Hi backers and followers, I'm sending a quick update about added stretch goals and some FAQ.
UK Cross-Collab Backers
I was informed UK cross-collab backers, who are pledging to the Cryptid Crushes campaign, will be making their pledge via Etsy, coordinating with HoloRaindrops via email. If you are one of these backers and would like to qualify for the cross-collab pin from this campaign (Dark Watcher), please make sure to send your Backerkit email to HoloRaindrops. I'll be asking them for the list of backers to confirm everything. Make sure this email matches with the one I will have on record or I won't be able to confirm you backed both campaigns! Also please make sure you send your order and information to HoloRaindrops before the campaigns end, I'll only be pulling the list once and if you're late you'll miss out.
As for the collection collab pin (Nightmare Portrait): I'm not planning to do this special handling for campaigns other than Cryptid Crushes at this time. Let me know in the comments if you would qualify for the collection collab pins but there's some unusual circumstance with the other campaigns you've backed, such as making your pledge on Etsy, and I can chat with the other creators about what to do. But if it gets too confusing to coordinate among all of us you may have to just pledge to other campaigns to qualify.
Pay Over Time
I've enabled this option for the campaign. Let me know how it goes if you use it, since it's my first time trying this feature out.
New Stretch Goals
Thank you for everyone who voted in the stretch goals poll! I've decided to add an additional community pin design to the campaign, and four designs I had planned as preorder pins. For the additional community pin design, I will be selecting the next most popular ideas from each of the posts linked below. I will be picking the winning ideas in about two days on Tuesday, March 25 - so please add ideas and vote by then.
Theme: you can cast your votes by "liking" the themes commented on the post, or if you have an idea for a new theme you can comment that. The theme with the most likes will be selected.
Monster: I've pitched a few ideas in the comments but just like with Theme, you can comment if you have your own idea and the most-liked monster idea will be selected.
Twist: An optional twist on the design! This can be anything, such as the monster's occupation, an idea for an accessory, etc.
I will also be adding the following four designs to the campaign, please note I have not yet finalized pin details and artwork for some of these designs and they are subject to change. After these designs, I could add maybe 1-2 more sets of pins depending on how our funding is going. Here are some of the designs I had in mind, not pictured are variants of my Pride Angels pins which I could also add. Please note these designs are also subject to change and I haven't yet worked out all the pin details. You can vote in the attached pollfor your favorites to add! That's all for this update, as always you can leave your questions in the comments.
