Exciting news! I have now packed 2/3 of all pledges, and will mail them out at the end of this week! That still leaves about 3 pledges to pack and fulfill. I will finish those this coming weekend, and hope to ship all the books and pins by the end of next week!
1/3rd of the packages sorted and ready to ship
In order to get backers who backed both "D" for Derpies and "Festive Derpies" campaigns, I am fulfilling them simultanously, hopefully saving time so you can get all your pins at the same time!
The fulfillment setup - two campaigns side by side
I am really excited to get these pins and books to you!
Thank you so much for your patience in waiting for them. Since there are so many pins/books and backers, and only me and my little helpers, there is always a chance that we might miss something or mix up an order despite triple checking everything. If you have any problems with your pledges once you get it, please email me at [email protected] and I will make it right.
I just wanted to stop by really quickly to let you know where shipping fulfillment is. I had hoped to pack the majority of packages today...but then I realized that I forgot to order the stretch goal stickers for this campaign >.< All the stickers are now ordered and will be here by the 23rd. So there is a slight delay for pledges with stickers. Others have shipped (if no stickers were in it) and you should be receiving an email with your tracking number next week when Canada Post processes my order.
Failed Payments
There are still a few failed pledges. Please double-check if your CC was charged. If not, just update it if you want your package to go out when I put them all together!
In the meantime, I have a month FREE gift, if you want to check out my Patreon where you can follow along my art journey. (For new Patreons) From exclusive perks during crowdfunding to pretty (or spicy) art in your inbox, there is much to enjoy! This is also where you can vote on future campaigns and themes!
Here's a little sneak peek of what you can find on my Patreon!
Here is a FREE month gift if you want to check out my Naughty Muse tier! Here is a sneak peek of the most recent art I shared on there.
While you wait, be sure to follow my next campaign and claim the EXCLUSIVE mini pin before launch!
They look so pretty in person! I will be charging cards in 48 hrs. And I plan to start fulfillment early February at the same time as my "D" for Derpies campaign.
This will take a few weeks to go through everything. Please ignore the blurry pictures...my cell didn't want to focus so closely on the little ones.
While you wait for your little treasures to arrive, I would love to invite you to my Zodiac Derpies campaign which is currently running.
And if you open this update on Friday, there is still time to claim the FREE early bird reward ^_^
Also, today I shared the Derpy-scope for Scorpios! I would love to see you all there in the community whether you back or now! I love chatting with everyone ^_^
Great news! In the next couple of days, you should see your surveys in your inbox. I apologize for the delay, but the holidays took more out of me than I had planned. Luckily, I already ordered the pins, so there won't be a delay in getting your pins to you. And I ordered many extras so even if you are on the payment plan, there should be enough for everyone to get what they want.
Please complete the survey as soon as you get it. Smoke tests will go out in about 3 days. (I am just waiting for the Backerkit team to give me the green light to make sure there are no issues).
So keep your eyes on your inbox over the next couple of days!
There are so many Free gifts you can get in this campaign too! The most notable when you back early, or are one of my Patreons! Just check it out!
FREE MINI PIN - when you back me and my collaboration partner
EXCLUSIVE MINI PIN - Reserve your pledge before the campaign launches!
FREE STICKER - all paying Patreons who back 3+ pin tiers
You can join my Patreon here before the campaign launches (and claim 1 month FREE in my Naughty Muse tier if you are new)

I hope to see you there for some Celestial Shenanigans! And by popular request, I will also have a Zodiac Derpy Perpetual Calendar featuring all the Zodiac Derpy art!
Sparkly Derpies not your thing? You can follow my second Derpy campaign, Pride Derpies, here!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! Yours in art, Therena
Just a quick update to let you know how things are going. I have run into some delays in putting together the surveys, but hopefully I will have them ready for you before next week. Don't worry, this won't delay fulfillment.
In the meantime, you can download the colouring page stretch goal (if you are a backer) from the backer-only section below. The Holiday cards are also included in the PDF.
I ordered the pins, however, and they are estimated to be here by Jan 22nd. <3 So, I will start fulfillment in February for this campaign ^_^. I also wanted to let you know that I ordered two versions of the custom pin design because I love them both. These will be available as add-ons in the surveys.
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!
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. In the meantime, here is the first look at one of the designs which will have multiple colour options.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season! Yours in art, Therena
PS: 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!
