Whew, this has already been a really busy week, and it's only Tuesday evening. I've finished the survey nearly a week ahead of schedule! Smoke Test went out just now (that's 5% of surveys to make sure everything is set up correctly). This is completely random so don't feel sad if your survey isn't in! I'll be sending all the rest of them out tomorrow evening, assuming everything goes well.

Make sure you finish your survey by October 21 to be guaranteed you're in the first wave of fulfillment! I'll be ordering all items by November 4 (some items will require more conversation to make sure they turn out correctly, so I'll be working on ordering everything through October 22 - November 4).

I've added a LOT of items from previous Cafe projects, including last year's calendars, coloring books, and stickers, as well as the TTRPG pins, stickers, and more. I hope they will find good homes!

Today I finished formatting the dates section of the calendar, as well as updated some formatting so that the images aren't cut off. All images now have a parchment-esque border so that you can enjoy the full pieces of art designed by Abi! I've also added a slim white border to the coloring pages so that they aren't cut off too much at the edges and the perforation. Everything is looking REALLY cute and I look forward to getting all these goodies out to you!

You are NOT charged for shipping and add-ons immediately. Instead, you will be charged closer to the shipment date. However, you MUST fill out your survey with your shipping address (if you're ordering physical rewards) so that I can know how much I actually need to order. Digital reward only pledges don't need a shipping address but you can't receive your rewards until you've completed your survey.

Please let me know if you have any questions; you can comment here or send me an email at [email protected]. My next update will be in about 3-4 weeks with information about survey progress and how it's going with ordering all the items.

Golden moons!
