How it'll work.
When I have the books in hand, counted, and ready to be shipped out, along with the signed art prints for the first 250 books, I will post on here for all paying members to see, that the books are ready.
2 hours later I will make another post for all the free members on here with the same info.
2 hours after that, I will post on social media, Instagram, Blue Sky and Tiktok (if it's not banned by then) letting everyone know that the books are in the shop.
I will be ordering 500 copies of the book, but will be adding only 300 to the shop at first. So if they are all sold out right away, don't panic. I will have 200 more to add once I get caught up on the orders. I am doing this all by myself, and me and my little printer had a rough time with just 200 books last time. So be patient.
After I get caught up, and ready to add the other 200 books (or more if I choose to order more) then I will announce it on here for all, so those who missed out on a book at the 1st wave can grab one.
You can order stickers and other items as well, and they will be shipped with the books. I am adding a special printed thank you card to the book orders as well as a sticker made for the launch. I will not be doing hand drawn thank you cards for the comics, my poor arthritic hands would fall off. I am considering upgrading my shop for the launch so I can separate all the sticker listings to make it easier to find the designs you like. I haven't upgraded my shop to have more listings because it cost a significant amount yearly and I needed to be sure I could justify the cost.
So that is all in a nutshell for now. I will update everyone as I go. I will be announcing the stickers and art print for this month's rewards soon as well.

Are you still planning to do the 2 hour thing now with the preorder or was this just the idea for when you had the book in hand
Still doing the 2 hour spaced announcements. Storenvy is a small platform, I don't want it to crash. I also wanna give incentive to those at the paying levels to get a head start, and then other members here before the general public.
Aaaaand I'm sure I'll miss it anyway again because I work overnight and it'll be my luck that I'll be asleep when all three announcements go out. But congratulations and I hope I'm able to get a signed copy!
I work 3rd shift as well lol. I'm on eastern central time, if that helps some. I will have another batch on back up for when I get caught up with the f1st wave, and I will try to keep a stock of books on hand for the shop and in person events.
