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
are you ok
are any of us
why no digital copy rewards?
because i already put them online for free, it'd be weird. theyre on my itchio at http://hekshano.itch.io
Who is doing the printing?
ideally, going with printninja (a suggestion from a fellow cartoonist coop member!) i have worked with them before and they are very good, 10/10
Shipping?
i anticipate shipping by october. i'll put comics in a plastic protective sleeve and ship them in a manilla envelope. bundles of comics (1-5 or 'all of em', whatever) will be shipped in boxes. 'extra safe' shipping is an add-on option where i'll use a plastic envelope and a piece of cardboard to prevent bending. it will not go through the rollers of the USPS postal sorting machines. you do not need this if you are getting a bundle.
youre 'doing better' now?
a lot of that whole 'people should help people' thing helped but tbqh what helped the most i think is: is a combination of medication-that works correctly for you&that only you yourself get to decide- and social relationships where you are listened to and believed both in the professional (medical) and personal life. finding a person who you feel gets you is very important. reading a comic like this one maybe can make you remember you're not alone, but parasocial relationships can not compare with making real connections. theres my cautionary tale. also, don't drink your feelings. seriously do not do it that shit is hard poison with brain damage comparable to serious chemotherapy /trust me i know/
this project is NSFW. how NSFW are we talking?
lotta f bombs, just willy nilly with the fbombos. a real fbombogeniesis. apart from that there's a lot of blood and some gratuitious violence. sexually it's really quite tame. there's drunk snuggling and sideboob.
