Project FAQ
The Cryptozoology Bookcase is my cross collaboration pin! I've partnered with Violet Magician and we've each created a special pin that blends together the themes of our campaigns. Backers who support both campaigns receive a cross collaboration pin from each of us for free.
The Cryptozoology Bookcase pin is a collaboration exclusive item you can earn by backing both Made by Max Designs and Violet Magician's campaigns during Pintopia! When you back both campaigns, you'll receive a full size exclusive pin from each of us. This pin will NOT be available as an add-on during the campaign. Go support Violet Magician's Cryptid Carousel - Pride Flag Edition campaigns: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/violet-magician/cryptid-carousel-pride-flag-edition Leftovers from the campaign may be available on Max's website/Etsy after pledges fulfill, but they'll cost at least $20 + shipping. Backing a pin from Violet Magician's campaign to receive two free pins would only cost $16 + shipping. 😉
Yes! The 1" Cryptozoology mini bookcase pin will be an option for any pledge or add-on item that includes a Bookshelf Mini Pin.
Yes! I am able to include the Cryptozoology, Banned Books, Arts and Crafts, and Spicy Romance Bookcase stickers to the "Bookcase Vinyl Sticker Set" add-on for no additional charge. That means you can get 14 waterproof 3.5" vinyl stickers for $30!
Yes! I will be adding the Cryptozoology, Banned Books, Arts and Crafts, and and Spicy Romance Mini Bookshelf designs to the sticker sheet that will be included as a freebie for all pledges.
Unfortunately I don't have time to create bookmark designs for all of the genres by the end of the campaign. The five bookmark designs that will be available are: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, LGBTQ+, and Gardening.
The "Library" and "Complete Collection" pledge levels are both quantity based and include 10 mini pins and 10 full sized pins. You will be able to select from any of the available designs, including the added Banned Books, Arts and Crafts, and Spicy Romance genres or the Cryptozoology Mini Bookshelf Pin. Because of the cost of pins, I'm unable to add all of the bonus genres to these pledge levels for free. I know a most folks at these tiers were hoping to get everything, so I'll be offering a steeply discounted "Expansion Pack" to close the gap. The Expansion Pack will cost $60 and include 3 full size pins, 4 mini pins, and three Bookcase stickers. This will allow you get select one of everything if you want! Expansion packs will be limited to 1 per person and will only be available to backers at the Library or Complete Collection tiers.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
