In today’s edition of the Crowdfund Café, we’re discussing a new membership drive and extending Mr. Dino’s pre-orders for Pride Merch.
Let’s start with…
MR. DINO PRIDE KEYCHAINS AND STICKERS
Due to the supplier being on vacation until October 5, we’re extending the pre-order window. Mr. Dino Pride Keychains and Stickers are now available UNTIL OCTOBER 6 at 11:59 pm EST.
The campaign has already hit the base goal. If the campaign can get to $244 raised, backers will receive an additional sticker from Mr. Dino’s friend, Bronto. To find out more or to support the campaign, check out the Crowdfundr.
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Kelci D. Crawford is running a membership drive for their Ko-Fi memberships and Fan Club offerings!

HOLIDAY SPECIAL

THE LEGEND OF JAMIE ROBERTS, VOLUME 2
The printer is still putting files together for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, Volume 2. Digital rewards have already been sent out. If you did not receive them, please email kelci@fantasyvilleproductions.com so that can get sorted right away.
In the meantime, stay tuned to Kelci’s newsletter for updates as soon as Kelci gets them.
It’s time for another serving from the Crowdfund Café! We’re talking about Mr. Dino’s Goal, exclusive treasure from The Legend, and more.
In Crowdfund Café, we’re rounding up the latest news on crowdfunding campaigns that Fantasyville Productions is running, doing fulfillment for, or otherwise has a hand in.
Without further ado, here’s the latest from the Crowdfund Café…
MR. DINO PRIDE KEYCHAINS
Mr. Dino has hit the goal! The campaign will continue running until Sept 30 for pre-orders – and I’m looking at rolling the campaign over into a dedicated shop. Crowdfundr as a platform allows for that. I’m still figuring out the details, and will give an update as soon as that’s figured out.
Until then, any support you can give the campaign is appreciated, whether that’s backing it or sharing the link with friends.
THE LEGEND OF JAMIE ROBERTS, VOLUME 2
The first 10 backers of The Legend should now have their exclusive phone wallpapers! Check your inboxes.
In the meantime, the files need one final read-through before they’re sent off to the printer. The ISBN and barcode will also need to be handled.
As that is getting worked on, digital rewards will be sent out over the next two weeks. Backers should get all their digital rewards before Sept 28. More updates will come as things get finished.
BE NOT APURRED KEYCHAINS
The financial report is coming together and should be out by next week. Tune in this Tuesday at 6 pm EDT on Kelci’s YouTube live stream. There, they will give shout-outs to everyone who backed the campaign at the top of the episode. The segment will also be made into a separate video for later viewing.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned on the email newsletter for further updates and behind-the-scenes clips!

A financial report is coming soon, to break down gross sales, costs, and what profit was left. In the future, financial reports will be provided for all crowdfunding campaigns once rewards are fulfilled.

OTHER UPDATES…
Kelci will be re-designing their website this week. As part of this re-design, all Crowdfunding announcements and shop announcements are moving here to the official Fantasyville website.
In this week’s edition of Crowdfund Café, we’re covering new projects coming up in the next two weeks. We’re also sharing partner campaigns that are coming soon or wrapping up!
TALES OF TOMORROW
Tales of Tomorrow: The Sci-fi Anthology has 6 days left and they haven’t met their goal yet! Back it if you can, or share the campaign link far and wide. If you can do both, that’s great, too. Rewards include full-color copies of the anthology and commissions from the artists.
The order has been placed with the key chain printer, but it will take at least 3 weeks for the orders to arrive. Backers can, however, expect to get their digital rewards before the end of the week.
MR. DINO STORE
We have plans to launch a shop front for Mr. Dino & Friends merch! Stay tuned for more updates.
IN CONCLUSION…
As one campaign funds, another is fulfilling rewards, and a third is about to launch – with a fourth on the horizon.
