Hey guys, this might not be the best platform to ask about this, but does anyone know anything about the second print edition? I ordered my copy on backerit, and didn’t receive any updates since the payment confirmation, so I don’t even know if it’s even ready or already out for delivery. I’m not bothered by having to wait for shipping or whatever, some info would be nice though, if available. Thanks in advance

This is a fine place! Go and dig through the spam folder on whatever email you used to order. I've been sending out Mailchimp emails to the folks whose orders are delayed.
Basically: Half the orders went through a fulfillment company that is refusing to do their job. They've had the books since Nov 2 and haven't fulfilled ANY of the pre-orders. I'm taking steps to move the books to a different shipper--if that goes absolutely smoothly some folks might start receiving books at the end of December. Realistically expect yours in January.
I'm so unhappy about this that I have a hard time keeping up with the emails from folks who aren't getting the mailchimp blasts. I hope to catch up with all that this coming week.
I need to figure out how to communicate with folks that aren't getting MailChimp emails. I myself don't get mailchimp emails and nearly missed out on the IndieCade award because of it.
Yesterday I had the brainstorm of setting up an 'away from office' reply on the main email that gives a summary of the situation. Most of the folks who are emailing me are going to be emailing me because they fit the category of 'don't get the MailChimp' and 'want info about their books'.
