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
Will I have to pay shipping on the sticker if I get the Early Bird deal with the PDF pledge?
Unfortunately, yes. It shouldn't be too bad, and I'm keeping costs as low as possible. But if you want the sticker, I recommend getting the physical version of the comic so the shipping cost doesn't change.
Will there be more to the story?
Yes! This is the first part of a 10 part arc. The others are already written and are in the process of being drawn, so you can feel secure knowing this isn't a pipe dream, it's actively happening.
How mature is the story?
There are some heavier themes, including death, but nothing gratuitous in terms of visuals. Sexual themes are done tastefully, and there's no nudity!
Where can I learn more about the world?
I'll be posting on my socials constantly, but my Substack will be the best place to read short stories, snippets, and maybe even see some more art! I'm a writer at my core, so there's plenty of supplementary content for KTW: Runa. https://ktwproductions.substack.com/
Mysticism aside, what is this Machinations pledge?
Yeah, I know. But it's fun. It's a limited print copy of the comic, but altered in numerous ways. I don't want to spoil anything, but I wanna clarify that there will only ever be 13 of this issue ever printed. I'm not saying they'll be worth anything, but I can assure you they WILL be unique. This pledge level also comes with the standard PDF version, so you'll still get to see the original!
I'm a retailer, how do I get numerous copies for my business?
Great question! If you're a licensed retailer, email me at [email protected] with proof of your business and I'll give you access to the retailer pledge!
