Production Update and Survey Reminder
7 months ago – Tue, Aug 19, 2025 at 06:21:04 PM

Gooood evening everyone~

I'm back from my roadtrip and already right back to work on this project!


It's been a while since my last update, and unfortunately there isn't much new to report. All items (besides the magnets) have now entered production! I have been staggering ordering these items so I will get them all around the same time and so I can more efficiently manage orders when it is time to pack and ship them out.
I've been holding off on posting an update hoping I would have some production-progress photos for you, but it might be a little longer before I get them. Pins have now been in production for a little over 2 weeks, so I should be getting progress photos any day now. The lanyards and stickers entered production last week, and the cross-colab keychains should be shipping out to me by the end of the week! I will be ordering the last items, the car magnets, early next week as they take the least amount of time to produce and will be made here in the Pacific Northwest so they'll get here much faster than everything coming from China (pins, lanyards, keychains) and the East Coast (stickers).

Next on my schedule is designing and ordering the packaging for these items, including backer cards for the pins and keychains, and a protective pocket for stickers. I have a great idea for these, and I can't wait to show you the final designs! One of my favorite parts of big, themed projects like this one is making unique packaging so your unboxing experience extra special <3

Now for the not-so-fun stuff:

If you still haven't filled out your survey, please do so ASAP! If you don't fill out your survey, I won't know which pins to send you :/ There are about 10 of you who still haven't filled out your surveys- but don't worry, I've sent all of you a survey reminder email with a new link so you can fill it out!
Please search your inbox for these if you don't remember filling it out already- and if you aren't sure if you filled it out or not, you can leave a comment here or DM me on Instagram and I can check for you :)

There are also a few folks with failed payments, so if your card recently expired, got lost, or otherwise canceled/replaced, please double-check that your payment went through by going to your profile, clicking on "Your Pledges and Surveys" and clicking on this campaign. 

In the meantime, I am working on an idea I had for my next pin project, though I don't have anything more finished than a couple sketches at the moment. I was planning on launching this project at the beginning of October, but rest assured you will be the first to know when I have a final date picked for the start of the next project <3

Thank you all so much for your patience while your pins, stickers, and other items get made :)

Mini Update- Failed Payments and Survey Stragglers
8 months ago – Tue, Jul 29, 2025 at 07:21:08 AM

Good morning!

It looks like there are still about 20 people who haven't filled out their surveys. If you think this is you, please check that you filled everything out and hit submit by going to your profile on BackerKit, selecting "Your Pledges and Surveys" and find this campaign.
If you lost the link to the survey or never received one, here is the link to recover it: Survey Recovery Page

There are still quite a few failed payments as well- please check your email for one from BackerKit that says if your card was charged successfully. If you aren't sure, again you can check on it by clicking on your profile on BackerKit, selecting "Your Pledges and Surveys" and find this campaign. You can also search your email or leave a comment on this update and I can check for you :)

In other news- the pin order has been placed! It should take between 4 and 6 weeks for them to be made, and another 2ish weeks to get to me. I've also already ordered several of the sticker designs and the colab keychains, and I plan on ordering the last of the stickers, keychains and lanyards when I return from vacation on August 10th :)

I'll try to keep everyone updated and answer any questions that come up, but please remember that I will be out of state between August 4th and 10th and it might take longer for me to respond to your emails. 
You are also more than welcome to message me on Instagram if you have an urgent question or concern :)

Thanks for reading!

Mini Update- Surveys Locking
8 months ago – Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 05:37:42 PM

Itty Bitty Update for you all this evening:

Surveys will lock tomorrow(ish) and after that you will lo longer be able to make changes to your order freely. If you do need to make any last minute updates, you can let me know at any point from now until your order ships and I can re-open your survey so you can make changes.

A couple days after surveys lock (around Wednesday) I will be charging cards. Please keep an eye on your email to make sure your payment goes through! If I don't receive full payment, I will have to cancel your pledge!

There are still about 30 of you who have not filled out your survey! Please do so as soon as you can! I cannot fulfill your order if you do not complete the survey or if your payment fails. Didn't receive a survey? Click this link and you will be sent a new one.

Good news- the Mystery Dragon Egg Keychains have been funded! If you were worried about this item not getting unlocked but want to add it to your order now that the funding goal has been reached, please let me know via comment and I can re-open your survey :)

That's all for now!
I'll be working on getting all these items ordered in the next week and a half, then I'll be taking a week off to drive to Denver for the Ghost Ritual there! I'll still try to answer any emails and questions that may come up, but I'll be driving like 1500 miles over 6 days so don't be surprised if responses come a little slower than normal :)

Survey Reminder
8 months ago – Tue, Jul 22, 2025 at 07:17:00 AM

Good morning!

Quick reminder for everyone- please fill out your survey if you haven't done so already!
Filling out your survey helps me know how many of each pin, sticker, lanyard, and magnet design I need to order. Without this information, I may not order enough of each design!
If you can't find your survey link, you can recover it here or leave a comment and I can re-send it to you.

Another reminder- through the survey and pre-order store you can still get one of these Dragon Egg Mystery keychains! We're just 3 orders away from unlocking this last-minute stretch goal :)



If you are having any issues with your survey, please let me know ASAP so I can help you! I'm more than happy to re-send your survey link or help you with any questions you may have :)

I love seeing which items are the most popular in any campaign, so here's a list of the most popular designs!
1. Rainbow Dragon Pin (80 orders)
2. Queer Dragon Pin (39 orders)
3. Progress Pride Mini Pin (38 orders)
4. Transgender Unicorn Pin (33 orders)
5. Asexual Manticore Pin (31 orders)
6. Bisexual Gryphon Pin (30 orders)
7. Nonbinary Tatzelwurm Pin (28 orders)
8. Rainbow Dragon Sticker (21 orders)
9. Lesbian Peryton Pin (19 orders)
10. Rainbow Lanyard (16 orders)

That's it for now! I'll be posting another update in a week or two when I place the order for the enamel pins, and of course I'll also send a few updates along the way with progress photos and updates on the production of other campaign items. 

Surveys Out!
8 months ago – Sun, Jul 13, 2025 at 01:20:19 PM

Good afternoon everyone!
Great news- the test surveys were all answered super quick and everything looks fantastic! Thank you so muck each of you who got the test surveys for the quick turn-around!
This means its finally time to release surveys for everyone! Please check your email for the survey link (it will be in a separate email from this one) and answer as soon as you can so I can get a more accurate number for the manufacturer(s) :)

There are still about 13 of you with failed payments. This means there is still about $450 outstanding, and with so much of the funds unavailable to me, I cannot order everything needed for the campaign. I hope these payments will be fixed soon so I can start production on time, but if these don't get fixed within 2 weeks I may have to delay production of some items. Please check your payment info by going to your profile on BackerKit (upper right corner of the screen) and clicking on "Your Pledges and Surveys" there, you should be able to check on my campaign and see if your payment went through. You should have also received an email saying your payment failed.

Please fill out your survey as soon as you can so I can get production started! If you lost the link or didn't receive one, please let me know and I can re-send it to you. If you chose to pay over time, you will not receive your survey until all payments have been made. 

For more details about each item and to see what's available for each item type, I recommend having the two previous updates open for reference. The last update has images of all the stickers, car magnets, and lanyards, and the update before that one has images of all the available pin designs- including the Creature Flag pins, Pronoun Pins, and Mini Banner pins.

Have questions? Please comment here or send me a DM on instagram and I will be happy to help out :)
If there are any issues with your survey, pledge, or if you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to reach out.
