OXYMORON: Killing Time | Deluxe Hardcover Anthology

OXYMORON: Killing Time Print Proofs in Hand!
18 days ago – Tue, Dec 03, 2024 at 11:54:42 AM

Hey, friends! Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving, and are easing into the holiday season feeling rested and well. 

We wanted to let you know that we just received print-proofs on the new Oxymoron: Killing Time hardcover. (See video for a closer look!)

The book is looking great! I did catch one small error on the cover that I'll want our printer to fix before going into mass production, and we've flagged that with them today. Once that's fixed, we'll be greenlighting our large production run, and getting ever closer to getting books into your hands! 

There are still 46 of you who have yet to complete that survey, so if you want to get your digital files and not delay fulfillment... get that survey completed ASAP! 

We will also be locking down orders and charging any extra cards soon in order to move forward with fulfillment.  

This book was a long time coming, and I can't thank you all enough for helping to make it a reality! 

Best,

Tyler James

Oxymoron: Killing Time - Digital Rewards Unleashed!
about 1 month ago – Fri, Nov 15, 2024 at 07:18:57 AM

Hey, friends! In case you missed the download email from update, we wanted to make sure you know that OXYMORON: KILLING TIME Digital Download PDFs have been released!  

You can access your digital files for the new anthology through Backerkit. 

CLICK HERE TO ACCESS YOUR BACKERKIT AND GET THE DOWNLOADS

Note, when you log-in, you'll now find TWO version of OXYMORON Killing Time available. We heard some feedback that the initial digital file we released was too compressed. We did run our PDF through a compression tool to help lower the download files size, but it seems that on some devices, that compression hurt it's readability. 

The last thing we want to do is make it so reading our comics is not an enjoyable experience, which is why we released a HIGH RES digital file of Oxymoron: Killing Time as well. 

We really do appreciate the feedback... we can't do this without you, and want to make sure you always have a great experience with ComixTribe titles. 

Don't Forget to Get Those Surveys In! 

However, there are still 62 of you who have yet to complete that survey, so if you want to get your digital files and not delay fulfillment... get that survey completed ASAP! 

Thanks again for your amazing support!

A big shout out to the 370 backers who have already filled out their OXYMORON: KILLING TIME surveys on Backerkit. Your prompt attention to this means we're able to proceed swiftly and move forward with fulfillment.

I've shared drafts of the completed book internally with the team, and everyone is thrilled with how the new story came together... can't wait to get it into your hands next!

As promised, we've just sent out the OXYMORON: Killing Time Shipping Surveys, powered by Backerkit, to all backers yesterday afternoon.  So, those survey links should be sitting in your inbox now if you haven't got them already!

CLICK HERE IF YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR SURVEY

NOTE: After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page RIGHT HERE.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at Backerkit.

A big shout out to the 281 backers who have already filled out their OXYMORON: KILLING TIME survey on Backerkit. Your prompt attention to this means we're almost able to finalize order counts for the book and move forward with fulfillment. 

🛒COMPLETE ADD-ON LIST AVAILABLE:

When you fill out the survey, you'll have a wide variety of awesome add-ons to choose from. Here is what you'll find available in the survey:

Note: Some items are extremely limited, and will be available on a first to fill out the survey bases.

CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY

Note, we're hoping to send out digital files later this month, which means if you want to be thanked as a backer in the PDF, we need your names ASAP! So, the survey deadline to be included in the PDF is November 7, 2024.

Note: If you ordered T-shirts, we'll be locking your orders shortly after they are submitted so we can start shipping those out soon. 

For everyone else, we are currently planning on locking in orders on 11/30, and any add-ons made on Backerkit with credit cards will be charged on 11/30. (Note: If you choose to pay for add-ons or shipping through Paypal, those charges will be charged immediately, because that's how Paypal does things.)

Thanks once again for your continued support! We love making comics for you!

OXYMORON: SURVEY OUT TOMORROW! PREVIEW NOW!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 07:45:32 AM

Hey there, Oxymoron: Killing Time backers! Tyler James here with a few fulfillment announcements for you...

#1: SHIPPING SURVEYS GOING OUT TOMORROW 

And speaking of surveys, we're planning on sending out our SHIPPING SURVEYS early on Thursday, 10/21/24, through Backerkit. Our survey is designed to collect your shipping information and for you to confirm any add-ons you may have pledged for during the OXYMORON: KILLING TIME campaign. 

You'll use the survey to confirm your OXYMORON: KILLING TIME pledge, make some selections if necessary, and to upgrade your pledge if you so choose.

And for INTERNATIONAL BACKERS, who were not charged anything for shipping during the Kickstarter campaign, the survey will also be where you'll be able to pay for shipping using our TOTAL ORDER WEIGHT shipping. (Remember, US shipping was and still is free.)

ADD-ON EXTRAS, PLEDGE UPGRADES & DROPPED PLEDGE RECOVERY

Any Kickstarter add-ons or special perks will be reflected in your order on Backerkit. And even if you didn't select any add-ons during the Kickstarter campaign, you'll be able to upgrade your pledge to a higher level or choose some ADD-ON EXTRAs when you fill out your survey as well!

Most backers will receive the OXYMORON: KILLING TIME, powered by Backerkit, on the morning of Thursday, 10/31.  However, about 5% of backers will receive their survey this afternoon, as we conduct our "SMOKE TEST" to make sure the survey is working as expected before we send out to the full backer list. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

Unfortunately, we were sad to see that 20 backers' pledges were dropped as Kickstarter was unable to resolve their credit card charge issues...

However, those backers WILL be able to fix this through the Backerkit Survey.

Also, if you made a mistake in your pledge and selected the wrong reward, you will be able to correct it when the survey comes, as well as provide us with additional info so we can fulfill your pledge!

WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE BACKERS' SECTION OF THE PDF? YOU MUST FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY BY 11/7/2024! 

We'll be putting a page thanking backers by name in the PDF. We need your surveys in ASAP to create that page.  SO please, don't delay in completing that survey if you want the acknowledgement. 

More surprises await when your Survey Arrives!

So keep an eye out for it soon!
