Transphoria has finally arrived!
The big day is here at last: Transphoria arrived on our doorstep yesterday afternoon!
They're BEAUTIFUL!
We'll be doing "Pre-Fulfillment" work this week (signing books, gathering Add-on material, etc.) with a goal of starting shipping at the end of this week/beginning of next week.
If all goes according to plan, we should hopefully ship out all packages by the end of February (a month ahead of the Kickstarter Estimated Delivery Date).
We're so excited to finally get this anthology into your hands -- especially right now, when we need uplifting Trans/Nonbinary stories more than ever.
Locking Addresses
We have initiated the process of Locking Addresses on BackerKit. This means that you have two days to make changes to your shipping address before it is locked down. If anyone has had or expects an address change, please make sure to update in BackerKit.
And if you haven't completed your BackerKit Survey yet, please do so ASAP! You can recover your Survey (and Digital Rewards) by entering your Kickstarter Account Email to this recover link: https://transphoria.backerkit.com/
Book Signatures
A final reminder, regarding book signatures. Softcover graphic novels (and floppy comic issues) will be signed/autographed on the front cover by the three editors on the anthology (Dan, Kat, and Phil). Hardcover graphic novels will be signed on the inside cover.
If you would prefer unsigned copies (or copies signed differently, such as a Softcover signed on the inside cover instead of the front cover), please shoot us a DM or an email to let us know before fulfillment begins.
Thanks all!!! We'll post another Update in February as fulfillment progresses.
If you're unfamiliar with Rainbow Canvas, it's an anthology where creators of existing LGBTQ+ Webtoon/Webcomic series partner up to tell brand new stories from the world of their comic all in a single anthology.
It's a great vehicle to find your new favorite queer webcomic, and to read a whole bunch of Positive, Fluffy, Wholesome Queer Romance Short Comics without the doom-and-gloom that often permeates queer storytelling.
The new anthology launches in less than two weeks on February 10th! Follow the Pre-Launch Page below to be notified when we go live and to be among the first to learn the exciting line-up of Webcomics featured in this volume!

Transphoria In-Hands Date!
Hi Transphoria backers!
We've finally got out in-hands date for physical copies of the anthology! There were some delays due to production/art issues on our end, followed by some printing delays due to typhoons that affected our printer.
But we now have an estimated delivery date of the books of January 20th! And we even got a photo of the anthology, which looks just stunning!
They looks BEAUTIFUL!
We plan to start fulfillment as soon as we receive the books and expect that we'll have no issue completing fulfillment before the March 2025 Estimated Delivery Date we originally promised on the Kickstarter.
Expect your BackerKit Reward Surveys (where you'll provide your shipping addresses and have the option to add additional rewards, if you choose) in mid-January. We're targeting January 13th to send them out right now, along with all remaining Digital Rewards for the project.
So excited to get Transphoria into your hands!
Fulfillment Update - Printing is underway
almost 2 years ago

While we're still on track to meet (or exceed) the promised Kickstarter Estimated Delivery Date, it's been quite a journey since our last Update. We were met some printing delays due to format issues that required us to re-letter half of the book and a typhoon that hit Taiwan (where our printer is based).
But we're happy to report that the proof has been approved and the books are being printed as we speak!
Our printer expects the job to be completed in early November. And while we don't have an in-hands date yet, we'll be sure to share it as soon as we get it from our printer.
From past experience, international cargo shipping usually takes 2-3 months. So we're hopeful that we'll receive the books and begin shipping rewards in January 2025 (two months ahead of schedule from the Kickstarter Estimated Delivery date)!
All other Physical items (additional comics, art prints, stickers, collector's boxes, etc.) are either in-hand or in production, so we shouldn't see any delays on that front.
As soon as we have a firm estimated delivery date from the printer, we'll share it with backers and schedule our Reward Surveys for this project.
We're so looking forward to getting this book out to all of you ASAP! And we hope that you've enjoyed the digital copy as much as we have :)
