A collection of Nina Mutik's webcomics about being nonbinary, polyamorous, queer and kinky in a world that struggles to keep up with any of it, not forgetting silly jokes to improve your day.

It's moving, political and hilarious. The world changes easier with a laugh. Nina has drawn their thoughts online since 2010 to change the world into a better place and this book celebrates their unique voice and the last few years of a decade of activism through comics.

Why Crowdfundr

Despite previous experience with other platforms, at Dragonhide Studios we don't want to work with companies that eff with NFTs or Cryptocurrency, as they are scams. So it's our first foray with Crowdfundr, and we've been shifting existent 'followers' onto a mailing list. We like the Crowdfundr's code of ethics section, and their in-person appearance at the UK comics convention Thought Bubble.

Schedule

We're hoping to debut the completed book at Helsinki Comics Fest (31/8-01/9) in Nina's home country of Finland, and Thought Bubble (16-17/11) in the UK. We should have 6 weeks after the campaign closes for a test print, full print run, and to get the books to Helsinki, but delays and supply issues are always possible. We'll be working as fast as possible through July to prevent this.

If you'd like to collect your copy in person, let us know in your order, or send us an email with your pledge details, and which of the above events you will be attending.

Financial risks and cost division

Crowdfundr uniquely doesn't include postage in the campaign goal, so bearing that in mind we've lowered the goal to match the estimated difference. There's an issue of potentially underestimating costs of shipping, or increases in costs for production after our initial estimates.
To cover this we have a 9.2% safety margin to cover unexpected costs.

Our costs breakdown is as follows:

• £2,000 Printing Costs - the vast majority of all this will go towards the print run.
  We're looking to print at least 400 book copies, maybe more if we go over our goal, and they'll be printed in Hertfordshire, UK.
• £120 Delivery - We plan to then split these 400+ copies between the Finland and the UK for the aforementioned conventions, Helsinki Comics Fest and Thought Bubble. 
• £55 Stickers - Stickers for the Comics with Benefits Tier
• £55 Packaging - Sustainably sourced card-envelopes from the UK
• £200 Publisher Fee 
• £290 Crowdfundr Fee
• £280 Safety - In case of unexpected expenses
