Thanks for responding quickly!

Wow, we already have 60% of surveys answered!  :D

If you did not get your survey yet,

1. Make sure you are checking the inbox associated with the email address you used to sign in with kickstarter.

2. Search your inbox for "backerkit" or "monster girls" to help you find the email.

3. Check your spam folder in case it went there on accident.

4. Check your trash/deleted folder in case it went there.

After completing these steps, if you STILL can't find your survey, please send me a message and I will help you out.

Plugging my Pin Club:

I thought I would share my pin club design -- it is going out in early August to Patreon members!  There is also a coordinating pin that is available on kittynaut.com to anyone.  They're both 2" tall (huge) and hard enamel.

Get Fishin' Kitty here!

Get Surfin' Pupper here!

Pin club members get:

- a limited edition pin monthly

- FREE matching sticker

- FREE SHIPPING coupon code for kittynaut.com that's valid forever (you can even use it to get free shipping on surfin' pupper or other stuff from my shop)

- ACCESS to the secret shop 

- ACCESS to patron-only posts

- Coupon codes

How it works: After joining, you don't get charged any money until the 1st of the next month (e.g. if you join today Jun 12 you don't get charged til August 1st). After payment is collected, I ship the pins+stickers+other stuff to my patrons.

Cheers,

Kittynaut

Surveys are coming soon + NEW STUFF AGAIN
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jul 09, 2019 at 02:32:49 AM

Surveys are almost coming your way -

We are in the final phase of getting surveys reviewed and approved for sending out to backers.  Hold tight, it's coming soon! I will most likely make an announcement when surveys actually DO begin sending so we're all on the same page.

Poster Prints and Mini Prints - reveal

Finally, I have a compilation of all of the mini prints and poster prints.  The mini print artwork is what will also be available for the sketchbook add-ons.

Via your surveys, you will be able to add these items even if you didn't add extra funds to your pledge during the campaign.  Even if you choose not to add on these extra mini prints, I hope you'll enjoy the puns.

On the actual mini-prints, the corners will be rounded.  It will be printed on a nice, thick 100lb matte cover stock. 

Puns.
Puns.
More prints n' puns.
More prints n' puns.

One BIG print will also be available as an add-on (alas, without puns, but it will have some of the info as shown in the mini-zines) -- it will be printed on a beautiful semi-gloss photo paper stock.  The initial test prints look vibrant and beautiful, so I recommend this one!

Errored Pledge Payments:

How to fix declined pledges:  https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005133293-A-project-I-m-backing-just-succeeded-and-my-pledge-was-declined-What-do-I-do-

If you are one of the 16 backers who have errored payments, you absolutely MUST resolve payment issues before this Friday (less than 4 days from now), or you will automatically lose your backer status (and lose freebies, kickstarter-only discounts, etc).

There were over $1,200 in errored payments on this campaign, which was surprising and shocking (and a little terrifying honestly).  I have never seen this occur to this degree in all of my previous campaigns (maybe bank security systems are flagging kickstarter charges as "suspicious" or many veteran collectors just need to update their cards after years of pin collecting); either way, it would be a HUGE blow to lose all of those pledges, so please do what you need to in order to fix payment issues.  It may involve calling your bank and authorizing a transaction, any it may involve using a different card if it's expired.

That's all folks!

Important information about selecting your pins!
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jul 06, 2019 at 04:08:08 PM

First, thank you!

Thank you all for making this pin project possible.  I am so happy to see so many people excited about these designs, and I am absolutely blown away by amount of support.  This has been my most successful kickstarter ever.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Next steps - Surveys

1. WATCH OUT FOR SURVEYS IN YOUR EMAILS

These are coming in the next few days.  I am using backerkit as mentioned before, so keep an eye out for an email from backerkit.  If you don't receive your survey, please email me at kittynautshop at gmail dot com (this is the fastest way to get my attention). I will also make an update when they are sent.

2. WHEN YOU GET THE SURVEY, ANSWER IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO YOU DON'T FORGET

In the surveys, you will be able to pick your pins, pick your add ons, and even add more add-ons!  It's gonna be the best part! Sometimes backers can't decide which pins they want and have forgotten to submit their survey - don't let this happen to you (it will make your particular reward packet get delayed).

3. MANUFACTURING

From survey data, I order everything we need. Insofar as the technical specifications go, I have long already discussed these designs with the manufacturer, and therefore the factory is primed and ready to go -- they just need the numbers of each thing they need to make. During the manufacturing phase, there will be updates with photos and more.

4. FULFILLMENT OF REWARDS

After about a month, the product arrives to me from the manufacturer, and then I pack it by hand and ship it to backers. I will keep everyone updated on the progress of shipping.  It does take finite time to package each reward by hand, but I always do my best to go as fast as I can.

Don't forget to update your payment method if you need to!

If you receive a message from kickstarter about your payment method being rejected, PLEASE make sure you update it!  If you happen to be in this group of people and wait too long (a few days), you lose your status as a backer, your pledge WILL BE DELETED and you will be LOCKED OUT of getting your pins (this is automatically done by kickstarter and I do not control this process).  These pins will not be available to non-backers for quite some time, and anyone who gets kicked out of the backer pool will miss out on any early bird prices, free stickers, free sticker sheets, free standees, etc that were offered during this campaign.

Thank you everyone! Please email me with any questions you may have.

Cheers,

Kittynaut

Sticker Sheets - Two Colorways!
almost 5 years ago – Thu, Jul 04, 2019 at 11:24:52 PM

Just a small update as we inch closer to the end..

Here is a preview of sticker sheets; I realized that the design was denoted "subject to improvements" on the main page, so I went ahead and did just that -- now ALL monster girls are featured, and it will come in both classic color scheme and pastel color scheme.

Thank you all for the great campaign.  It's been great!  Please stay tuned for surveys!  :)
