Hi, everyone! Please excuse me for the very delayed post-campaign update. I got it in my head that who the heck cares about updates for Finish Your Cosplay!... imposter syndrome strikes at strange times 💚

Currently, I'm aiming for Finish Your Cosplay! to be sent to you by May 1, 2025. Of course, this is a goal based off of estimated timelines. Anything could happen, but this is my plan 🎊 For more details, read on!

⭐ November 2024: Finish Your Cosplay! is currently on a break as I wait for the contributors to write their essays. These are due November 30.
⭐ December 2024: In December, I'll be editing the guest essays and doing a final refinement pass on the main manuscript.
⭐ January 2025: In January, Finish Your Cosplay! will spend time with an editor and sensitivity reader! (And I once again get a break from it 👀)
⭐ February 2025: February is layout time! I'm designing FYC! myself. Yes, it will be a lot of work. But it's my baby 🤷‍♀️
⭐ March 2025: Hopefully, FYC! will get sent to the printer right after the Lunar New Year wraps up. Woo!

Thank you all so much for your support of me and of Finish Your Cosplay!. I am so so so so sososososo excited to make it useful and beautiful and then to get it into your hands!

Love, 

Annye / Maker Fishmeal

We have had an absolutely stupendous first two days and are now only ⭐ $59 ⭐ away from funding! I am so proud, honored, and... a little scared to have you all relying on me!

If you haven't backed yet, now's the time! We do have an early-bird incentive... A STICKER! Back before 1PM eastern on September 7 and a free cosplay sticker will be included in your physical order 💚

⭐ FREE STICKER. ⭐

It won't be one of these, but it will be as cute (and also created by my wonderful bestie @coffeelocks):


AHH THANK YOU!
