When do I provide my shipping address?
After the Kickstarter campaign ends, we’ll send you a short rewards survey via email. In this survey, you can provide your shipping address, manage your order items, and provide payment details for any remaining balance, including shipping. We will send you reminders the moment surveys have been sent out to your emails.

I've never done Kickstarters before. Can I trust you to guide me and deliver?
YES!! To date, we have successfully completed 12/12 campaigns and published +20 books, handling every step of the production and shipping without any problems.
Kickstarter has awarded us a “BACKER FAVORITE” badge because of our record and reputation.
We make it a point to work with established printers to ensure faster printing and delivery times for our backers. And if there are any unforeseen hiccups along the way, you will be the first to know what they are and how we will be handling them.
We believe in complete transparency. This work means a lot to us. We are here to stay and do our best to make a difference in our industry. We invite you to back our campaign with confidence as we look forward to entertaining you for years to come!
If you have any questions about your order, please contact us at [email protected].

Was AI used for any part of this project? I have ethical issues with it so I want to be 100% sure I am not putting money towards something involving it.
No. AI (Artificial Intelligence) was not used in any part of the creation of ZUFAN or any of our published works. We are proud to champion authentic work by a global team of talented creators that is rooted in real experiences & cultures. If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected] and we’d be happy to answer them!

I previously backed ZUFAN Issue 1 and Issue 2 on Kickstarter. Is there anything new being offered with this campaign?
YES. This new campaign has TWO brand new issues (Issue 3 and 4) included. Instead of releasing individual issues, we went directly to the 140 page graphic novel that combines issues 1,2,3,4 all into one book (along with Behind The Scenes content). The graphic novel is the complete series.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
