New Bob Eggleton artwork for Frozen Hell + Survey Update
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 08, 2019 at 11:47:45 PM

Hi Everyone --

First (and most importantly!) -- 6% of our backers have not yet completed the BackerKit Survey. If you want your stuff, please finish the survey so we can send it to you! You won't get it if you don't give us your current, updated shipping address (and verify everything you want to receive). You should have received the survey link multiple times at your Kickstarter email address. (Check your SPAM folder if you don't have it.) You can also click here to retrieve it: http://frozenhell.backerkit.com

You can still add things to your order through BackerKit (through tomorrow, when orders are locked) or at wildsidepress.com (until published).

US orders: http://wildsidepress.com/kickstarter-project/

International orders: http://wildsidepress.com/kickstarter-project-international-backers/

Bob's first interior illustration is below. Very cool!

Surveys, Things, and Happy New Year
almost 6 years ago – Fri, Dec 28, 2018 at 01:30:02 AM

                                                    Happy Holidays!

                           Happy New Year!

                             

                           A gift for you

As a special gift, here is a digital wallpaper for you to use as you wish. ( I think a lot of people missed this the last time it was posted)

The surveys have been emailed out. If you do not have your survey yet, you can go here

https://frozenhell.backerkit.com/

Put in the email attached to your Kickstarter account and you will receive the survey. Remember to always use the email attached to your Kickstarter account when interacting with Backerkit.

If you want to add more things to your order you can go here

https://frozenhell.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Add whatever you like. Do note that the book plate is on there twice but it's the same thing. For some reason it's showing up as two different items on the page, and we don't know why. But there is no difference between the options. If you want a book plate just pick one and you're all good.

After the new year and when everyone is back from all the holiday madness, we will have the list of artists who will be working on the interior illustrations for the Short Things anthology. It's going to be wonderful. I know you all are really going to love it.

Thank you for being so amazing. Because of your support for this project, we are getting to make the coolest books ever.

We hope you have the best, happiest, and safest New Year, and we will be updating you shortly with new amazing things for this thing.

Please complete your survey if you haven't already done so

If you haven't already completed your survey, please take a moment to do so. We still have 1900 surveys outstanding. We want to wrap up the project in a timely manner.

The survey is in an email from BackerKit. 

Why do we want you to complete it? We need you to verify your email address and/or mailing address, and confirm which items you want. This way there will be no mistakes, and no mis-shipped items.

If you can't find your survey, please check your spam filter. Or search your email for BackerKit. Or check to see if KickStarter has your email address wrong (you can correct it!)

If you still can't find the email with the survey, or forgot to pledge for an item you wanted, BackerKit has a support page for Frozen Hell here:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

BackerKit Survey and change of publication date
almost 6 years ago – Mon, Dec 24, 2018 at 12:49:28 AM

I have submitted the BackerKit survey to the full list. There was a small error in shipping prices for add-ons, but I believe I have fixed it. You should be able to complete all the info you need to receive your items.

Bob Eggleton has advised me that he can't deliver the artwork until Jan. 16, because we added so much (remember, we added a color frontispiece for the hardcovers and interior illustrations after he had agreed to do the cover).  This will push back the publication date a few weeks. I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

The BackerKit store is located here, if you didn't order yet and still want to:

https://frozenhell.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

And of course you can also pre-order through our web site, wildsidepress.com

It will be up until at last Jan. 16th, when we hope to finalize quantities for the printer.
