What's Next? 🎉
Let's talk timeline!! This is a break down (with a bit of rambling), so you can see where I'm at and what I'm planning for at each stage! This is not a full list, just the bones:
🍎September 🍁
Finishing touches! Finalize interior (wow, um. 50 bonuses unlocked. I need to final draft all of that.), finalize cover redesign (since it is thicker I need to redo the spines), redesign Master Edition covers (since we unlocked the faux leather, we can only foil stamp now, so I need to translate the design into that, and set up where the embossing/stamping will be, and all of that)
💀 October 🎃
Order the Books! I'll order both standard and Master Editions now, along with shipping supplies, design the Master Edition kickstarter official fancy certificates and order those, and of course... I have almost 1000 leather bookmarks to make. 😐
🥧 November 🦃
I get the books sometime this month! Champion Editions will be sent to the leather worker and their chests/gifts will be made and finalized, I'll begin signing all the Master Editions, and finishing all the little, many many, logistical things.
📚 December ❄️
You get the books! I'll be shipping as soon as I can (while also making sure that everything is up to my standards. I'm not really one to rush if something isn't perfect), and I'm still intending for you all to get your books the first half of December, before the second half holidays. 🎉

If for some reason this timeline does not work out, you will be the first to know. I'm... still just one person and there is a lot more of you than I ever hoped for, but I'm doing my best and coming at it every day. This is my full time job for the next few months, and it is an honor to be doing this for all of you. ♥️

👩🎤 I am going to Nan Desu Kan this weekend!!! 🎮
Just a heads up that I will be less available on Discord and Kickstarter starting Thursday but I will return and catch up on Monday! Nan Desu Kan is a wonderful anime/video game convention held in Denver Colorado, and I've been going since I was ~15 years old! :D If you ever have the chance, it's a very wholesome and friendly convention, plenty of places to just relax and play some board games with friends (new and old!)
If you are coming to NDK, the code phrase is "It's Dangerous to Cook Alone." I will be dressed as Link (what a surprise!), with a happy Zelda cosplay group, and I would love to meet any of you who want to meet!! ♥️ I will also have a proof copy of the Standard Edition of the cookbook (which is much thinner than what all of you will be getting now!) if you want to check it out!
I hope each of you is doing well! I think of you all so often; all over the world, playing Zelda, cooking good food. I hope you are healthy or getting there, happy or getting there, productive or getting there. ♥️ You can do it!!!
