What's your favorite romance trope? - Backer Achievement Reached!
4 months ago – Mon, Nov 18, 2024 at 07:54:52 AM

New backer poll! Vote on your favorite romance trope. I'm well aware we all have multiple tropes we like, but again, the poll only lets you choose one. So feel free to choose one on the poll and comment below your other favorite tropes!

Backer Achievement
We've reached the 300 backer achievement, so all orders will come with a free standard bookmark. The design will be forthcoming. We're also only 50 backers away from the 500 backer achievement, which is a free sticker with each pledge (also design forthcoming).



Cheers,
Liz

What to expect next!

Hey everyone, 

First, I want to thank everyone who's backed the campaign so far. I am forever grateful to all my returning backers and those who have shared my work with their friends and family. I'm happy to see you all back again for this new campaign. 

I know many of you backed the original Ink and Enamel campaign, and this campaign is an extension into two of my favorite genres. I'm a huge romance reader, as well as fantasy romance reader, so I wanted a project that focused on that niche. 


I have had so many ideas for this project!

I have had endless ideas for this project, like an entire notes app on my phone filled with ideas. As you may be able to tell from the pins on the page already, some are inspired by existing books, some are more general, and some are based off popular tropes found in the romance and fantasy genre. Anyone can see that there's clearly been quite a few references to ACOTAR and Fourth Wing, but I've been attempting to hit up some other books that may not be my personal favorites, but that others love and enjoy (i.e. the lotr pin)
As I always tell my backers, you are free to leave suggestions about what pins you may want to see. I can't guarantee they will get made, but I do take all suggestions into consideration. Often, some suggestions that don't make the current campaign, still end up on my ideas list and find their way into the next campaign. 

There is no way I will be able to design every idea I've had for this campaign, however, my pintopia 2025 project theme is still undecided. It's very possible this project theme continues into that project. 


What's Next?

More designs!
All the designs currently on the page have been unlocked, and more will be coming. I have designs that are ready to go, and I have designs I'm still working on. Keep an eye on the updates section of the campaign because I'll be releasing new designs every so often. I am not the type of pin maker who plans ahead of time and has all their designs done before the campaign launches. I prefer to do what I call "live designing" which is essentially me designing throughout the campaign. This has always allowed me to make adjustments to designs in my drafts folder, but also listen to your suggestions and come up with entirely new designs.

Early Bird pledge levels will be available until November 16th at 2pm EST, so tell your bookish friends and family before those tiers disappear. 

Cheers,
Liz
