Happy Humpday, y'all!
I got the final proof of the Once Upon a Showtime hardback, and it is SO GORGEOUS! The case laminate cover looks exactly the way I wanted, like a leather bound book with silver letters and ornaments. I need to make a teensy tweak to the edges, but those look fantastic too.
The pictures don't show off the silver in all its shiny glory, but it is shiny. And the end papers are vibrant. And the interior looks amazing. I can't want for those of you who are getting a hardback to get your hands on this!
I also have samples of the foiled Vellum inserts, which are going to everyone who got a physical swag pack.
I can't decide on the foil color for this one--torn between this deep burgundy red, and green (to match the neon lights). If you have a preference, let me know.
I'm ordering the books this week. In theory they'll take about 4-6 weeks to get here. Holidays and other things may delay that, but I hope not. If we see delays, I'll update you.
Otherwise, chibi stickers are on their way to me, and I have everything else ready and waiting to send out.
I'm (still) finalizing surveys, but hopefully you'll see those in the next couple of days. There will be a smoke test first, so a small number of you will get surveys as a test, and as long as that goes well, so will everyone else.
With your surveys, you'll have the option to add extras. Paperbacks, stickers, inserts, pins, book sleeves... you get the picture.
Oh, that reminds me! Pictures of the embroidered booksleeves (so many pictures today ^_^ )
That's enough pictures for now. Have a fabulous rest of your week!
Stay geeky, stay sexy!

We met our funding goal, plus a bit more, and these gorgeous books are happening!
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be preparing some things behind the scenes. Around the middle to the end of October, you'll be getting surveys from BackerKit, asking you for shipping and other information, as well as giving you a chance to add-on things like chibi character pins and embroidered book sleeves.
As I get a (hopefully) final proof of the hardback, I'll share, and do the same with the chibi character art and some of the other goodies you'll be getting.
I've enabled late pledges, so if you've got any friends who are sad they missed out, they may still be able to land their own copy.
Thank you so much for helping bring this special edition, plus all the bonus art, to life. You absolutely rock!
Stay geeky, stay sexy!

We just moved into the last 24 hours of the campaign, and I'm left speechless by your support.
Since I don't know what to say... I'll share art instead :D I just got the rough sketches of the Fiona, Parker, and Wyatt from my artist, and they're so adorable! Everyone who backed a tier with physical swag will get a set of stickers of all six characters, and when surveys are sent out, there will also be an option for enamel pin add-ons.
So here's a teaser of the adorable awesomeness I'm looking at.
Whatever happens next, y'all helped make this special edition, and all of this gorgeous artwork, a reality. :*

Chibi Achievement Unlocked!

I want to apologize for the radio silence, but I'm back to say we hit our $2,500 stretch goal, yay! That means we've unlocked character chibis, as well as stickers for anyone who's getting physical swag, and more art for anyone getting digital swag!
The disappointing news is that the artist I commissioned to make this art has ghosted me. But the great news is that I'm talking to a different artist, whom I've worked with before and always does incredible work! Once I have images to show you, I'll share!
I have other images to show you today, though. First of all, I have images of the foiled bookmarks for everyone whose tier includes those. The gold is super shiny on the black background, and these two-sided bookmarks are so pretty in person! The top is the front, and the bottom is the back.
Our next stretch goal is at $3,000 and is the option for backers to add-on an embroidered fabric book sleeve. Though I'm still finalizing the fabric, I have an image of the embroidered patch that will go on the front (ignore the loose threads between letters).
Isn't it awesome? It's about 3" and I love how it turned out ^_^
We're only a week away from the end of this campaign, and it's already been such an awesome ride! I'd love if we could add some more goodies to the stack, and I may have a flash goal coming up in a few days, too.
Thank you so much for being a part of this!
Stay geeky, stay sexy!
