Hey there, Children of Gaia fam!
Wow, you are really nailing these backer surveys! Just one week after we sent them out to everybody, a whopping 70% of you have already completed them!
That's amazing. Thank you SO much for your help in getting us all the info we need to get your rewards to you!
If you're one of the 18 folks who still hasn't completed your survey, please do so by either:
Clicking on the personalized link in the email from Oneshi Press via BackerKit, OR
Your survey should take just a few minutes to complete, and you can grab a la carte items from our store on your way out, if you'd like! (A pair of dice, perhaps? Maybe some other Children of Gaia comics? TarMucks coffee, even?)
Remember, we'll need all surveys completed by next Wednesday, April 19, in order to get all your names included on our thank-you pages online and in the comic book!
Thanks again for your support! You're the dang best!
The first book of Detached introduces our protagonist Casey a year after an attempt to end her own life. After being saved by a mysterious creature, she's thrown back into her life and faced with the things she had been trying to escape. Casey must navigate a world that's now sprinkled with strange creatures and unpredictable magic while trying to heal the heart-shaped hole left in her body.

More than one year ago, Ariana set out on a great journey seeking answers, her quest taking her far from her homelands and the People of the Moon. She is determined to save them from a mysterious malady that is destroying her folk, and will stop at nothing to find answers.
Along her path she has found a companion, quick with a sword, but not a smile. He, too, is far from home, but not quick to tell the reasons why. Together they are on the path to the Great Tree - the ancient pilgrimage of their once great civilization. The legendary Keeper may have answers that will save the elves that once thrived across Erda.

Hello again, Mag Tower backer!
Hooray! The funds from the Children of Gaia: The Mag Tower campaign have arrived in our account, so we're starting to send out surveys today!
Here's what happens next…
Today & Tomorrow: The Smoke Test Surveys 💨
We're using BackerKit, a third-party fulfillment platform, to send out the backersurveys!
Their system requires that before we send allsurveys, we perform a smoke test, which sends out a small percentage of surveys 48 hours ahead of the rest.
That way, we can identify and work out any bugs in our survey system.
So, a few of you will receive your surveys in the next two days. It would be fabulous if you could get them completed quickly, so we can discover if we need to fix anything!
Wednesday: All Surveys 📅
After the smoke test wraps up on Wednesday, April 5, we'll send out the rest of the surveys to all our amazing backers!
You'll have two weeks to complete surveys before we finalize our thank-you page on the website and in the Destinations Anthology. That means we'll need you survey completed by end of day on Wednesday,April 19!
So, Why a Survey?✔️

Add-On Store🛒
If there was an item you saw during the Kickstarter campaign that you loved, but you didn't grab it on Kickstarter, now's your chance! You can shop for everything from the campaign, as well as oodles of other Oneshi Press publications, stickers, art, and more, all in the BackerKit add-on store.
Remember, keep an eye on your e-mail inbox for your backer survey! You should see it by the end of this week!!
In 1797, Samuel Taylor Coleridge published the first part of his five-part epic poem titled Christabel. In 1800, the second part was published; but Coleridge never finished the story…so we took our turn at it--adapting and expanding on the story of knights and sorcery Coleridge started more than two centuries ago.
This graphic novel in three volumes is part Arthurian Tales, part The Witcher, and part Bridgerton; as this sword and sorcery-lite story brings a more diverse cast to the genre.

Now that the campaign has ended, here's what happens next:
3/17 - 4/3 - Kickstarter will start charging credit cards immediately, and will continue cycling through for the next two weeks. So, if there's a problem with the card you have on file, you'll have some time to update the information and try again!
4/3 - 4/19 - As soon as the funds from Kickstarter land in our account, we'll send out backer surveys! You'll have about two weeks to complete them, so we can finalize item counts and get all the info we need to send your goodies out!
4/20 - 5/22 - Once surveys are in, we'll place orders with our manufacturers, then give it some time for everything to come to us. During this time, we'll also send out digital rewards!
5/22 - 5/31 -Fulfillment time! We'll pack and ship orders directly from Oneshi Press HQ.
6/1 - 6/9 - US shipping window
6/1- 6/30 - International shipping window
All of these dates are approximate, of course. There can be a wide margin of error for how quickly our funding lands in our account, how long it takes for our orders to be shipped to us, whether there are any disruptions on the supply chain, and so on.
We'll stay in touch about any changes in our schedule, so you'll know what's happening at every stage of the process!
We want to get these games, books, dice, art, and more into your hands as soon as possible, so rest assured that we'll be pushing hard to be as efficient as we can!
