Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to pop in and let you know that surveys are out! There are a few notes regarding these:

If y'all could fill out the surveys at your earliest convenience, that would great! The sooner we get most of the surveys completed, the sooner I can get accurate counts and get the items into production. ^^

If there are any issues with your survey or you have questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] or message me on Instagram. I don't always see posts or comments on here and we don't get notified all the time. I am also out of the country right now, so expect a slight delay in responses since due to the time differences. 

Unless there’s a large issue with the survey I didn’t see in the smoke test results, I probably won’t make an update until closer to the middle or and of the month. I have the artwork sent into the Manu already, so once I get numbers, production should start fairly quick. 

Thank you, and I hope you all have a great day!

Hi everyone!

Thank you all so much for the last two and a half weeks! I'm glad to announce that all 18 pins have been funded!

Backerkit will start working on processing all payments. In the next few days, you will be receiving an email whether your payment has processed or errored.

If you have errored payments, please get these corrected asap so the next steps can move along smoothly.

Surveys:

Surveys will be sent out in approximately a week or so. During that time, you will be able to confirm your pledge, add on any items you may have missed during the campaigns, and set up payment for shipping.

I will have some slots open for custom stickers and keychains. You will be able to choose from the 4 original designs (Frolic, Nestle, Reverie, and Bloom) as well as the flag colors of your choosing. There will be a limit of 1 custom per backer to give others a chance to have their flag represented, and it's only for flags that weren't in the campaign. If there are duplicate requests, I'll increase the slots to compensate.

I'll also have two new items! One is for a pin version of the pride mask. It will be an unlockable item, so if it doesn't fund during the survey, you won't be charged for it!

I'll also have a tote bag. Please keep in mind that this is only a mock up. I did this really last minute yesterday, and have to make adjustments with my manu. I plan on making sure the kitsune's ear isn't so close to getting cut off at the top. I'm hoping to have official sample photos before surveys go out, so this is just a placeholder for now.

For those of you who missed out during the campaign, the pre-order store is now OPEN. You will be able to purchase items from the store and receive them at the same time as backers. The only items I haven’t added in yet were the tote bag and sticker book. I am waiting for them to import on the back end so I can get them added since they were added/edited mid-campaign. They should be up within a couple days though.

Preorder Fluffy Tails- Pride Kitsune Pins on BackerKit

**PLEASE NOTE: If you have backed this project, please wait until you receive your survey to add on items. If you utilize the preorder store, you will be charged for shipping twice. The same items will be available during the survey.**
_________

It's also worth mentioning that I will be out of the country starting Sunday through April 14th. I will still have access to emails and will be checking in periodically, especially once surveys go out. If you have any questions, please know that responses may be slightly delayed due to time differences.

Again, thank you all for such a great campaign!

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I wanted to let you know that I have added new stretch goals to the campaign!

For the polls, I was looking for specific numbers to be able to make variants or new designs of. There were 4 that had enough interest for a variant and the disability flag had enough interest for a new design.

I hope you like them!

All new designs including the disability pin are all standard pins, so they’ll be additional options you can choose from if they fund. 

Unless something major happens, I’ll probably won’t update much again until after the campaign ends next week. In the meantime, I’ll be working on getting the survey up and ready to go!

Thank you, and I hope you have a great week!

H!

Sorry for pinging ya’ll twice in a week, but I wanted to let you know that I added a new poll!

I went through the comments in previous updates and created a poll based on those. 

This is not necessarily a poll that will be based on the highest votes. This is for me to be able to gauge if making pins of specific flags will be doable in general since MOQ costs can get pretty high. This will let me gauge if I should do specific flags as extra variants of previous designs, or if I can make a new design for a set of them. 

Feel free to vote which ones you would like to see next. If there are multiple you would be interested in, you can always leave a comment as extra votes. Also if there’s a flag that isn’t in the poll, you can comment with that one as well and react to others ^^

While I would absolutely love to make a pin of every flag, that’s just not doable cost wise. Due to this, I have decided that post campaign, if there wasn’t enough interest for a pin in a flag you’d like, I will be opening up custom stickers or keychains in the surveys. These would be limited to the current standard pin designs (and any future ones if more are added).

This poll will end on Monday. I’ll be hopefully working on something new for ya’ll in the meantime and then have a game plan in place. This campaign ends on the 25th, so I’ll be launching any possible new designs next week ^^

Thank you, and I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
