LOTS OF NEWS + All Kickstarter Packages Ready For Shipping!
🕑 Added 2024-03-23 23:27:13 +0000 UTCI am back from Furnal Equinox and have con plague, which is a sickness from a convention with sore throats, and people trapped in a small space. Still, I'm hammering on, in a few days I got everything for the Kickstarter packed up, shipping labels made, and Canada Post will be on their way Monday to pick them all up.
To be transparent, I spent about $1.8K on shipping costs alone, to be fair it's because I selected tracking and insurance for every package, but that's what it takes to make sure you all get your books. This is more than I anticipated, but I'll find a way to make it up. I didn't do as well at Furnal Equinox as I hoped, I only just made the cost of my table and hotel back. People were interested in smaller items and not full books.
That said, I had a great time at the con, everything else went great, my Masq performance as part of their All-Stars type show, and The Vore Panel. I can say with much certainty that I won't be tabling there again, as the time and effort are not worth it, unless I get an artist's alley table for free, or possibly do the night market with one box of items, my work certainly does much better online.
I have updated the inventory on my stores, and I might even reach out to a few comic book stores in Toronto about getting some of my books in there if appropriate.
Another problem arising is with payment processors and NSFW content. A lot of things are flying around right now, so I'm trying to sort through and keep track of all this information, which sites and processors are okay or not. I fear for a major overhaul of how I run my community and how I make money, so I'm just going to have to prepare in a number of places just in case.
So from here, it's going to be a week or two of catch-up on commissions, plus the NSFW comic for March, that I wanted to do before the con. Thanks everybody! Can't wait to share some new stuff with you finally!
