Most of you have noticed that I sent out the surveys where you get to select your derpies.
I meant to send this update before I did that, but sometimes I get distracted and do things out of order. 🤦🏽♀️
Regardless, here's the official "surveys are out" update 😅. 61% of you already completed it, thank you!
If you haven't yet, please do so as soon as possible so I know how many of each derpy I need to order. I would like to place the order by Sunday before I go camping. So if we can get at least 85% of surveys done by then I would be very happy.
A few things you will see in the survey:
Add-ons - you will have the opportunity to add more derpies, books & more to your pledge. These won't be charged until I plan to ship everything (sometime in October if all goes to plan)
Stretch goals - I have added two stretch goals to the add ons. The 3" Shadows are Friends sticker (we only need 1 more to unlock it) and the backer pin. If enough of them are added to pledges I will buy both. The pin will be a limited edition. And I'll only buy enough for those who buy it. So if there's only 20 backers it'll be an edition of 20 etc. I am locking this pin add-on on Sunday when I order pins.
Other exciting news
If you have been a fan for a while, you know that I love running campaigns and run anywhere from 3-5 a year. And I still have two more planned or 2024, coming in only a few weeks!
My next campaign is my most ambitious of all, and one I've been working on for over 2 years. It's the sequel to my debut novel "Star Found" - "Star Awakened". And I am going all out this time.
And while the campaign is all about the gorgeous hardcovers, I do have treats for my pin collector backers.
This campaign is a part of Backerkit's Booktopia. And, if you backed any Pintopia campaigns, you know that means lots of FREE loot!
Naturally I had to design pins insp red by my novel for me and my partner. (Because I need more shinies for my hoard!)
You can get this set either as add-ons from us, or FREE when you back both our campaigns! And, we both have not only book tiers, but a special pin tier! (I designed all her art as well)
For my pin tier, I designed my biggest pin yet. This one will be 2"! With glitter & glow in the dark sky! So if you like free pins & deluxe epic fantasy novels, you can follow the campaign before it launches. My goal is to get 100 followers before launch to help push the campaign to new heights on the first day as I want to do a print run!
In the wake of this exciting book campaign, I am running my last campaign of the year. In the same spirit as Pintopia, I have partnered with several of the Pintopia creators to bring to you another pin collaboration: Pintober - Haunted Dragons.
This campaign will feature both darker derpies and regular dragons. Set against the backdrop of a graveyard, these dragons will have a touch of darkness and the features you have come to love in my pins. From serious to derpy.
Details are still being finalized, but like pintopia, we will have Free treats as you explore the sleepy town of Pinner's Hollow
Well, that's all the news for today. I'll touch base once pins are ordered and things start arriving.
I will be taking a much needed break from technology & be out of internet service between Aug 5-22 to refuel my soul. So any messages or emails will be responded to after Aug 22.
