Hi,
I hope you're well.
I just wanted to let you know I've set up the Backerkit survey and their reviewing before I can send it out. All normal stuff. They say it won't take longer than a couple of days for review, so hopefully Thursday/Friday for the smoke test?
If you want a sneak peek at what's available (warning - there's a lot!) take a look at the pre-order store:
Smoke test is out! Latest Kickstarter shout out!

Hi,
I hope you're well.
Backerkit came back with the okay for the pledge manager - so I've sent it out the 'smoke test' - which sends the surveys out to 5% of our backers. It might be you! Please check and fill in so I can be happy it's set up correctly.
If all is okay, I'll send out the rest of the surveys this evening or tomorrow morning, depending on the numbers!
Clodagh 1 & 2
I would't be much of a business person/marketer if I didn't let you know about our current Kickstarter. It's for a horror comic, and it's drawn by The Thing on the Doorstep artist Willi Roberts, so it could well be something you'd like.
As a witch decapitates, devours and destroys anyone who stands in her way, ex-warrior Clodagh must battle through a world of mercenaries and murderous hulks to reach and rescue her stolen family.

Hi,
I hope you're well.
Today is new stretch goal day! After hitting our third stretch goal, it's time to announce the final character page to be added to the book - Ephraim & Asenath!
We're still £1.5k away, but fingers crossed we'll hit it by the end of the campaign!
Speak soon,

Hi,
Hope you're well.
A quick update - now that we've hit Stretch Goal 2, I wanted to announce number 3!
When we hit £8000, we'll be adding our third character profile - Clara - to Part One.
Thank you for supporting us! We still have some of the variant cover available, if you'd like to add it to your reward.
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon

Hi,
I hope you're well.
Reviews
I've updated the campaign page with the reviews we've had in so far, and wanted to send them out to you directly.
"It has Netflix written all over it and it’s great to see such strong Scottish talent working at a level comparable with Tynion or Bunn."Big Glasgow Comic Page
"A slow sense of horror creeps in throughout the comic with little moments of terrifying imagery keeping us readers on our toes and delightfully ill-at-ease." The Newest Rant
"Beautifully crafted, delightfully menacing, and peppered with moments of sheer horror, The Thing on the Doorstep is a wonderful Lovecraftian tale which sinks it’s teeth in early and doesn’t let go."Super Serious Comics
"Wow! After finishing off reading this first part I immediately want to read more. It is a fantastic beginning to a chilling story and this first part lays the groundwork for what is to come."3 Million Years
Suffice to say, I'm pretty chuffed with the response so far!
Limited Edition Variant Cover
Later today, around 6pm, we'll be adding a limited edition variant cover, drawn by Willi Roberts, to the add-ons available. There will only be 100 printed, and we're not adding a specific reward tier for them - they will just be another add-on that you can select via Kickstarter.

The variant cover will be signed by me, and numbered out of 100. They will cost £12 each and be limited to 1 per backer.
They'll also be more news about the next stretch goal soon!
