Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday. 2020 is finally bloody behind us.
A few quick updates to share.
Firstly, and most importantly, the PDF version of the anthology is ready to share with backers, and has already been sent to the printer. We're way ahead of schedule so far.
You should all have received your surveys from Backerkit by now. If not, please check your spam. You have to fill out these surveys to receive your rewards. There are still a few stragglers so please try to fill the survey out asap so I can send out the PDF version of the copy. And for backers of the physical tiers, you need to fill out the surveys so Backerkit can record your shipping addresses. Please let me know if you haven't received the survey.
I've also received the magnets, which all physical backers will receive. The Producer tier tote bags have also arrived, and they look fantastic! The stretch goal print and the postcards are on their way to me from the printers. It's all happening...
Also, the comic can still be ordered from the Backerkit page:

Hello backers!
As of last night Backerkit should have sent you all reward surveys. They are super easy to fill out, which is lucky because you need to complete them in order to receive your rewards! Thanks to all who have already filled them out.
The comic is actually now 100% complete and ready to send to the printer. I'll send out the digital rewards once the surveys are completed.
Please check your spam if you didn't yet receive the email from Backerkit.
And here is the absolutely marvellous pinup stretch goal reward from Lucy Sullivan:
Thanks again to everyone!

Well we finally did it! We ended up with €5637 from 193 backers, which smashed my previous record of €5132 from 142 backers. Although my official target was €3000, the truth was that I was really hoping for around €5000; so things went perfectly in that respect :) And all because of you awesome backers! It's been an exciting and nervous month and I'm extremely relieved it all worked out as well as it did. The majority of Kickstarters are unsuccessful so you never know how these things will go....
There's still a lot of work to do though. Firstly, Kickstarter will charge your credit card (this process has begun). Not long after, you will receive your reward surveys to fill out. To receive your rewards BACKERS HAVE TO FILL OUT THEIR SURVEYS! Sorry for screaming but it's very important... I'm using Backerkit to coordinate everything and they will be sending you surveys soon so keep a look out for an email from them. The surveys are very simple to fill out and you'll actually be able to add on any items that you missed out on.
On our side, we will be finalising the digital rewards and will have these out to you hopefully within a few weeks. One story is still to be coloured and then our designer will finish off the print file send to our printer - Pulsio Print. I'll post an update once printing has started.
This time around, I will take care of the distribution from France and Holland, rather than using a distributor. I'll keep everyone updated.
Once again, a massive thank you from The Murky Waters team for placing your confidence in us!

Hello backers!
We've hit the final stretch and we're 172% funded with 45 hours remaining. Not only did we smash the second stretch goal this morning, but we've hammered my previous funding and backer records. All thanks to you!
We're now aiming for our third stretch goal of €6000, which is that all physical backers will receive a mini-print of Tula Lotay's stunning Murky Waters cover. Digital backers will receive a digital version. I've had several people mention they'd like Tula's cover as a poster and I really can't disagree.
Thanks again for all your support!

Blown away today to receive our fifth pledge to the producer level tier of Murky Waters!
Not only will these backers be named in the credits as producers in the physical and digital versions of the anthology, but they will receive an exclusive producer tote bag, four copies of the anthology, The Resurrected trade paperback and loads of other Carnouche Productions merchandise. Not to mention my everlasting appreciation of your generosity. Times are tough for people right now, so I'm even more honoured than usual that you chose to help produce our project :)
The campaign is going super well and we are 158% funded with three days remaining.
While you're here, I wanted to shout-out another awesome Aussie run horror comic book on Kickstarter:
CRUCIFIX EXECUTIONER” Issues #1-5
"The perfect combination of a Gritty Crime Thriller and Gruesome Slasher Flick."
