Vote over at TWC and you can see thumbnails! Yay?
Okay! One page for this week and then I'm back to normal next week. Thanks everyone for being super chill about me taking breaks occasionally lol. I just don't want to hit a wall where I need to walk away for an extended period of time, because it's easier to take the time I need gradually here and there.
Speaking of time, my Kickstarter plans for October got hosed! It was in the works, but Hiveworks doesn't have the resources or people available to help run it for me this year. I'm instead going to try and get this off the ground next year myself and some local friends, because it's probably time that I dip my toes in and learn how to do this on my own. Here are the currently planned tiers I have in mind, so far:
-$5 tip/support tier - digital artbook
-$10 digital artbook/ebook tier
-$30 book tier, ebook, digital artbook
-$40(?) tier - book, mini prints, 2-3 stickers depending on stretch goals
-$70(?) tier - books 1 & 2 plus prints and stickers and a signed bookplate
-$90(?) tier - books 1 & 2 plus prints, stickers, signed bookplate and all the leftover stuff from book 1's Kickstarter...this tier would be limited but we have quite a few pins left, but the shipping cost is higher, so that's a bummer
The stretch goals would be to add a 3rd sticker and the mega stretch goal would be a printed art book for all the physical book tiers, I think. Again, shipping??? May be awful??? So I have to look into that. If it's not a very hefty art book, it hopefully wouldn't jack up the cost too badly.
If you live in or around the Chicago area, I'll be at some library conventions coming up for the rest of the summer! The Eisenhower Library in Harwood Heights on Sept 14th, and Gail Borden Library in Elgin on Oct 19th. I'll keep social media updated closer to the events to remind people! I had to cancel on CAKE because I had another obligation that day! Sorry anyone who wanted to see me there. Pray for me, I don't usually leave the house for this many things lol

Tote bags, hoodies, tshirts, prints and mugs are all available in the Hivemill store! The hoodies are unisex sizing, but the tshirts run rather fitted, so I recommend sizing up! Book 1 is available in paperback and ebook format, as well as the merch from the Kickstarter :).
HTBAW Fandom Wiki is up and running! Thanks to Myk Streja and ShitaraRen for tons of help with moderation efforts and everyone else who's done a ton of work on adding information and filling out the Wiki. Thank you everyone for contributing and it's an amazing and super detailed resource!
Feel free to check out my goofy Amazon store if you're so inclined (this is an ad, as I get a tiny commission if you do buy something), or I have some merch up on Society6 if you're looking for my old store link! Thanks to everyone who's come out to support me through Ko-fi and Patreon!
