September Update: Merch is Coming!

Hello, everyone!  Another whirlwind of a month is past, and we are starting a brand new month, and we're coming back bigger, better and WITH MERCH! Yes sir! We appreciate the patience you all have had. And your patience is rewarded. So, today, we're going to do the usual: thank new patrons, link to where you can find our patreon content and talk our schedule.

But we're also going to share the rough sketches that Mallory AKA Sanrixian has done for merchandise! And we'll explain next steps thereafter!

So, shall we dance?

ART! ART! ART!

You've all been very patient both for this post and in the long-term. So, let's get this party started, and then I'll do some 'splainin'!

As stated above, these are the rough skethces that Sanrixian has done for us, and we couldn't be more pleased! Thank you to Mallory for all the hard work!

Let me talk a little about the background of things: A year ago we had a great idea to start doing merchandise for our patrons, and we reached out to Mallory to see if she would be interested in helping out. She was indeed interested, and then she got an incredibly busy job as an illustrator. So, the designs were put on a hold for a while. But she came through, ad we couldn't be happier with them!

So, here's what's going to happen. You all are going to have a solid week to admire these designs, and then in one week's time, we'll have a vote to determine the winning design for all Sworn Sword and above patrons for one week. Once the winning design is picked, we'll announce further details. Suffice to say, if you're a Poor Fellow or Sparrow patron, or even if you're not a patron at all, you can still get all the merch you want, but we're still doing some more research (with assistance from subject-matter expert Sanrixian to help guide us)!

So, thank you again for your patience, and merch is coming!

CONCLUSION

We hope you all have had a great August, and we look forward to sharing September with you. As always, let us know how we're doing by messaging us here or e mailing us at notacastasoiaf@gmail.com.

Thank you for all your support.

Much love,

Emmett and Jeff
