The fantasy/comedy webcomic goes on lockdown with magic, mysteries, and mask-wearing.
Volume 5: Snow Drops has arrived!
Quick notes on what's next:
- 4 of you haven't filled our your backer surveys yet. Please do!
- Everyone else has gotten a "last chance to update your shipping address" email. In 48 hours, edits will be locked. Then I start packing up things for the mail...
1) Mini-prints are here! And cat-approved:
It's hard to tell in a still photo, but they are extremely shiny.
2) Ebook coupons are all distributed! Everyone should have gotten an email, and here's a primer on how you can also find them on your BackerKit survey.
There are still a handful of backers who haven't actually filled out the surveys. If you're having any trouble getting to it, let me know! If you're just procrastinating...yeah, I know that feel.
3) Files for the books have gone to the printer! I even got a coupon from them, so the Volume 5 order actually came out slightly cheaper than last year's Volume 4. Nice.
I'll post another update when the proof copy gets here. Look forward to it!

The Volume 5: Snow Drops ebook is finally here!
Backers who got the ebook, look out for a DM with your coupon for 100% off.
If you spot any typos, duplicate strips, or other issues, please let me know! The high-resolution files have not been sent to the printer yet -- there's still time to fix any issues before the paperbacks happen.
All other ebook coupons will be distributed in the next week or two via BackerKit. That includes ebooks you didn't get during the campaign, but picked up as add-ons during the BackerKit survey.
And of course, if you missed the survey, you can still buy ebooks directly through the Leif & Thorn Gumroad store.

Only 10 backer surveys left to come in!
(If you can't find the email, or you're having some other trouble with the survey, feel free to PM me, and I'll send you a new link.)
And I only have 2 bonus sketches left to draw. At this rate I'll be done by Christmas.
The survey deadline is December 31, which means the Leif & Thorn Volume 5 ebooks will be distributed no later than "early January."
Readers could theoretically see them earlier, if every last backer fills out their information ASAP...but we get it, it's the holiday season, people have a million other things to do. So no worries, you have the whole rest of the year.
(Remember, your address isn't locked when you fill out the backer survey! If you have a move coming up, it's fine, you'll be able to update your shipping info before I start packing.)

Quick snapshot of where we stand so far:
Most popular add-on: the All Downhill From Here ebook
Most popular mini-print: a 4-way tie, between all the designs except "Goth Pride Problems" (aww)
Most lucrative add-on: BICP Master's Edition - Hardcover
Raffle tickets bought for Original Cover Art: 9, up from 2 for the last volume (guess I can't flip a coin for it this year...)
With the old-fashioned Kickstarter surveys, I could give you the option to update your address, but nothing else. With BackerKit surveys, you can update all your answers and/or pick more add-ons for the next few weeks.
