Hey there, Destinations backer!

We're very pleased to announce that, as of today…

Fulfillment Is Complete!

That means all digital rewards for The Destinations Anthology have been distributed, and all physical rewards have been shipped out! 

There are a few stragglers, as always. There are always a few packages that are delayed, usually because those backers haven't filled out their surveys yet, so we don't have an address to ship to. (Hint: If you haven't completed your survey yet, you can do so anytime by clicking here!)

We're so excited that these books are going out into the world. They are truly gorgeous. We couldn't be happier with the way they look, feel, and read. 

They're SO gorgeous!

We'd love to see photos of yours when they arrive, so feel free to post pictures on social media and tag us (we're @oneshipress everywhere)!

If you find anything amiss with your rewards—damage during shipping, a missing item, etc.—please let us know ASAP! We want your experience to be amazing, so we're happy to work with you to make sure that happens. You can always send us a message via Kickstarter, or email us directly at [email protected]!

In the meantime, take a peek at our new campaign for…

Monkey Maids: A Tale from Existentia!

This 80-page novella by Lynsey G follows fast-talking Leo, who got bored while his roommate was on vacation and purchased 17 monkeys out of the back of a comic book.

Now, with his roommate's return looming, he's got to learn how to feed and groom them…plus how to convince Liz to let him keep the whole troop.

Renting them out for parties seems like a logical choice. 

What could possibly go wrong?

With cover art (above) and interior illustrations by Jayel Draco, Monkey Maids is both a hilariously wacky story and a visual feast!

…and watch the campaign video to the end! The bloopers are definitely worth it.

We're 76% Fulfilled!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 24, 2023 at 01:48:23 PM

Well hello there, Destinations fam!

It's been a little while since we updated you on the fulfillment process, so today it's time for a quick check-in!

As of today, we are 76% fulfilled! We just dropped off about 45 packages at our local post office, and there are still about 40 packages waiting to go out.

Currently, we're waiting for more shipping supplies to come in—we ordered Gemini mailers and stay-flat mailers last week, but none have arrived yet. So, there's been a short pause in fulfillment. But we'll be back at it just as soon as those supplies arrive at Oneshi Press HQ!

We'd love to see photos of your books when they arrive, so feel free to send them to us or post them on social media when you get yours! You can tag us @oneshipress so we can see the beautiful anthologies in your awesome hands!

We appreciate every single one of you, and we can't wait to hear what you think of the Destinations Anthology!

In the meantime, check out our upcoming campaign for MonkeyMaids:ATalefromExistentia!

 It's the second novella in our co-founder Lynsey G's collection of weird fiction, and it's…well, it's a barrel full of monkeys. Literally.

In Monkey Maids, Leo gets bored while his roommate, Liz, is away. So he mail-orders 17 monkeys and decides to rent them out for parties.

When Liz returns to find a troop of primates in her living room, she is less than pleased.

Can Leo convince her to keep them? Or will "Party Primates" fold before it even gets started? And will his next business venture, "Monkey Maids," ever come to fruition?

Find out in Monkey Maids, which launches next Tuesday on Kickstarter!

THE BOOKS ARE HERE!

It's time to party, Destinations backer!

THE ANTHOLOGIES ARE HERE!

And they are so, so, so beautiful!

UGH, they're SO pretty!

This was our first time working with Mixam Printing, and, folks…we are so glad we took our production liaison's advice.

They matte covers are deliciously soft to the touch, the colors throughout are practically jumping off the page, and the lines are crisp and clean.

We're absolutely in love with these books. Play the short video below for a sexy slow pan across the cover!

And we can't wait to get these anthologies out to you! 

Fulfillment Starts Next Week!

So, counting down from the moment we publish this update, you'll have 48 hours to update your address on BackerKit! If you've moved or need to have your rewards delivered to a different address, now's the time to do it!

We will start shipping out books and other rewards next week, so be sure you've got everything you want from the BackerKit store, all your information corrected, and all your i's dotted and t's crossed!

Safe & Swift,

Here's Another Campaign We Love…

Root & Branch

The continuing adventures of Ariana the Druid and her epic quest to find the Great Tree. A beautiful watercolor webcomic in book form.

More than one year ago, Ariana set out on a great journey seeking answers, her quest taking her far from her homelands and the People of the Moon. She is determined to save them from a mysterious malady that is destroying her folk, and will stop at nothing to find answers.

Along her path she has found a companion, quick with a sword, but not a smile. He, too, is far from home, but not quick to tell the reasons why. Together they are on the path to the Great Tree - the ancient pilgrimage of their once great civilization. The legendary Keeper may have answers that will save the elves that once thrived across Erda.

They can only hope that it’s still standing...

Fulfillment Update #3 + 24 Hours to Go…
over 1 year ago – Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 08:02:47 PM

Hello, Destinations backer!

It seems like a good time for an update on your physical rewards, so here's the latest:

  • We placed our order for books with Mixam printing at the very end of February, but there has been some rather intense back-and-forth on small printing matters, so the final order was only placed on this Monday!
  • This is our first time printing with Mixam, so we don't know exactly when to expect the printed books. We hear that Mixam has a pretty quick turnaround on printing, but we're going to be cautious on our estimates just in case something goes wrong.
  • We'll likely be shipping these books out in early April. Stay tuned for more information!

In the meantime, we'd love to hear from anyone who's read their digital copy of DESTINATIONS!

What did you think? Do you have a favorite comic, character, or idea? Tell us everything in the comments below!

Don't Forget! 

We're entering the final 24 hours of our campaign for Children of Gaia: The Mag Tower tabletop game, comic, and coloring book!

  • Custom dice created to look like objects in the game
  • A stunningly illustrated short comic set in the world of the game
  • A beautiful coloring book of fantasy creatures in the world of the game
