Latest Updates from Our Project:
Update on Shipping your Goodies
almost 6 years ago
– Tue, Dec 04, 2018 at 12:26:15 AM
Hey everybody!
Hope you've been enjoying our relaunch! We've got a killer Tim Pratt Holiday story we commissioned coming up, be on the look out!
So we've been busy-as-hell bees over here designing, illustrating and proofing print anthologies and parasitic children's books, getting every detail right on tshirt designs and sizes, engraving tentacle sculptures, and the list goes on. With over 700 backers and preorder folks, it's been quite the undertaking! But damn, I'll tell you this-- the stuff that we do have in finally looks AMAZING!
But not everything is done yet, we hit a couple snafu's. For one, the mug company screwed up our order and we received 288 misfit mugs without our full design or nifty logo on it, only the same insanity-inspiring phrase:"I Take My Coffee Black as the Void" on all sides! Quite maddening, Lovecraft would be proud.
We get it. We get how you take your coffee.
They are shipping us corrected mugs free of charge, but it's one of the things that will wind up pushing us back a little, because ideally we want to be shipping everybody one single box full of all their perfectly awesome, perfectly-packed Drabblegoodies, rather than sending hundreds of Drabbledonians around the world several various packages ad hoc as they come in finished to us.
.So here's the current updated schedule.
You'll be getting all digital content this month, in the next couple weeks. Those of you that pledged at the $500 level or higher will be getting your Mystery Holiday Gift Bags by Dec. 14th.
Everything else will be delayed until January and we expect you to be getting your complete and awesome boxes o' Drabblestuff sometime the week of Jan 15th or earlier. Tentacle Sculptures will be coming in a separate package around the same time.
Now, I know a lot of you are probably like, "No biggie Norm, I can't wait!"
But it's maybe possible that some of you might be bummed out because you were counting on some of this DrabbleSchwag to give out as Holiday gifts. Krampus knows the last thing I want is 13 Yule Lads hunting me down in late December and putting potatoes in my shoes cuz I ruined your Christmas. If you fall into this category and find yourself either super bummed or potentially pondering bloody vengeance upon me, shoot me an email and let me know your situation. I can work things out case by case with you if you were banking on kechains, stickers, pins, cd's, or megabeast deathmatch cards under that ol' tannenbaum by the 25th.
The rest of y'all, my apologies for the delay, we're close to having everything out to you, just need a couple more weeks of patience. Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled for an email with some amazing exclusive digital content comin' your way in the next couple weeks!
Yours in Weirdness,
Norm

You've all gotten resent emails asking for you to fill out the survey, please take a minute and fill those out-- we are currently trying to negotiate our order totals.
Also, the Drabblecast Preorder Store there will have a couple unique things there at check out that maybe you'll want to get in on that weren't available in the Kickstarter.

Hey all!
Thank you SO MUCH for helping the Drabblecast be reborn! We can't wait to get you your stuff! A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment. Here's a quick rundown:
We have to collect a few pieces of information based upon your pledge levels (such as who gets the Digital Hugs and what size t-shirts you want) and where we need to ship them.
We’ll be sending out a BackerKit survey to collect this information very soon, so keep your eyes peeled. The invitation email will contain a link to your personal survey-- it's important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page.
If you prefer, you can contact me directly at [email protected] and give me your information, but answering your survey will help us get your rewards out to you faster.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey link will be sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.
Again, thanks for all your support everyone. We can’t wait to send get all the Drabblecast goodies into your hands and ears!
Yours in weirdness,
Uncle Norm

Eternal thanks to those who helped make this possible on the inside throughout the whole thing.

Until soon folks, this is Norm Sherman. reminding you-- (to quote my favorite children's book, "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry):
"If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, 'Somewhere, my flower is there . . "
