FAQ: The Orientation & Gender Armory: Pride Weapon Pins and Patches!
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

Will you be doing a pin for X Gender/Orientation?

Unfortunately I can’t cover every orientation/gender identity in this campaign–there are many reasons for that! Each design takes a lot of time to think on and draw out, and I don’t want to rush a design just for the sake of including it, for one, and for two, enamel pin set up cost is very high as it is and logistically 14 total pins makes sense for this initial campaign. My final pin will be an inclusive non-gender or orientation specific pride pin that is meant to help cover gaps in the campaign as well!

This doesn’t mean I will NEVER do your request, it just means it will likely be designed after the campaign is over and will appear in a possible Series 2. If I could clone myself, trust in that I would make pins for the entire world! – but capping it like this for the campaign is just what’s feasible right now. Thanks for understanding!

Why is it sword Lesbian and not (L Weapon) Lesbian?

Real answer: Because ‘Sword Lesbian’ has become a cultural trope/meme in popular media, and it’s absolutely delightful (Pearl from Steven Universe is a recent example). But also sword lesbian inspired the entire collection–since it was a known trope, I decided to illustrate it, but since there weren’t other ‘well known’ tropes for LGBT+ weapons at the time, I invented a system of alliteration or rhymes for the rest of them to give them their own ring.

Equally real answer: Because I had to pay tribute to Utena Tenjou, First of her Name, because I am the BIGGEST Utena fan in the world so of COURSE I was gonna do it!

Will I get charged twice for selecting add-ons since I already paid for my pledge level?

No! You already paid for your pledge + shipping via Kickstarter when the campaign ended.

Any add-ons you select in backerkit (with relevant shipping, if they have it) are a separate thing and all you will be charged for when surveys close. If you select a higher pledge level, you will be charged for the difference between that and your old level, but you won’t be charged again for whatever you already had credit for!

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
