We are overwhelmed by the support for our first ever crowdfunding campaign. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! We hope you know how much we appreciate you supporting a small queer-owned business like ours, especially when shops like ours need it most.

Over the next couple weeks, you can expect to receive a survey via email where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchase any additional add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. We will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out so that you don't miss it.

We will have all of the pins, stickers, and accessories offered in the campaign as well as some other queer/bookish goodies available for you to add-on to your pledge. The Pre-Order Store will also open when surveys go out for those who missed out on pledging to the campaign.

Payments have begun processing for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey. There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on December 31, 2025.

Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs, you will not receive your rewards.

You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and we can manually update your shipping address. Please let us know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so we can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify us of an address change and your package is returned to us, you will incur additional shipping charges before it can be resent. You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.
