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!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
💓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.
🥺 Failed pledges: 🥺
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.
Payment Plan Pledges
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.
‼️Important reminders:‼️
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.
Speaking of add-ons.
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?
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!
