Project Update: 11-26-2023, Postcard clarity and general update.
Hello all, Jessica here,
Updates:
First off, I am told that the updates are not showing in order. So I'm posting the date of the update in the title to help that.
Postcard Clarification:
It was drawn to my attention that my phrasing was a bit vague and confusing regarding the postcards. I am terribly sorry about that, and am writing clarification now. If you filled out your survey already and this clarification means you ordered the wrong amount/wanted a specific one, please feel free to email me at [email protected] with who you are and exactly what cards you wanted. I will make certain your order is exactly how you want it.
Postcards are broken into two types. Story postcards (that are letters between jack and julie and so are art not in the book), and then assorted postcards which include postcards with images from the book.
Story postcards are the ones you want that have extra info. The backs are printed with Jack and Julie's letters, so aren't good for using them for personal use. They're purely decorative. They are *not* printed in the book, nor is the writing between Jack and Julie printed in the book. They are not necessary to know what's going on, they're mostly just flavor text. The text on each postcard is unique to the location of the card. There are six of them, and they come from these locations:
Brussels
Paris
Orca Island
London
Mt Rainer
Pike's Market.
Assorted Postcards are blank on the back, so you can use them to send to people. They have 14 variations you can choose from. The six from the story postcards (minus the flavor text), and then these 8 additional options:
Warm light
Blue Eyes
Cold Trees
Snowy Landscape
Holiday Houses
Julie
One Dance
St Vith
How to order postcards:
To order the story ones, you pick the story postcard add on, and then you can choose from the variants available. Assorted postcards I believe do not have variant options, we just put them in at random (but don't quote me on that one since I need to check it).
Backerkit issues?:
Please let me know if you are having any issues or struggles using backerkit. I cannot do anything about the formatting of the site obviously, but I am willing to pass your concerns along to their help desk and do what I can on my end to make things as smooth as possible for you all. I really appreciate your patience and understanding while we learn how to use this platform.
Where we're at with making everything and shipping dates:
The books and the art trading cards are at the printers, and are expected to be here at our house by the 7th at the very latest. Austin is coming up on the 11th to start with the fulfillment, and our goal is to have it all shipped out by the 15th (so that it can hopefully get to you before Christmas).
The ornaments are made, the dress is made, the original tree art is all painted. They are just waiting to be sorted out into their appropriate boxes.
The postcard blanks are here and I will be printing them personally, so they are all ready to go. I will only be printing exactly enough for the orders here, as they are unique to this crowdfunding campaign and will not be available elsewhere.
Art Trading Cards Update:
A note about the art trading cards. Rare cards in the collection have gold gilding on the edges. Uncommon cards have silver gilding on the edges. Common cards do not have gilding.
We wanted to do something special for the crowdfunding only cards, and so these ones have blue gilding on the edges. There are only 50 printed in total of each card (you guys unlocked two cards). I'm pretty excited for them to get here. We're anticipating about 3 left over after we get them all to you guys, and those extras will either go up on the website, or be saved for a special occasion. We're not making plans until we're certain exactly how many are left over.
