Today, the Spring postcards should be printed and sent to those who signed up for them, and I thought I'd prepare you all a treat for your patience - a nice, calm scene. Ackerley's brought Ava to a peaceful area overseeing Mosswood to get some sunshine and catch up on reading, but she's not feeling particularly enthralled by his plans.
Here are some details regarding how we're currently handling Seasonal Postcards: Same as Spring's, the Summer postcard will be available in digital and physical formats! Founders (pledging before May 2020) get them free of charge, as do those who became Patrons after May and are currently pledging on Tier Ava ($10) and above!
If you're on tier Feyn ($2) or Hewan ($5), you can get yours with a small fee of $3 (covering printing and shipping). *
Like before, I will prepare a Google Form for ordering postcards when I post the final design. If you're part of the Automatic Postcard Sending (APS)** service, you're automatically signed up for this and the Autumn and Winter postcards, so you're all set! Those who aren't can sign up for APS through the Form, as long as they're on Tier Ava or above. Stay tuned!
Thanks so much for your support this month. Hopefully you'll enjoy the rewards for lower tiers being posted really soon!
* (For the sake of transparency, the current average production cost for postcards [US and international] is $2.)
** The Automatic Postcard Sending (APS) service is a free subscription that allows Patrons to receive seasonal postcards for free, without needing individual prompts, whenever one becomes available. This allows them to bypass having to fill out order forms that lower-pledging or non-APS Patrons must fill for each postcard. APS lasts for 4 postcards in a row (4 seasons / 1 year), after which the subscription must be renewed. Patrons get notified when their APS service subscription is about to end. Only those who can receive postcards free of charge (Tier Ava ($10) or above and Founders) can sign up for APS.
