THANK YOU.
All the months of writing, prepping and promotion paid off thanks to all of you. Plus, I'm now super excited we get to complete our story in Super Best Friend #3! So, I can't say this enough, but THANK YOU.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Well, I'm going to take a few days to recover from the Kickstarter train and then... begin fullfillment.
Here's a rough schedule of how fulfillment of this project will happen.
Mid-March - Kickstarter Funds are released to me
Late-March - BackerKit Surveys will go out. (I use Backerkit for my surveys.)
Last week of March -- I will reach out to all ZOOM CALLS, SCRIPT REVIEWS, PODCAST ADS, and ART COMISSIONS, PATREON BONUS Backers, ETC and get everything squared away those Backers.
2nd Week of April -- SURVEYS due. (If you don't fill out your survey, I can't include you in the THANK YOU PAGE!)ALSO -- if you used AN APPLE PAY ACCOUNT for your KS pledge -- you will need to change that as BackerKit and KS doesn't forward allmessages to those accounts for some reason. FYI!
3rd Week of April - Book goes to Printer. (This process takes at minimum 30 days because of the paper shortage now).
Mid-August - We get all the books and fullfillment begins! All the books are shipped and the backers are happy! (I usually allow a month for this process to complete because myself and my wife will be the only two people packaging all the rewards.
Mid -September -- Expected delivery to US backers
Late-Septemebr -- Expected delivery for International Backers - Estimated 4 Weeks
We will start working on the next Kickstarter for Issue 3 and continue telling you THANK YOU until you're sick of it. YOU HELPED US DO THIS, AND WE...
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️!

The Disconauts are a band of funky space travellers that roam the Discoverse as a force for good - righting wrongs and playing songs. It is a light-hearted read, designed to bring a smile to your faces. A welcome pick-me-up for these challenging times. Our aim was to create something packed full of fun, action, adventure and silliness just like the animated TV shows we loved as kids. Those shows - He-Man, BraveStarr, The Real Ghostbusters - were very much in our minds as we came up with the idea of The Disconauts, who are intended to be a kind of A-Team of disco. We have pulled together outrageous storylines and puns galore in this affectionate, tongue-in-cheek, homage to superhero teams and disco. SCOOP UP THEIR FIRST TWO ISSUES HERE.
Until next time: THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUPER BEST FRIEND FLY HIGH!
