Project Update: THANK YOU and what's next
Hi everyone!
We just wanted to send a quick update on what to expect in the next few weeks as we kick off production 💫
The remainder of August will be largely taken by processing payments. Most backers will already have been charged by now, but if you get a notification of a failed payment from BackerKit, please make sure to address it promptly. While we wait for the funds to be released, we will also be finalising work on the physical drafts of the zines. Our contributors already have the latest draft for review, and we'll make sure to do some extra proofreading before sending the files off to print!
We expect to be placing orders with our different manufacturers around early September/late August. Taking into account proofs and the time it takes for stuff to get from our manufacturers to us, we estimate to (hopefully 🤞) have all the zines and merch ready to ship by the end of September. Once we do, we will open surveys and collect addresses and shipping costs. We want to wait until we have most of the actual goods so we can weight them and provide you all with the most fair shipping prices we can manage. We expect the cost of shipping a bundle with both zines to be around our estimates, if not a bit lower (once again, crossing fingers!). We'll also open our pre-order store for digital fanzines around this time, for anyone that may have missed the campaign. We know a lot of people prefer to not have the interior content "spoiled", so digital rewards won't be available until at least one or two weeks after all packages have been shipped to backers, to ensure everyone has a chance to get their hands on their physical hardcover copies first. The one exception is the digital version of Volume 1. If you got it as an add-on, you can expect to have it available as a digital download shortly after surveys first go out .
Once everyone has safely received their orders, we'll open a leftovers store here on BackerKit with anything we have left, tally up the numbers, and make the final donation to NOAGE and the PCRF ❤️
We'll make sure to keep you all updated with any news regarding production, surveys, and shipping here. Thank you SO much for your incredible support for this little fan project. We can't wait to get these beauties out and into your hands 🥰
Love,
The TDV Fanzine Mod Team
