Proofs Have Arrived!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Oct 13, 2024 at 08:05:27 AM

That's right all, I got to hold an actual print copy of First Place Losers in my hand and it was glorious! 

We wanted to do a print proof to make sure everything came out like it should. In addition, we wanted to compare a few different cover stocks. Here's a quick peek of the interiors: 

We'll be putting in the final order this weekend, and the rest of the books should arrive by the end of the month. Then we'll begin fulfillment!

Everyone should have their digital rewards by now, but if you're missing them, please don't hesitate to reach out. Theres's still a very small number of you that need to complete surveys still. 

That's all for now, and hope all of you have a great week!

Best,

Andrew & Team

Digital Rewards
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2024 at 03:13:43 PM

Happy Monday, 

Quick check in to let you know that digital rewards are going out as we speak via Backerkit. If you have any issues at all, or can't find your download links, please don't hesitate to message me on Kickstarter or email at [email protected]

Our test print copies for the physical issues we'll be arriving the second week of October. As long as everything looks great, we'll go ahead and put the final order in. If we need to make any adjustments we'll also do that then. The mini art prints are completed and ready to go as well. 

There is still a tiny number of you that have not completed your surveys. If you have a minute, please do that. Then as soon as the rewards are completed, we'll start the shipping process. I'm hoping to begin by the end of October/ early November. 

I think that's everything. But feel free to touch base if you need any help or clarification. For those that read the books digitally, we hope you enjoy them. We had a blast making them. In the meantime, have a great week!

Best,

Andrew & Team

Surveys Sent!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Sep 15, 2024 at 02:29:20 PM

Hello All, 

Surveys have been sent through Backerkit. I think many of you are familiar with this process, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/ issues. You can message me via the Kickstarter campaign page, or email at [email protected]. I'll  do my best to respond ASAP and get you sorted.

All of you that had add-ons through the campaign, should have had them already added to your cart automatically. Those that would still like to add can do so now. We will be sending out digital rewards soon, so keep an eye on those inboxes. 

In the meantime, have a great rest of your weekend!

Best,

Andrew & Team

Funds Have Arrived!

Hi All, 

I wanted to do a quick check in to let everyone know the campaign funds have officially arrived. We're in the process of finalizing the surveys through Backerkit. Those will be going out soon, with the digital rewards to follow. So keep an eye on those inboxes. We're right on schedule. 

In the meantime, have a great rest of the week!

Best,

Andrew & Team

Thank You!

We did it! Thanks to all you lovely people, First Place Losers will be a reality. 

Here's a quick timeline. 

  • Funds should arrive in roughly two weeks.
  • All digital rewards are on track to go out by the end of September.
  • Once funds arrive, we'll get all the rewards ordered, made, and printed. 
  • We're scheduled to have everything sent out by December of this year. If that changes, or needs to adjust, we'll make sure to let you all know in an update. But we should make it. 

Surveys will go out via Backerkit. For those that still wanted to do add ons you can do that as well. 

Lastly I wanted to shoutout Ink To Table, a new digital magazine that focuses on the world of Kickstarter Comics. First Place Losers was the focus of the debut issue, but this will be an ongoing monthly zine. Community is so important, and the Kickstarter comics community is no exception. Some of the best comic friendships and partnerships are people I met through Kickstarter. Curtis Clow is one of those friends, and an amazingly talented creator in his own right. He and Caleb Palmquist (check out Dragon Grit, because it's fantastic!) are spearheading this project, and I highly recommend you give it a subscribe! You won't be disappointed. 

That's everything. But keep an eye on that inbox, as we'll be checking in with progress reports soon. Have a great weekend!

Best,

Andrew & Team
