Update #9 · May 8, 2012 · 10 comments

YAY! The Kickstarter has ended and nothing exploded! Thanks so much everyone for all the support. We managed to pass the second extra sticker sheet goal so I'm going to be looking into the options for that (the second sticker sheet will be different from the first). There was a tie for second on the first sticker sheet survey between Knittens and Caterpillar Cats and I'm torn between them myself. So click here to take a survey to decide the second sticker sheet! In the interest of fairness I have included the remaining 4 choices from the first sticker set survey.

There are a few backers who's credit card errored in the process of Kickstarter and Amazon collecting payment. Thankfully you still have a 4 days to correct it. Might be good to double check just to be certain you get your stuff.

I'm sad that we just missed the second Mystery Goal which will remain a mystery for a little bit. I may be able to make the mystery goal happen but I need to see what the final money total will be once I take out the cost of the books, stickers, and fees.

I'm currently looking over all the pledge levels and making a final total of how many of each award I need to stack up in my room so I can put together the packages. And also how much packing materials I'll need to send these out before I make an order to Uline.

I sent out messages to all the supporters at the 100 level and above to get the name you want listed in the book. I'm going to send out surveys once the book is sent to the printer but I need the names so I can finish the book itself. Please get that to me soon if you can. =D

Thanks so much for all the questions you guys have sent for the Question and Answer videos. Some of them will require a little thought. I should be getting to that soon. Feel free to comment with questions if you missed the earlier update asking for them.

I've just finished laminating 195 badges for the 246 badges I need. You guys will be getting one free badge for every book you ordered so the levels with 2 or more books will also be getting 2 or more badges. This goes for the sticker sheets as well.

Also everyone who got a 40.00 Saiko and Lavender set is also getting a copy of True Hue included. Yay for free comics!

Here's some of the interesting Kickstarter graphs that I've been amusing myself watching this whole time. And that I have shamelessly being misrepresenting when I made the goal graphs. =D Thanks again everybody! I will be updating more as progress on the book starts to swing into high gear! And I stop playing around with making stacks of comics and badges.

      @Bill - Thanks for the questions Bill! I have sent you a message on Deviant Art to answer some of them. Looks like I hit the wrong thing and Kickstarter ate your comment, sorry about that, but they sent me an email so I still have the questions.

      Ah, it looks cool. I believe my payments went fine, given that I got the correct email saying things went fine, soooo. Stickers! Muahhaha, I wonder what I will do with said stickers...

      Argh! No indents either!
      Oh well, hope you liked the questions...

      But can you do paragraph indents?
      Hopefully so
      Here is the test.

      Your graphs are cuter than theres anyway!! a little vertical exaggeration is good for people.

      Creator DianaSprinkle on May 8, 2012

      Yeah, looks like you can't get paragraphs in comments.

      Creator DianaSprinkle on May 8, 2012

      @Bill hmmm I'm not sure if you can have paragraph spacing.

      Let me check...

      Creator Bill on May 8, 2012

      And here is another question, how do I make sure that there is actually spaces between paragraphs so my comments don't all smush together?

      Congrats on this huge success and the successful funding of your project. I love your art and getting a book full of it will be really cool. It'll make itself good next to the posters I got from you. ;)
