Kickstarter

I've sent out the backer survey emails and it is now your duty to fill them out and put your mailing address on there so I can send you your fabulous prizes! Please try to do this as soon as possible, because I can't send you anything until you fill it out!

EVERYONE who backed $15 or more was emailed a survey. They tend to get filtered for having the word "survey" in them so be sure to check your spambox! I am belaboring this point because now and then people will overlook these and then never receive the rewards they paid for. That's tragic! Fill out the dang form!!

One more time: If you want your reward, fill out the survey!

As far as I can tell, we'll be able to start sending books out in October, but it's hard to say how long it will take to get everything out the door. If you plan on changing addresses within the next few months, please use your new address or wait until you have moved to send the survey. Unsigned books will likely be sent first.

In other news, I've received some advance copies of both the hard and softcover books and they are AMAZING. I think you guys will be very pleased. 

I've been getting two particular questions a lot this week so I think I should clarify for everybody!

Please make sure your payment went through successfully! I believe either Kickstarter or Amazon should have emailed you to let you know whether or not there were any errors, but if there were, you have until this Sunday to fix it. After that, you'll be dropped from the backer list and won't get your reward. I know you want your reward, so be sure to check that everything's in order!

Don't worry about your shipping address yet! When you pay, Amazon will ask for your billing address, but not your shipping address. You need not be alarmed; I'll be sending a survey email out asking for your shipping address and other pertinent information. Make sure you check your email for that, but don't panic if you don't see it immediately; it might be a couple weeks before that happens.

Okay, that's all I got. GO BACK TO YOUR BUSINESS

Guys.

You have funded this project over 1000%. That is a thousand percent. 

That is insane

Thank you all very much. This project has been absolutely crazy and I am glad to have experienced it with you! I had no idea we would get this far -- to be completely honest, I was nervous about even meeting the original $8,500 goal before the deadline. And we made ten times that. I am experiencing a confusing range of emotions and OKAY SENTIMENTAL STUFF IS OVER LET'S MOVE ON TO BUSINESS

These prints are going to be LARGE and SPECTACULAR. I'm still trying to figure out the details, but I'll keep you posted on them as they come. For now, build a new wall in your home to accommodate them.

As far as scheduling goes, you'll notice that your reward is estimated to arrive in October. That's my educated guess on how long it'll take to finalize the book layout, get some iterations through, and get a final run (and draw in 800 copies oh my). The fine elves of Halolz will be helping me mail everything out, so it should hopefully reach you shortly after that. The other goodies will probably be done before then, but you'll get them all in one package. I'll keep you posted on all that stuff too.

I think that's all I have to say right now, but make sure you check your email or this project for further updates! I'll be updating with new information whenever it arrives. Thanks again, you are very handsome, and CHALLENGERS APPROACHING: SEVERAL NEW FOES APPEAR

I am so INCREDIBLY PUMPED about how this Kickstarter is going and I'm going to be really sad to see it end. YOU GUYS, we are going to have FANCY PINS and they are going to be EXQUISITE.

We're almost at the end of the road -- the project will end on Sunday. As a final push, I'd like to make the prints really nice. The original plan was for them to be like miniature posters: illustrations of some of our favorite Awkward Zombie subjects. They were planned to be smaller than the book itself, to be easily shipped in the same package. What I'd really like is to make them much bigger (around 11"x17"), because I think that would be really cool. Unfortunately, that makes shipping something of a nightmare, and is surprisingly expensive. 

But, you know what, TO HELL WITH REASON LET'S DO IT. I want to make it happen at $85,000, but anything over that would be a big help. Can it happen in three days? LET'S FIND OUT

While I'm on the subject of prints, A NEW FOE HAS APPEARED
