Project Update: Most pins shipped!
Hello Everyone!
I dropped off most of everyone's packages at the post office this morning, which means that within the week, most if not all domestic packages should arrive at their destination. International backers will need to wait a little longer, but you should have received a tracking number so you can keep tabs on your package.
If you bought a capybara keychain, your package will ship sometime next week as the packages first need to ship out to my collaborator Brenda's house so she can send out the keychains with those packages.
Finally, there's a small amount of you that have either not completed your surveys or have declined payments, those things will need to be addressed before I can send out your packages. I will continue to monitor the page and try to catch when these issues are addressed as they happen, but I'll be upfront, the longer you take to fix these issues, the less likely I am to see that it's been fixed in a timely manner. So, please take the time now to fix your payment or fill out your survey if you haven't already.
Next Project!
On March 24th, we're launching our next crowdfunding campaign: By Appointment Only! It's a 28 page comic about a modern witch helping someone find their boyfriend (who might be possessed by a demon). It also features this new enamel pin of a no-thoughts-head-empty orange cat named Chester that will only be available through the campaign!
That's all for now, hope you love the pins!

Project Update: Production Update
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to let you guys know where we are production-wise. Sticker sheets and magnets have come in, so all we're waiting on is the pins themselves.
Galaxy Design closed for a week or so at the end of the January which caused them to have a bit of a production delay. According to their estimates, they should be done with the pins and ship them out by the 12th of March. We should be able to get everything shipped out toward the end of March!
Looking forward to starting fulfillment when they come in, the sticker sheets and magnets came out great!

Project Update: Pins and Add-Ons ordered!
As of yesterday, we've got all of our pins and add-ons ordered and in production. The pins will take the longest to make and ship at 2-3 weeks, at which point we'll be all good for fulfillment.
In the meantime, we're still missing about 20% of surveys--if you don't fill those out, I will have no way of knowing your address or which pins you want, so please take the time now to do that if you haven't already!
Thanks again, everyone, I'll let you know when I get an update from Galaxy Design Squad.

Project Update: Surveys Sent!
BackerKit turned around the review faster than anticipated and the smoke test went off without a hitch, so surveys have just been sent out! Check your email (including promotions and spam) and get those filled out asap so fulfillment can happen smoothly the day the pins arrive.
Thanks again to everyone who supported us, and if you know someone who might want a pin that wasn't able to make it in time, the pre-order store is now open as well.
