The books are on their way! They are in transit, somewhere on the ocean, making their way to Jemma's house. They are set to arrive in early December. We are currently working on getting everything ready for fulfillment when they come! Because of this, we need to be locking the surveys SOON. We need to start ordering the other fun things you bought, and the surveys tell us exactly what we need to get!
There are about 20 backers who have not filled out their survey. If you are having troubles with anything, please reach out to us so we can help! If you have lost the link to the survey, worry not! I'll leave one down below.
After we lock orders, you will be unable to change your survey responses and your cards will be charged.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, let us know! We are so excited for the books to arrive and will continue to keep you all updated!
I just wanted to send a little update out letting you know that the survey is pretty much ready to go and test surveys have been sent out! The test survey went out to a small number of you first, that way I can make sure everything is running how it should before I send it out to everyone. So if you've gotten your survey in your inbox, be sure to fill it out soon and let me know if you run into any problems! All surveys should be sent out to everyone by the end of the week.
Book Update: I'm excited to say that the books are currently at the printers and will begin their journey across the ocean to Jemma's house in the next few days! We are really excited for how the book is looking so far and are excited to have the final product in hand!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us via email at jemmayoung.studios (at) gmail.com or contact Jemma on her Discord.
Hi everyone, I just wanted to give you a quick little update on how things are progressing!
For those who are familiar with my work, you know that I pretty much do stuff solo around here, from story writing, art, publishing, and fulfillment. But I can only get so much done doing stuff on my own. So I'm excited to introduce my new crowdfunding manager, Welsh Dragon. She's helping with the surveys and fulfillment on this campaign. So don't be surprised when you get campaign updates from her instead of me! This will help me focus on getting the book to print and making more comic pages.
Speaking of getting the book, I just finished up final edits on the book! I'll be submitting files today so they are ready for the printer once they are back from their holiday. Then I'll be working on the final design for the acrylic stand and then it's on to creating the art for Eldair chapter 26!
Surveys are a little delayed as I had to focus on SLC FanX, which was last weekend and I'm training Welsh on how to use Backerkit's Survey software (Which is a doozy.) I'm crossing my fingers to have surveys ready in about a week.
I also just launched a very short Kickstarter Campaign for this book for those who didn't want to use the Backerkit platform. For those of you who had problems with your payment going through, feel free to check out the Kickstarter and pledge there.
As always, thanks for supporting me and my work! This book is going to be beautiful!
Hi everyone! The campaign is over we hit some awesome stretch goals! The book will now contain 12 extra pages and gold foil on the cover. Thank you all so much for contributing to the success of this project!
Now that the campaign is over, Backerkit will be charging cards on file. Backerkit has a 2 week period where it will be collecting funds and allow backers to update and fix any payment problems. After those two weeks, I'll be getting those funds to pay for the books!
After those two weeks, I will be sending out the surveys via Backerkit where you will fill out your shipping information and pay for shipping and tax. You'll also be able to add on any extra goodies you might want. This survey will also be how you get your digital rewards. You'll also be able to let me know any extra details I might need to fulfill your reward such as what bookmark design you might want or which characters you want drawn on your bookplate or as a sketch. I'll be giving you a heads up for when this survey will go live, but it should hit your inbox early October.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! Thank you so much for helping make this project a success! This would not be happening without you and I am so grateful for your enthusiasm for my work!
Hi everyone! We've unlocked our 3rd stretch goal, which adds gold foil to the cover! It's gonna look amazing!
That means we are working on our next stretch goal, which is a free mini print to everyone who pledges a physical reward! It unlocks at $10k and we've still got a few days left, so I think we can hit it! Want to let me know which print you want? I put together a poll so you can vote on which piece of art you want to be that stretch goal!
I also got my proof of the book from the printer today and it is looking great so far! I've already found a few things that need fixing, which is great! I always get a physical proof, cause it allows you to see any mistakes a lot easier than you would on a screen. Plus there's something special about holding a physical version of the comic in your hands for the first time!
My proof got a little beat up in the mail, but here are some pictures of it!

I'll be meticulously going through this book to find any mistakes and see if anything needs to change. Then I'll be doing those final edits and sending the files to the printer.
Thank you all for your support! Please share the campaign so we can hit that final stretch goal!
