Because of all of you, we had a successfully funded campaign! I will admit, it was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster these last 21 days but I am so grateful to have so many of you with us.

So what happens next?

Over the next few days, BackerKit will begin charging your card for the amount pledged. If you were one of the few folks who chose the pay over time method, you'll make your first payment as well. We'll work with anyone whose pledge errors until it gets fixed. I'm committed to you all getting your books and pins!

Once the majority of the funs have been collected and sent to me, I will open up surveys. These will allow you to answer some questions so that I can be sure I'm getting you everything you need. If you chose the pay over time option, you won't get your survey until you've paid in full.

You will also have another opportunity to purchase add-ons during the survey. And I've added a few things that weren't available during the campaign so do be sure to check them out. There's digital and physical items that I hope might interest you.

We didn't quite hit high enough to unlock Celestial Tales for everyone, but I wanted to make a special offer. If we can raise enough through survey add-ons to get us past $6,000 before November 1, 2024, then I will add that to everyone's pledge!

Given hat the books will be coming from overseas, they aren't due to arrive until towards the end of the year. Because of that, we won't be ready to ship until the new year and since postage rates fluctuate, especially around the holiday time, it made sense to wait to charge shipping until we have a firmer sense of what it will be.

All of that to say that everyone who pledged to a physical tier, you will see a note on your survey that shipping will be charged later. I will likely be charging shipping in January 2025.  I will of course post an update before those charges are assessed so you are ready for them.

For now, I am going to rest and get my ducks in order behind the scenes so that you all get your books and can dive into this fantastical world.
