Project FAQ
If you pledge at the custom pin level, I'll work with you to design a custom 1.65" / 42 mm pin design and will get 200 soft enamel pins made for you. The main constraint is that it must be monster-adjacent! You'll also get all of the unlocked pins from the campaign. Unsure of whether or not your idea would be a good fit? Reach out via email first at [email protected] and let's chat!
You'll have either 30 days or until May 30th to send in your backer surveys, whatever is longer. After that, your pledge will be seen as a kind donation to the cause. I'll be sending out updates every week from when they go out until lock date, so as long as you're checking whatever email is associated with your BackerKit account, you'll hear about it.
The pin designs are all locked and loaded, but please be aware that while I'm sending in Pantone colors, there are thousands of more colors on your screen than Pantone swatches, so the pins may look slightly different to what you see here.
All pins larger than 1" will have two posts so they don't swivel around on your board or jacket.
Yes, you heard me right - FREE PINS. If both this campaign AND Moo Moo Ink's Flirtatious Fungass campaign get funded, then you'll receive BOTH collaborative pins - one from me (in my case, Fungal Infection) and one from Moo Moo Ink. Regardless, if this campaign gets up to $3000 (thus unlocking all the planned designs), every backer will be getting a 1" Order of the Dark Wheel pin sent to them also for free. That means that if y'all support both of us, you could be getting 3 free pins!
As a backer, you can vote in polls to decide which stretch goal gets unlocked next before the next $300 milestone is hit. Polls might come quick and often once the campaign reaches it's first goal, so make sure you get the campaign updates in your priority inbox! If y'all just blow past all the unlocking stretch goals, I reserve the right to just unlock all the pins :D
A new pin will unlock every $300 over the $900 campaign funding goal (until $3000). As a backer, you get to vote to determine what the next unlocked pin will be! Friendly reminder that you can help unlock stretch goals by pledging for everything you hope to get as your rewards, not just what's unlocked now! Remember that you can change your mind - you can upgrade, change, downgrade, or cancel (this will only slightly hurt my feelings) your pledge anytime before the campaign ends on April 18th.

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.
