Lust copies in PNW, queer-friendly book stores, so keep an eye out for 👼👁 visions of angels out in the world …👁👼
Thank you all again for your support, and we'll be back!
Best,

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Books delivered, addresses lock Oct. 1st! IRL Launch Party Oct. 3rd!
Hello hello, backers of Paradise Lust!
Fantastic news, faithful followers; our books have made landfall with our fulfillment friends White Squirrel in Everett, WA, and will begin fulfillment in the beginning of October! 📚 This means that, for those of you that already have your surveys completed and orders locked, your addresses will begin the 48-hour locking countdown on October 1st. This means you will have a 48 hour window to verify your address is still correct through your Backerkit survey, or update it if you've made changes to your address since its initial submission. If you have any issues preventing you from editing your address or you are unable to update your address due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact us at [email protected] ASAP or before October 1st. As of now, we still have 60+ people that need to complete their surveys, so please make sure those are filled out so we can deliver you gifts from on high!
Next up in exciting news: want a chance to see the book IRL and meet the editors behind Paradise Lust? If you live in the Seattle area, you're in luck: we'll be at Outsider Comics on October 3rd, 6PM for a Launch Party commemorating Paradise Lust's arrival and fulfillment!
Check out their Instagram for further news and updates, and we hope to see you there!
As a parting blessing: let us share with you visions from on high of a certain devil that comes bearing delicious debauchery...
Talk to you soon, and thank you all again for your support!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Mini-update: New PDF Distribution Link Up! Have YOU filled out your survey yet? 🙏 👼
Hello hello, backers!
Just a quick update here from our BackerKit orchestrator here: we were seeing folks having trouble accessing their PDFs right away, so we've changed/updated the distribution for both BUFFOMET and the PARADISE LUST digital PDFs! You should have received an extra email containing your download links, but comment below or contact Backerkit Support if you're still having trouble accessing these. We're also working on allowing people who wanted to add on physical items to their PDF-only tiers, so hang tight and we or Backerkit support will be in touch ASAP!
We still have ~25% of backers who need to respond to your survey, so fill those out ASAP to ensure your rewards are sent to you as soon as everything's ready to roll! Thanks again everyone, and have a wonderful rest of your week!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: Surveys are ✨👼OUT👼✨! Rewards inbound!
Well, this update is what it says on the tin: our books are orbiting their landing port and soon bound for our shipping partners White Squirrel in Everett! The time we’ve been waiting for is here: backer surveys are being SENT OUT over the weekend, and your finalized digital BOOK OF SHADOWS PDFs are ready to download! 👼✨
Please fill out your emails and pay for your shipping ASAP so we can ensure that, once our books/add-ons are accounted for and all of White Squirrel’s shipping materials for this project are sorted, we can start up fulfillment and finally get these books into your hands! Paradise Lust matches its sibling book Buffomet at around a pound and a half/just about two pounds, and our White Squirrel friends have secured us the best possible shipping rates on the market for our INTL backers when packaging weight is also accounted for. At the end of the survey is where you’ll also find download links for your pledged PDFs, so don’t forget to access and add those to your digital library!
We estimate fulfillment to taper from mid-September into October, and we’ll be locking down addresses once White Squirrel tells us we’re ready to go. You’ll receive a 48 hour notice before addresses/surveys are locked, so if you have any special requests or factors that prevent you from confirming an address during this timeframe, shoot us an email at [email protected] and we’ll get you sorted from there.
That’s all for now! The last pieces of the campaign puzzle are our hand-cut bookmarks and Baphbino standees; we’ll have photos of those around the same time our books land in Everett. :) Look for future updates from us regarding ship-outs, address lock-ins, and as always: thank you for your initial support! We can’t wait for you to see these beauties in person, and be sure to fill out those surveys ASAP!

When is it estimated that surveys will go out? I saw end of July and haven’t received mine.
