Holy crap!! We are blown away by your support of this project! Thank you so, so much, from the entire creative team. You have made this project into something really special! Here's what's happening next:

• First, we'll need to wait until Kickstarter deposits the funds.
• Then, we'll need to place orders for the zine itself, and all the bonus merch.
• Since we hit our enamel pin stretch goal, that means we'll need to order enamel pins! Enamel pins usually take a while to manufacture, so we might ship them separately, after shipping everything else. We'll be checking our options for the best solution there.
• Once we have secured our merch here at Foxfaer Studio, then we'll send out backer surveys!
• The backer survey will allow you to grab some addons that you might've missed during the Kickstarter itself... and we'll have some new things available that we haven't announced yet!
• If you backed at the $500-1000 tier, your backer survey will also contain a survey about your mothboy character, so that I can design one custom-tailored for you!
• After surveys are locked in, we'll start preparing merch based on survey results, and then ship them out.
• Once merch is shipped out, we'll deliver the digital edition as a download link.
•  I'll begin work on $500-1000 tier mothboy art as soon as I have the survey results, and each of those will take a few weeks to deliver as well.
• Any of these points might change suddenly... rising costs and global events are doing weird things to Kickstarter fulfillment, as you no doubt may suspect, but I will let you know as soon as I know!

You are amazing!! Thank you so, so much for supporting this project! I can't wait for you to see it!

Last Chance + Stretch Goals!
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 01, 2022 at 04:28:37 PM

At the time of me posting this, there are only 18 hours left before the end of the Kickstarter. Wow, that month just flew by! This is your last chance to get some exclusive rewards. The zine itself will be available in the Coelary shop after the Kickstarter has ended, but this Kickstarter is the only way you can get some of the exclusive rewards, such as the exclusive $75-level print, or the blind-box mothboy adoptables at $200, or even custom mothboy art at $500-1000! 

Also, it seems likely that we might hit the $12,000 stretch goal - at that level, every $20+ pledge will receive a free bonus set of vintage-style coasters with mothboy art on them, straight from the lounge at Café Dusk! You like free bonuses, right?

And if we get to $13,000, the creative team will receive another $50 bonus to their payout - that's a total of $100 bonus for their amazing work. Can we make it? I think we can!

And there's always a chance we could make it to $14,000 and unlock enamel pins... 

Thank you all so, so much for spreading the word about Mothboy Monthly. It was made collaboratively, from start to finish, and I am so glad that you are a part of it.

Bonus Acquired!!

We just hit $11,000 - that means that every artist and writer who contributed their creative works to the zine receives an additional $50 bonus to their payout! That's awesome!! Thank you so much for supporting queer independent media. It really means a lot to us.

We've got another stretch goal coming up at $12,000 (retro mothboy coaster set), and at $13,000, the creative team will receive another $50 bonus to their payout. Can we hit those goals?

We've still got about two days to go -  the Kickstarter ends at 10am PST on November 2nd. This is your last chance to upgrade your pledge! 

Thank you so much for your support - I am so excited to see this project come to life!

P.S. Have a Happy Halloween!!

We hit our first Stretch Goal!!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Oct 29, 2022 at 08:10:10 AM

Wow, wow!! I can't believe it! We got fully funded just two days ago, and we've already smashed through our first stretch goal - that is so cool! Here's some details for what you just unlocked:

Stretch Goal #1: Every $20+ backer will receive a set of postcard-sized mini-prints for free with their zine and other physical rewards. These prints will feature both mothboy art from the zine itself, and other mothboy art not found anywhere else! 

So what's next?

If Mothboy Monthly hits $11,000 in funding, that means the amazing creative art team will receive a $50 raise. Every creative contributor to the zine would get an additional $50 to their payout! They've worked so hard to make this zine into something special, and I think they deserve it! And I think you deserve more rewards, too. Maybe a mothboy character of your own? Now is a really good time to up your pledge and receive some incredible one-of-a-kind rewards.

For example: 

• $75 pledges will receive an exclusive sexy mothboy pinup
• $200 pledges will receive a blind-box mothboy adoptable from our creative team (LIMITED SLOTS)
• $500 pledges will receive a custom mothboy character designed to your specifications (includes a detailed ref sheet from CW Foxfaer!)
• $1000 pledges will receive a custom mothboy character designed to your specifications, AND a high quality pinup painting of that character! (Same quality and style as the $75 pledge reward)

There's only a short time left to get these rewards - after the Kickstarter is over, they're gone. Don't wait to be a part of mothboy history!

Thank you all so, so much for your incredible support - you make it all worth it!

We did it!!

Wow, already passed our pledge goal with almost a week left!! That's really amazing. Thank you all so much for pledging - I can't wait for you to see what we've made for you!

So, what happens next?

We're not done yet! Like I said... we've still got almost a week left! A lot can happen in a week. Here's some upcoming milestones:

Stretch Goals! We have a few stretch goals, like more prints, Mothboy Monthly coasters (each with a mothboy printed on them), enamel pins... and more? Our first stretch goal is $10,000, and I have a feeling we're going to hit it!

Artist raises! Every $2000 over our pledge goal gives each artist and writer a $50 bonus to their payment. Our team did really amazing work, and it would be wonderful to pay them more for their efforts. Our first artist raise is at $11,000. Let's pledge till we get there!

Something else? If there's something you'd like to see come out of this Kickstarter, let me know! I'm always open to suggestions for how to make this project cool, and to keep expanding the awesome bug world of Coelary.

Remember, two new reward tiers were added this week! The $75 Exclusive Print tier, and the $200 Mothboy Blind-box Adoptable tier. Both are great ways to get more moths in your life! Be sure to check them out!

Thank you so, so much for your incredible support, and keep spreading the word! The world needs mothboys!
