In the immortal words of Hannibal Smith, I love it when a plan comes together. Thank you to everyone who backed this campaign!

Now, we move on to the next stage of the process: I have to admit, I'm not entirely clear on when Backerkit will collect your initial pledge and send the funds my way, but it will happen. I already have the pledge manager ready, including the option to buy add-ons from the Ramen Sandwich Press catalogue. I'll submit it for approval very soon, and I expect it will function pretty much like the Backerkit post-campaign store we used to open after every Kickstarter.

Not gonna lie, it took me almost an entire day to assemble the pledge manager this time and it was a real pain in the ass. I was hoping that Backerkit would let me import items from my previous Backerkit stores, but I guess that would have made it just too easy. We can't have that, now can we. I get the feeling that Backerkit has put its various functions in silos, so that its relatively new functions — hosting primary campaigns and pledge managers — are effectively sealed off from its old post-campaign store business. So I had to create all 32 listings manually, which is not terribly difficult from a mechanical point of view, but it is brain-numbing and requires periodic breaks to uncross my eyes.

I didn't even dare make any entries for Ramen Sandwich Tees items, because, with with possible size and color combination being a separate SKU, it would have become a nightmarish spider web of separate items that I would have to double- and triple-check for mistakes that got input when by mind went blank. I'd still like you all to check out Ramen Sandwich Tees and buy whatever you find interesting, but I'll just direct you to our website instead.

I'll be in touch soon to let you know about the next steps after the next step!
