BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
When will bundled items ship to me?
In order for us to offer backers the lowest-cost shipping option, we'll be bundling orders to include all items in your order in one package/ shipment. If your order includes single-issues #1 through #5, for example, then all items in your order would ship once #5 has arrived to our warehouse. For bundles including the TPB, orders will ship once the TPB is available.
What tier should I back to read the full physical comic?
If you'd like to read the full comic in one sitting and don't mind a brief wait, you'll enjoy purchasing the book! This book will contain all five issues of Lilith. If you'd like to read the full comic as issues as soon as they release, you can also choose to have those shipped right to your door monthly in the mail subscription pledge tier. You can customize your order and add on any goodies, including additional covers and rewards, through our add-on section. Thank you!
What's the difference between the Lilith book and Lilith #1-#5 subscription tiers?
The main difference between the Lilith book and the Lilith subscription tiers is the number of items you'll receive and when. The Lilith subscriptions reflect the first arc's release starting in 2024 and concluding in early 2025. The book will be released shortly after the conclusion of the series run, and will contain the all 5 issue's worth of comics as well as additional material. If you enjoy a range of covers and enjoy reading your comics as they release, you'll probably like the physical or digital subscription tiers! But if you're happiest when reading the full series in one sitting, the physical or digital book will be the way to go.
Can I purchase a physical add-on with my digital pledge?
Yes, you definitely can. We'll be calculating your total shipping cost and sending that along via BackerKit's PledgeManager after the conclusion of the campaign. You'll of course only be charged shipping for the item you backed.
Can I get one of the add-on items by itself?
Sure! If we didn't offer the item you were hoping to grab, send us a message and we'll see what we can do.
Is Lilith an 18+ comic?
Nothing Lilith encompasses the horror and romance genres, which means there will be some sensual interactions depicted, a bit of skin and fashion if you will! Lilith the character was borne from sexy, empowered pin-up art, and that theme continues in the comics. That said, there will not be overtly sexual material in the comic. We do, however, wish to celebrate and emphasize the range of Lilith's covers by offering some exceptional pieces from NSFW artists. Check out the pledge section to find out more!
Will there be violence or nudity in this comic?
Yes, Lilith is a horror comic that will feature violent scenarios, some light enjoyable sexy scenarios, as well as some sexually coercive scenarios that liiikely end in violence for the perpetrators. The story of Lilith is a light-hearted adventure, so the violence depicted is all in good fun and is not representative of real-world violence. Check out the art in our campaign for a good sense of what we mean by this (and, if having entrails scattered around your staircases and breakrooms is your norm, I am very sorry, the smell must be horrendous). If this content disturbs you, we completely understand and respect that... we suggest checking out a different project from Vault Comics instead!
Does this comic feature any queer representation?
If a story centered around two wildly-mismatched gals becoming pals entices you to find out more, we don't think you'll be disappointed.
Why is shipping to my country so high?
It’s out of our control, unfortunately, but global shipping prices are on the rise worldwide. We have provided a shipping table in our campaign, but we're working alongside our fulfillment partner to find the best possible price for our supporters outside of the United States. We're also offering a wide range of digital products to make sure that every backer has the chance to enjoy this series to the fullest!
