It's fair to say things have taken far longer than originally planned, and I'm painfully aware of that timeline after work delays and sharp increases in the costs of paper, production, and shipping, but I will not stop or slow down until everyone has their rewards.
Now that I have this experience, I've built an incredible little team to help me prevent such delays from happening again in the future.
For now, I'll keep shipping.
One batch went out yesterday, and another will go out today. As soon as the tracking numbers are active, I'll forward them to each addressee through the messaging system here on Kickstarter.
My small (but dedicated) team and I thank you for your encouragement, support, and most of all, your gracious understanding and patience. You will receive every piece of your rewards, and all we can do now is keep working hard until it's all fulfilled.
We already have improved systems in place for Volume 2 to prevent any of the same or similar issues from occurring or at least from derailing us.
The art for Volume 2 is already well underway, and will not present a delay for the second volume.
BUT... to honor all of you and your time and trust, Volume 2 will not launch until everyone has their Volume 1 copies. 🙌
Wishing you all a fiendishly fun start to spooky season,
Audrey
Greetings, fellow fiends!
Another batch of books is heading out today, and as soon as I have tracking numbers, I will send them to your inbox.
The next batch will head out on 18 September; a few days later, everyone will receive their tracking numbers. 🙌
This volume is looking to be around 110k words, and our new artist is working ahead on all the NEW cryptids so we don't have the same delays that messed us up with Volume 1. We will have new and returning authors but with fewer stories -- the word count of Volume 1 killed us a little with the thickness of the book and the shipping weight. 😂
More news will be shared with the mid-month shipment! 🙌
Things blew up so wonderfully with Volume 1 that we were given a wealth of new things we had to learn on the fly -- and much of it we learned the hard way.
Now that we have the experience, we have a proper fulfillment plan for Volume 2 so the ebooks will be delivered as soon as surveys are completed, and all physical copies with physical rewards will be delivered before Christmas!
Instead of trying to do it all by myself, I have drawn together an excited and dedicated Darkest of Dreams team to help me ensure that fulfillment is on time and seamless. They are already deep in their work to make sure that Volume 2 will be far more resistant to any unforeseen issues, delays, or problems.
Thank you for giving us the grace to learn how to do better. 🙏
