Locking Orders and Quick Update!

Hello Everyone!
You should have gotten an email just before this one that we're locking orders on BackerKit--this will allow us to distribute some digital rewards and charge for shipping in the near future. If you haven't gotten that email, first check your promotions and spam, but if it's not that, it might be because you didn't fill out your survey (we're still missing about 10% of backers), so make sure you do that now! Let me know if you need to be resent the link.
As for updates, Paree has started up on her short, though we're expecting some delays due to her country's current internet situation. Nothing dramatic, but it may take some extra time to get everything approved and downloaded. Dorilys has us scheduled for February, so she'll be starting on hers soon.
Looking forward to getting everyone the full book and we'll have some exciting news coming soon for what's next! We've got some heavy hitters working on covers for us and I think you'll like what they're doing.

Hello Everyone!
Hope everyone had a lovely holiday season with your families or just relaxing alone, either way you deserved to have some time off!
Check your email because BackerKit surveys have been sent. I'll ask that you get those done ASAP so you don't forget and so we can guarantee your campaign rewards without any hastle.
You'll be able to pick up any add-ons you might have missed during the campaign (including the stretch goals we unlocked) and you'll be charged for shipping in the survey so keep that in mind!
We should have more news regarding the short comics coming soon, but until then, let's take care of these surveys!

Thank You for a Great Campaign! + Next Steps!

Hello Everyone!
The campaign is finally over and more than 500 of you came together to make this book a reality as it was intended, with bonus stories and art gallore. We owe you so much thanks for your endless support and enthusiasm for this project and we're so happy we got to play it out, in full, on our own terms! I have so much I'd like to say, but I have actually important information to get to, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Okay, let's talk about what happens now:
- Over the next week, Kickstarter will collect your pledges--for most of you, this has already gone off without a hitch, however, there will always be people who's pledges become errored, usually because of a payment issue. If this happens to you, you need to fix that payment issue before next Wednesday or it will become much more difficult for you to get your rewards, so do it now and don't put it off!
- In about two weeks, Kickstarter will give us the lump sum of what was raised during the campaign (minus fees). Yay!
- After the New Year, we'll send out reward surveys for you to fill out which will allow you to finalize your pledge and pick up any add ons you may have missed (including stretch goal add ons). We're waiting until after the holidays because, frankly, we want you to be able to spend time with your families and enjoy your holiday season without worrying about answering our survey right away. We'll send out an update when it goes out so you don't forget about it!
- In January, Paree and Dorilys will be starting work on their short stories and we expect that they'll have everything wrapped up by mid February (though again, we'll let you guys know).
- After everything is completed, we'll send out digital copies of the book and send it to the printer where, depending on their turnaround, we'll be able to get it shipped out sometime in March or early April.
We'll be in touch soon if we need to be, but for now, let's throw our fists in the air and be happy about a job well done! Thanks again, all of you, next year is gonna be something special!

4th Stretch Goal UNLOCKED!

Hello Everyone!
Quick bit of good news as we enter the last 24 hours of the campaign, We just crossed $17,500 and hit our fourth stretch goal of the campaign, unlocking a free print for all physical backers and a new Dakota poster by Laura Helsby as an add on!
That poster is still in production, so I'm going to wait until surveys go out to make that available for purchase, so don't worry that you can't pick it up right at this moment, I want to make sure everyone can see what it looks like before we put a price tag on it!
Can we hit our fifth stretch goal and get some smutty Christmas cards made in time for the Holidays? Probably not, but I am looking to give the creative team a pay bump if we exceed $20k to make sure everyone shares in how well this campaign did, so let's not take our foot off the gas until we're fully out of time!
So grateful for all of your support, let's make this last day a big one.

Final hours of the Campaign!

Hello Everyone!
It's almost that time, we're 72 hours away from the end of the campaign for Smut Vol. 1! At the moment, we're about $2200 away from our 4th stretch goal to unlock a free print for everyone and a Dakota add-on poster for those that have been clamoring for it since the first campaign.
Now's the best time to check your add-ons and make sure you have everything you want, share word of the campaign around your preferred social media and/or public park, and pick up the stretch goal add-ons we've unlocked so far. Speaking of:
Brenda finished the design for the free sticker/new enamel pin and it's ADORABLE! I love him desperately and can't wait to have the pins in my grubby little mitts. You can pick up one right now in the add-ons to help us get to our next (and probably last) stretch goal!
No matter what, we've had a great campaign and I'm really proud of this book and team. Thanks so much for getting us this far, let's end the year and this campaign as strong as we can!
