Greetings Hoarders,

It's been a few weeks since the excitement from the campaign has ended. So much has happened this past month and I can't wait to share some exciting updates! 

💓SURVEYS ARE COMING SOON💓
I finally managed to sort through all the weights and SKUs for this campaign and have sent my survey for review by the amazing BackerKit team. Once everything is approved I will do the first smoke test of surveys to  ake sure I didn't miss anything (5% of you) followed by the rest within 48 hrs. So keep your eyes open over the next few days.

Please complete these ASAP so I know how many of each design to order. I plan to order pins in a week so need at least 90% of surveys completed by next Friday.

We had over $3k in failed pledges for this campaign. If your pledge failed, you can still claim your rewards by completing the survey. You won't be charged until I charge for shipping sometime in April/May. 

This is the highest failed pledges I have had yet. I won't take away any stretch goals, but I do hope that this can be resolved for the majority of you. 

While it can happen for many reasons, the biggest reason pledges fail is because Backerkit has an old expired card on file. So please check your payment information to make sure it's up to date. 

As it happens, payment plan backers won't be able to complete their surveys until the full payment has been received. So you won't receive your survey for another 2 months (I think?) but you should still be able to select your pins then. 

Collaboration pin set: if you backed both Mushroom Hunt and this campaign you should already see this set in your cart.
But to combine shipping, you MUST ⚠️SELECT LOCAL PICKUP IN MUSHROOM HUNT ONLY.⚠️

Complete your address as usual in this campaign as shipping will be tracked through this campaign. And if you select local pick up for both we can't get your pins to you. (Unless you actually live locally then by all means choose it and arrange pick up with me 😊)

If you missed the collaboration, you can add this set to your hoard during the survey.

Returning backers should see their green mini book derpy in their carts 

Early bird & stretch goal rewards are already added to your cart as well as any additional add-ons you added during the campaign.

There was once again a custom commission pin for this campaign by the amazing Cassirole. And she requested a little fan fiction eater inspired by my book wyrm pin:

You can add this guy and any of the other unlocked designs during the pledge manager as well.

Survey add-ons:
There are 3 add-ons unlocked during the campaign which will be available at an exclusive backer price during the survey questions. Once you complete the survey, you will be able to add more at the regular price. 

Did you miss the campaign and want to add these bookish pins to your hoard?

⚠️❤️‍🔥THE PRE-ORDER STORE IS NOW OPEN!❤️‍🔥⚠️

While silence may often appear as idleness, it couldn't be further from the truth. 

In this past month, I not only wrote a whole new novel, but I finished some new derpy dragon designs for a future campaign. My "Derpies on Life" campaign will launch this fall. Here's a little sneak peek:

But while I'm excited about these life Derpies, I'm most excited about the next Derpy Dragon campaign "Dungeons & Derpies". I originally planned an April 1st launch, but life is too busy for the next 2 weeks, so I'll launch it on my birthday instead!

Join us as we adventure into the iconic realm of dungeon crawling with all the shenanigans one can expect from a derpy dragon! It'll be a short 2 week campaign, so don't miss it! Follow it today!

Well I think that was all the important things to talk about. 
I can't wait to see which derpies you guys choose for this campaign!

Greetings Hoarders,

We did it! Thank you so much for helping me create the most amazing campaign I have ever run. Sending you all virtual high fives and hugs! And the derpies agree! Love for all!

For now the hard part is over. Well, for a week or so. Over the next 2 weeks BackerKit will be collecting funds. During this time I'll set up the pledgemanager where you will select your derpies (and give me an idea of how many to order).

We were only 1 backer away from unlocking the Red Dragon book derpy, so I am going ahead and unlocking him as an add on.

Unfortunately we didn't unlock the little inspiring quotes derpy...yet.
I'll add him as a stretch goal add-on during the pledge manager, and if enough people get him, he will unlock as well. Or...we can still unlock him via the achievement link when I get 125 Patreon followers! 

I'll be back in a couple weeks with an update, hopefully on the surveys.

While you wait, you can follow my next two derpy campaigns! (The adventure isn't over yet!)

Dungeons & Derpies - coming April 

Festive Derpies - coming in June/July

Until then, I think I need a giant dragon sized nap...

Greetings Hoarders,

As we enter the final hours of the campaign, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us so far!

Without you, this campaign wouldn't have done as well as it has. I mean, just look at all the little bookish derpies (and their guests)!

Most have already joined the hoard. But there's still two left out in the cold...

The RED DRAGON BOOK DERPY and the adorable Inspiring Quotes by Derpies, derpy.

Naturally, I really want both to unlock. So, I have adjusted the stretch goals to do just that. 😁 (That's the best part about being in control of all the decisions - muahahaha 😈)

The Red Dragon book derpy will now unlock at $24,000 and you can unlock the Inspiring Quotes Derpy one of 2 ways. If we can get 25 people to join my Patreon (free tiers are fine - link is in the achievement below) or if we reach $25,000.

There's still a way you can help even if you already backed without increasing your pledges. You can share the campaign with your friends, family, pet dragon (assuming they have a hoard with real gold), socials and more!

So summon your fellow weirdlings and derplings, and lets finish this campaign strong, together!

Oh and while we count down the hours, go vote on your favourite version of the inspiring Derpy!

And don't forget to back Mushroom Hunt 🍄 to get your Free Inky set!

Yours in art,
Therena

PS: some clarification on the two collaboration pin sets. When you back both Bookish Derpy Dragons AND Mushroom Hunt you get this Inky set FREE.

And because we both reached $5000 in both our campaigns, we unlocked the Mushy set as an add-on, which you can add on either of our campaigns. All profit from this set goes directly into his education fund to help pay for art school so that he can pursue his dream as a professional artist.

We are offering this set at a discounted backer exclusive price during the campaign only ($35 now, $40 after).

If you haven't backed yet, don't wait too long! The campaign ends in less than 2 days!
