June Update for Girl Genius Volume 20: The Exorcism Engines
about 2 months ago
– Fri, Jun 07, 2024 at 07:28:22 PM
Hello again!
This campaign is quite old, and nearly everything has been shipped. If you’re one of the majority of backers who already have all your stuff, then you’re set, and you don’t need to read the rest of this unless you’re bored. It’s all info for the backers affected by end-of-the-campaign issues.
So, we’re almost done with the campaign, but there are a few things still in play, so I’ll go over everything just to catch up. If you have any questions or problems that need handling, don’t post in the comments here; it’s too easy to miss things we need to help with. Please contact us through our official page at girlgeniusart.com. And now—
SHIPMENTS TO THE USA
All the rewards for backers in the USA shipped long ago, except for the shipment to that one backer who just filled out their pledge manager. Thank you! That one went out last week and has probably even arrived by now.
THE VOLUME 12 REPRINT
We had an inventory mistake, and now we have to reprint Volume 12. An email update about that went out today to the small number of USA backers who are affected. There should have been a note with an apology and extra treat in your original shipment, but it’s been a while, so I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I haven’t forgotten!
DELAYED INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS THAT WILL SHIP SOON
A small number of International shipments were delayed, but they will be going out soon. The packages are being sent from TopatoCo, the people who handle our online company store. If there are any problems, you can write to us and we’ll take care of it.
If you are one of those international backers: I’ve set the addresses on BackerKit to lock in two days. Until then, you can make address changes in your BackerKit account. You will need to use the email address you used in the campaign. You should be getting an email from BackerKit with a personalized link, but if you don’t, you can use this link to get into your account. https://girlgenius20.backerkit.com/
DELAYED INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS THAT WILL BE COMBINED BY REQUEST
Some of the international backers who are still waiting for their Volume 20 shipment have chosen to combine it with their Volume 21 package. Right now, I’m working on setting up the BackerKit pledge manager for Volume 21. My plan is go in and credit those accounts for the amount they’ve already paid in postage before I send out the BackerKit links. I’m a little nervous about that, so I’ll try to be careful not to mess it up somehow. If there turns out to be any problem, please let me know so I can take care of it.
The combined packages are scheduled to ship from TopatoCo once the new volumes of the book are printed.
IN CONCLUSION:
I’m so sorry for the trouble I’ve had with this campaign. I’ll be working hard to make sure none of these problems happen again! I’ll be posting monthly updates here for a while longer until I know that the last of the immediate international shipments have gone out. After that, updates will go to "whenever there’s something to say." I hope to have this campaign settled soon!
Thank you so much, everyone!

Our latest Girl Genius Kickstarter campaign ends tonight!
3 months ago
– Wed, May 01, 2024 at 10:23:08 AM
The campaign is for Volume 21 of Girl Genius: An Entertainment in Londinium. We have also met several stretch goals for reprinting some of the books. Rewards include our now-beloved Envelope of Madness, which is full of goodies and goes to every backer at levels containing a book. For backers at the $10 and up level, we have the PDF Pile, which currently contains PDF versions of Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 12-21. Its contents may grow as we hit more stretch goals.
Thank you everyone!

P.S. AND NOW, A MESSAGE FOR OUR INTERNATIONAL BACKERS:
Shipping the last of the International rewards for Volume 20 The Exorcism Engines:
All USA rewards for this campaign have shipped. Most of the International rewards have also shipped, but we had money problems this year and will ship the last batch as soon as the funds come in from the Volume 21 Kickstarter: sometime in late May. I am so sorry for the delay! I feel terrible about it. I'll of course post here again when those last items ship.
Combining Vol. 20 and Vol. 21 shipments:
Some backers have asked to combine their volumes 20 and 21 shipments. Yes, I'll figure out a way to do that, and we are grateful to those who are giving us another chance. I'll probably have to do some hands-on work to adjust the shipping cost on your current pledge manager form, so if you want to combine shipments, please use the Kickstarter form on our contact page at girlgeniusart.com to let me know.
You can also use that form if your shipping address has changed. Please don't post about it here, comments on Kickstarter campaigns are notoriously easy to miss. Using the form to email us means we can keep better track of who I need to work with. If we don't hear from you by 5 May, 2024 I'll go ahead and ship your Exorcism Engines rewards as soon as I can.

March 2024 Girl Genius Exorcism Engines Update
4 months ago
– Sun, Mar 31, 2024 at 10:43:10 PM
Hello again! With very little time left in the month of March, here’s the March update! I’m mostly recovered from my surgery, but it’s been slow going. I’ve been working hard, and will be launching the new Kickstarter this week for Girl Genius Volume 21: An Entertainment in Londinium. You can sign up to be notified or just wait and I’ll link the campaign here when it goes live.
All of our USA and most of our International shipments have shipped, but there are still a few Internationals that I’m shipping as money comes in. I am so very sorry about that delay. If and when Entertainment in Londinium funds, the rest of those Internationals will go our asap. I will of course keep you informed here, and I’m sorry for the wait. I very much appreciate your understanding. This has been a very difficult time, but I am committed to getting everyone their books.
Thank you everyone!
