New Case Art!
5 months ago – Thu, Nov 13, 2025 at 05:14:42 AM

Hi there everyone!

Apologies for the delay in getting this update out to you all - but for good reason!

We finally have the new case art for the book ready to show you! Take a look!

We were able to get this approved earlier this week and wanted to show you guys ASAP! Look at how insanely beautiful it is. This wonderfully whimsical illustration is from Beth Zaiken. We couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! We definitely think this was a move in the right direction for this edition, and we hope y'all think so, too!

Hope you all are having a great week so far - we'll see you in the next one!

A Quick Check In...

Hey there everyone!

Today, we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone how you can access your pledge. Even though we're still a ways off from fulfillment, it's never a bad idea to hop in to make sure your shipping information is up-to-date! Using the following link, enter the email address that's attached to your Kickstarter account and you should be able to pull your pledge right up!

We'll post a few more reminders like this as we get closer to fulfillment. If you have any questions, please check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, feel free to email us at [email protected]. We're open Monday-Friday 8am-4pm (excluding US holidays)!

Possible Change to the Case Design!

Hi there, everyone!

We hope you're all doing well! Since the campaign launch, we’ve had a ton of great feedback about Sylvain Sarrailh & the Umeshu Lovers team's beautiful cover art, but we’ve also heard the disappointment from the people who wanted to see unique art on the case for the book. Well, not to worry - Wraithmarked hears you guys loud and clear!

Since we’re actively trying to improve our editions anyway to be the best and most beautiful books on your shelves, we wanted to let you know that we are looking into new art for the case. At this time, we can't promise it will happen, and also this is NOT a reflection on Sylvain’s art in the slightest, which we love more than anything... We just agree with folks that a $95+ book that raised over $150k should probably have more unique art, so we’re looking into our options! 

We’ll keep you up to date on that! Till next time!

A Quick Introduction...
8 months ago – Wed, Aug 13, 2025 at 07:06:53 AM

Hi there everyone!

We wanted to take a moment to do a quick intro! While interacting with us here on Kickstarter or via our support email, the majority of the time, you'll be chatting with two people!

Hi! I'm Eira!

I am in charge of coordinating the campaigns and fulfillment for nearly everything Wraithmarked does. I came to Wraithmarked a little over 3 years ago after spending more than a decade as your friendly neighborhood IT gal. Most days, I can scarcely believe it's real. But here I am, with all you fine people, eagerly waiting to get my hands on this and every book we make. :)

A couple of quick things about me. I've written a cyberpunk novel, published tabletop RPG, and occasionally play the bass guitar for local charity events. When I'm not being a total dork, I collect bumps and bruises skating with a local roller derby team under the name 'Tryst Issues'. 

Hey there! I'm Heather!

In addition to helping out my benevolent overlor- Eira, I'm also head of the Wildcrown brand! You'll likely talk to me if you check out these updates, send us a support message here on Kickstarter, or a ticket via email. I also help with coordinating our Kickstarter campaigns and fulfillment, and in between all of that, I also design our enamel pins! Being able to work creatively has been such a blessing - I love what I do. <3

Within Wraithmarked and Wildcrown, I'm a bit of a nerd. Outside of Wraithmarked and Wildcrown... also a nerd. I work part-time for funsies at my local anime store and have my own illustration business that allows me to travel to different conventions and meet some truly fantastic con-goers and fellow artists alike! I build Zoids model kits, play too many video games, collect trinkets, and dote on my cats, Soren, Taro, and Edgar.

Okay, back to Wraithmarked…

We bring all this up to let you all know that when you interact with us, you're talking to real people who have been involved with the creative process from start to finish. It's super important that your experience with us is a good one. While we can't promise completely smooth sailing— manufacturing and distribution are tricky businesses— we will do our best to keep y'all informed as the process progresses.

That's all for today! Just wanted to stop by, give y'all a peek behind the curtain, and say hello! Thanks again for supporting what we do here at Wraithmarked!

Cheers, Eira & Heather

Remaining Surveys Going Out!
9 months ago – Tue, Jul 15, 2025 at 06:02:49 AM

Hey there, folks!

Since the smoke test over the weekend was a success, we'll be sending out ALL remaining surveys today! It may take a little bit for Backerkit to process them, so we appreciate your patience!

Just to reiterate a couple of the tips from our last update, if you don't see your invite email show up by the end of the week, please take a look at the following:

• Spam Folder: Survey emails can occasionally find their way to your spam folder. If you don't see anything come through from Backerkit check your spam folder first.
• Apple ID Email Addresses: If the email address tied to your Kickstarter account is a secure Apple ID address, the survey email may be blocked entirely. The email addresses look something like this:  "[email protected]".  If you're not seeing the email from Backerkit, check to see if your email address looks like one of these. If it does, we recommend that you first change that email in Kickstarter so you avoid any future issues.
• Once you've checked both of those things send us a message here or send an email to [email protected] to let us know what your updated email address is.

If you are a Late-Pledge backer (if you choose to back this campaign after the funding period comes to an end), you will not receive a survey as all necessary information we need is collected upon check-out!

Going Forward

Here is what you can expect in the coming months as we work on fulfilling this project.

• First, please remember that we operate on a 12-14 month production and fulfillment schedule.
• As we get all of the products made, you can expect to see an update from us one to two times a month. So stay tuned here for all the latest!
• Once we have the products and are ready to start fulfillment, we will post an update and send an email giving everyone 48 hours to update their addresses if needed. Once that window closes, you will not be able to update your address yourself and will need to contact us directly to make those changes.
• With addresses locked, we will start packing and shipping. This final step will take some time. We appreciate your patience. ❤️
