Project Update: 🐉⚔️Shipping Update🐉⚔️Patreon Gift & Next campaign🐉⚔️Minor delay🐉⚔️
Greetings Hoarders,
I just wanted to stop by really quickly to let you know where shipping fulfillment is and tell you about my next campaign.
Shipping/fulfillment
Slight delay for pledges with books:
Silly me ordered the wrong box sizes for the books >.< Which means I have to wait for the proper size boxes to come. They are expected to be here by the 23rd. So if your pledge included a physical book, expect these to be shipped in 2 weeks.

Great news! The pins have arrived! Over the next week, I will go through them and make sure everything looks good. But here is a little sneak peek <3

Project Update: 🐉🖤Sneak peeks🖤🐉Progress on manufacturing🖤🐉More Derpies to love🖤🐉
Greetings Hoarders,
Just a quick update to let you know how things are going. Thank you to everyone who completed their surveys ^_^ Pins have now been ordered and are expected to arrive in late January. Which means fulfillment will begin sometime in February. (probably at the same time as my Festive Derpies!)
All the books arrived, and my Dragon's Lair (office) is once more buried in boxes of books. (It is a good problem to have though!)
The books turned out so well ^_^ I love them so much! Thank you for helping me make them a reality!
I am busy getting ready for my Zodiac Derpy Campaign in January and my Pride Derpy campaign in March!
Here are some sneak peeks for you to enjoy! I hope you will follow and back the campaigns in the new year. ^_^
Here is a peek at the sketches I made for the Zodiac Derpies!
There is still time to claim your exclusive pre-launch mini pin!
Some cool ideas for this campaign is a birthday/perpetual Derpy calendar. (If I can source a good printer). I also have my 2 year planner which you can either order now through my website if you want it in January, or during the campaign which features my personal illustrations:
You can also follow my Derpy Pride campaign, which comes to Backerkit in March. Whether you are an ally, or part of the community, I would love to see you there! The reservation pin is still getting designed, so I will reveal that later. (I am trying to see if I can get a cool rainbow effect for them). In the meantime, here is the first look at one of the designs which will have multiple colour options. And if you don't see a flag you want represented, join me on my Patreon and tell me!
Oh, and a brand new feature Backerkit is rolling out is being able to make exlusive rewards for my Patreons who back me. So if you aren't following my Patreon yet, now is a great time to join before I import my Patreons to the system for these exclusive perks and tiers!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!

Project Update: 🖤🐉Surveys & ordering pins🐉🖤 Action required🖤🐉
Greetings Hoarders,
Just a quick little update today to remind you to complete your surveys so I can order the pins, please.
I need at least 85% complete to get the most accurate numbers to order. We are currently at 75% which can really affect my numbers if I don't order enough pins.
If you lost your survey, you can find it here:
https://d-for-derpy-dragon.backerkit.com/
If you already completed your survey, thank you!
I would love to order these pins by Friday. Completing the survey won't charge your card now. That won't happen until I have everything in hand and start fulfilling. Which will be sometime in January.
Good news:
I received all the D is for Derpy Dragons books! I forgot to take a picture, I'll share it in my next update.
Feeling Festive yet?
If you followed my Festive Derpies campaign you might have noticed it hasn't launched yet. I decided to launch it as part of the Backerkit holiday market which launches Nov 18th.
So instead of only 1 week of tinsel and shenanigans you get 2! Which also means it's not too late to get your exclusive mini pin when you reserve your pledge!
You can follow the campaign here.
Unlike most creators only offering existing products, I will run the full festive derpies campaign as part of it. With Canada Post on strike I couldn't promise Christmas deliveries for physical pledges, but all backers will get some digital gifts to tie you over! From colouring pages to a special printable holiday card if you wanted to give them as gifts.
I am also offering all-in discounted bundles in the add-ons for those who missed previous campaigns.
I look forward to seeing you guys in the polls and discussions!
Yours in art,
Therena

Project Update: 🐉🖤Surveys coming soon🐉⚔️Stretch Goals🐉⚔️New Derpy Companion inside!🐉⚔️
Greetings Hoarders,
Wow, I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since the campaign ended! It has been a whirlwind on my end. I took some much-needed R&R family time. We went to see Apocalyptica/Halestrom/Lindsay Stirling in concert! But now I am back to get things done once more.
Surveys - expected late next week:
But, I do have exciting news. There was once again a custom pledge, and the amazing Cassirole, commissioned a new friend for you guys! Meet the "No Adulting" Derpy! He will be added to the add-ons, and backers will get a special price during the pledge manager survey.
I also have the "No AI" Derpy pin design finalized:
What's next?
While you wait for surveys:
In the meantime, I would like to invite you to follow my next two Derpy Dragon campaigns! Both have exclusive mini pins when you reserve your spot BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES! Plus, both will have returning backer mini pins again if we get 100 returning backers!
FESTIVE DERPY DRAGONS:
Festive Derpies is a 5 day pin campaign. And when you reserve your spot you will get this exclusive mini pin with your pledge!
ZODIAC DERPY DRAGONS:
The stars are aligning once more in January for Pintopia when I will launch my Zodiac Derpy Dragons!
The designs are still secret, but if you join my Patreon you will be the first to see them!
Until next time.
Yours in art,
Therena
