• If your initial pledge payment failed, you will still have the opportunity to correct it during the survey. You can check to see if your payment had gone through by going to "Your Pledges & Surveys" and clicking on "View Pledge" next to the Mythical Bards campaign.
• You will not be charged for any additional add-ons or shipping right away. They will be charged after surveys are locked. Right now, the goal is to officially lock surveys on September 30 and charge cards on October 3.
• The pre-order store is also now open. If you missed pledging during the campaign itself, now's your chance to guarantee access to your favorite pins or stickers! Pre-orders are also not charged immediately and will follow the same locking and charging schedule as the campaign pledges do.
  • Please note: If you pledged during the campaign, you can ignore the pre-order store. You have access to all the same items as add-ons through your survey.

Heading Into Production

• I'm hoping to place pin and sticker orders within the week. I'd like to see us reach roughly 60-70% of surveys answered so I can get a solid understanding of what we're looking at for numbers, but we're already at over 40% of surveys filled out, which is amazing! I'm expecting the proofing process to take some time due to the complexity of the designs, which is why I'd like to get these started sooner than later, but I'll be sure to keep you all in the loop as we move through proofing!
• The new dragon pin is almost unlocked! We just need three more dragon pin orders and our dragon bard will be moving into production, too. The dragon feels like such a good addition to the other three bards, I'm so thrilled with how all four came out and I'm glad that you're all loving them, too!
• One more add-on sticker sheet for the journal fans. When I was thinking through sticker sheets, I really wanted to design an option that could be on theme and fun but also practical. As storytellers, I figured the best way to support our bardic friends would be to support the storytelling (or writing) process itself! This 4"x6" matte sticker sheet has a few different options for supporting your journaling, writing, or storytelling processes (including some pointing arms/fins/wings from each of our mythical bard friends). There might still be some minor tweaks to some of the colors and layout (and please let me know if there's a journal-related sticker that you find super helpful!), but take a look!

More Mythical Bards?!
