TAKE OFF Physical Book - Suggestion/Feedback Pool
Added 2023-04-01 10:14:23 +0000 UTCHi everyone! So I've been working on Take Off Volume 1, the physical copy of Take Off Season 1, converting the scroll-form comic into a page-form book!! I wanted to gauge everyone's interest and see if anyone's got suggestions/feedback!
1. Inclusion of Extra Comics
I'm unsure whether or not to include extra comics in it such as the kids AU, Andrew in Wonderland and etc. Season 1 was intended as the whole comic so it's complete on its own and I'm not sure if including other things would feel disruptive or irrelevant? Also to note: Season 1's book will be completely SFW due to the nature of its content and will not include NSFW extras!!!
2. Special Editions + Merch
The standard copy is expected to be A5 size paperback. I am wondering if there is interest for a hardcopy version? Beyond that, I would love to make bundle editions where merch is included. But the alternative is to sell everything separately where you can have the option to choose and shop!
Please let me know if there is interest in merch besides the book! And if there's any ideas for merch feel free to drop your ideas in the comments below!!
3. Distribution Methods
This relates to the point above! I've been thinking about doing a kickstarter/crowdfunding campaign, in which pledgers would have the option to select the package they want which could range from pdf version of the book, all the way to a very special edition/signed copy with exclusive merch etc. But having no experience in this, I am a little nervous and hesitant...! And honestly, I'm scared of it failing🥹 But it would be a challenge and a personal milestone!
Otherwise, the book will be sold online when I launch my store. It's something I've been working on for a while and I've finally reached an agreement to work with a store fulfilment company based in the U.S., so that's weight off my shoulders on packaging and shipping! If I go the crowdfunding route, they can also help with that!
Please let me know if there is interest in supporting a crowdfunding campaign for the book!
With or without the crowdfunding campaign, the online store will be a thing coming in 2023! And it'll be where books and merch relating to Take Off will be sold, including the NSFW zine that was mailed to Pilot Patrons last year!
===================✈️===================
And that is all for now!! Thank you all for the support you've given this series and I hope I can deliver. Thank you❤️
x, Jui

2023-07-05 02:52:02 +0000 UTCHardcover books for the main comic and maybe soft-cover compilation of the NSFW stories? I'd love to have those to keep
Nour Bahri
2023-06-26 20:41:49 +0000 UTCYesss absolutely
2023-06-16 04:51:55 +0000 UTCI would absolutely purchase a hardcover copy if you wanted to do that.
Colleen
2023-06-16 00:30:04 +0000 UTCUhm! Please make this a physical book!!!! I love this so much and my Lil heart would be so happy to add this to my library 💗
Audra M
2023-05-29 17:21:35 +0000 UTCIt would be awesome if you sold the NSFW comics from each month in a Season 1 / Season 2 bonus books option. For people who just want to buy the bonus smut <3
Cheshka
2023-05-27 22:54:52 +0000 UTCwould love SFW poster options:”)
lou
2023-04-28 15:01:39 +0000 UTCPaperback for each SFW series as it comes out, then once the story is complete - a collated hardback of every series, with the options for SFW and NSFW. I’d prefer uninterrupted panels and the mini stories at the back of the book. Also send to UK please :)
V
2023-04-23 08:36:20 +0000 UTCKickstarter is a fantastic route to go; however, depending on shipping an online store works well.
Kelly
2023-04-16 00:00:22 +0000 UTCI would love to be able to support you in a kickstarter campaign and I think it's a great way for you to offer us different packages with merch :) I really wish I could cuddle a Nathan plush lol!
Jonailit
2023-04-15 11:43:15 +0000 UTCI would absolutely buy physical editions! I'm more of a hard cover person but would buy soft cover as well!
autumn conner
2023-04-15 01:11:52 +0000 UTCYes!!!
Rachael Hornbostel
2023-04-12 15:59:32 +0000 UTCIf it's only the standard sfw I will probably pass on it until (hopefully) we can get the full nsfw version. 😭😭😭
RJB578
2023-04-10 15:56:39 +0000 UTCI definitely agree with this! I love the idea of keychains too!
Secret
2023-04-09 23:08:44 +0000 UTCLove the idea of a hardcover, with a softcover mini book with all the fun extra stories. Would they only be available through the campaign or will you have an online store?
Myrydyan
2023-04-08 16:33:25 +0000 UTCi’d love to have the merch!! and also a special copy of the book, and always love to crowdfund for something like this!!! 🫶🏽
Nilah Castañeda
2023-04-07 19:00:31 +0000 UTCYess, I would love a hardcover and some merch would be great! Maybe a pillow/pillows with banana Nathan and peach Andrew?
sour_drinkk
2023-04-07 08:24:58 +0000 UTCYesss extras would be amazing !!! Also I would LOVE A HARDCOVER ! I would also love merch bundles (:
Ivania Morales
2023-04-07 05:40:23 +0000 UTCYass!!! I'd love to buy it if it's possible to ship to europe🥰 for merch, probably some SFW keychains/stickers/pins or NSFW postcards/poster/prints? just something small so it's not too expensive to ship🫶🏼
Josi
2023-04-07 00:58:33 +0000 UTC1. I think the AU stuff is really cute/nice, and they never felt disruptive. They simply felt like a chance of pace from the typical stories. It also gave us some background to who the characters were as children, which is a cool insight. If you personally feel that they are disruptive I'd say to include them as extras in the back of the book. 2. I would ABSOLUTELY be interested in a physical copy. 3. I think Kickstarter would be a solid way to get backing, so people can have more options and it will give you more time to get the money you need. You'd also then have access to all of the books after funding, so extras could be sold on your site from the first batch.
Prince Aziz Hunt
2023-04-06 21:25:03 +0000 UTCIf season 1 is SFW I think I would be cute to have the extras too! Reminds me of the manga I used to read growing up ☺️
Nat G
2023-04-06 05:27:38 +0000 UTCOMG so I just had this id ea, how about some Dakimura pillows? Or maybe something like a mug cover in the style of Dakimura pillows? (Idk how to call the stuff that covers a coffee mug/tumbler, but in spanish is a “funda para termo”)
Sophi
2023-04-05 22:46:12 +0000 UTCI think that the crowfunding/Kickstarter is a good idea! I would a 100% join that! 🖤
Sophi
2023-04-05 22:39:00 +0000 UTCOn the note of far away living fans, I also would love another kind of merch, but it's important that that merch is not fragile. Maybe some acrilyc stuff?
Sophi
2023-04-05 22:37:29 +0000 UTCMaybe the Standard version could be just the main story comic, and the Hardcover version have some extras? Idk, I think that you should do a Hardcover version in any case scenario, it would be sooo good for people (like me) that live far away from you and from the UStates, 'cause sometimes regular books are not shipped with enough care :c
Sophi
2023-04-05 22:35:20 +0000 UTCYasss yasss yasss!!! Love it, hardcover version would be amazing! I’ll take anything you put out! Also would it be possible to get a new link for all of season 1 chapters pretty please 🥺 I didn’t discover this comic and become a patron till it was already expired and the first couple of chapters aren’t available here. Thanks!
J.B.
2023-04-05 15:38:03 +0000 UTCI would love a hardcover of the book! I think something like a coffee/tea mug would be awesome merchandise. I have the city scene postcard and some of the art framed in my office but I do drink a lot of coffee and tea. lol It would be really neat to have a mug with either the Take Off logo or something cute or beautiful on it of Andrew and Nathan.
SewingKitt
2023-04-04 15:08:51 +0000 UTCYesssss physical book!!! Please 🥹
JessAWwwww
2023-04-04 12:41:53 +0000 UTCi will buy anything (everything) you make! would love a book!

Dj jRoc
2023-04-03 22:36:20 +0000 UTCI'd love to have physical copies of take off as alot of the juicy stuff is blocked out so I'd support your physical copies so I could get the whole story plus I love your art style and take off has been great so far
Maureen McDowall
2023-04-03 18:58:47 +0000 UTCSi, Oui, yes!!!
Tania
2023-04-03 16:43:52 +0000 UTCI’d love a book with the extras at the end as bonus chapters. Since new captain patreons can’t access archived NSFW comics, will there be an option to buy them?
Fiorelily
2023-04-03 15:42:17 +0000 UTCI'll take it anyway I can get it! ❤️
T. Monae
2023-04-03 13:07:44 +0000 UTCOne way you could include the extra comics would be to put them at the end as an extra bonus section, that way it wouldn't interrupt the story but people can still enjoy it.
MarieW88
2023-04-03 11:54:14 +0000 UTCI want a copy!!!!
Shany
2023-04-03 08:52:58 +0000 UTCWhta a question 😍😍😍i need it.... All of it ❤️❤️

2023-04-02 05:26:28 +0000 UTCThank you and I'm so glad to have made the zine and have that experience going into this!!❤️
jui
2023-04-02 03:25:55 +0000 UTCBOOK SLEEVES!!! Almost forgot I could still do book sleeves for paperback!! Thank you🙏
jui
2023-04-02 03:22:04 +0000 UTCa passport book!!!!! Love the idea!!!
jui
2023-04-02 03:14:01 +0000 UTCI just wanted to clarify that this is currently plans for solely Season 1's book, which has one panel of NSFW in ch.35!! It'll be all that is taken off from the series and if I continue to make a Season 2 book, everything is uncensored✨ Hope that makes sense!!
jui
2023-04-02 03:04:57 +0000 UTCSeason one doesn't really have any nsfw so the book will be just that!! I'm far from making a book for Season 2 but when I do it'll def be uncensored with all the spicy action✨ NSFW extra comics are collated into a separate zine of its own!!
jui
2023-04-02 02:54:40 +0000 UTCAre you me😭😭 That's part of it too I love getting a bunch of goodies packaged beautifully and there's always that nice element of surprise!
jui
2023-04-02 02:52:20 +0000 UTCDefinitely thinking of a NSFW zine collection!! There's still some way to go but a second zine is definitely in the making and would love to have them as bundles in the future!!
jui
2023-04-02 02:49:59 +0000 UTC❤️
jui
2023-04-02 02:48:51 +0000 UTCAaaaah the idea of making them as plushies just melts my heart🥹❤️ truly coming to life!!!!!
jui
2023-04-02 02:48:38 +0000 UTCI completely understand!! Shipping is crazy and I really appreciate support in any kind❤️🙏
jui
2023-04-02 02:46:49 +0000 UTCOmg thank you for informing me on this...!! This definitely changse things around and I would hate for people to miss out on it because of payment method limitations!! Pre-orders is def an option too, thanks for the suggestion🙏❤️
jui
2023-04-02 02:46:16 +0000 UTCExtras in the back would work wonderfully for including everything without disrupting the storytelling! I'd be happy to get any merch that you come up with! And I think giving options ranging in price would be ideal for a lot of people! I look forward to supporting your new endeavors.
Percival Kranz
2023-04-02 02:34:35 +0000 UTCI’m so excited for this! I will support you either way. I’m so happy for you. ☺️
Bianca Enriquez
2023-04-02 00:11:10 +0000 UTCLove this very exciting. I would be honored to actually own a physical copy but either way I’m rooting for ya💗
Miss Rae, if ya nasty
2023-04-01 22:42:36 +0000 UTCthis is so exciting!! would love to have this on my bookcase. personally would definitely enjoy a hard copy but whatever is feasible for you then go for it. we will support you!!
MortalityMyAss
2023-04-01 22:28:46 +0000 UTCThis is so exciting! Love seeing artists’ evolution! If the option to sell things separately is too much, you could always sell them in different bundle sizes! Also, please add the cute comics too, the babs are too precious!
Battina
2023-04-01 21:41:40 +0000 UTCHappy to see you and the boys flourishing. Personally, I'm mostly interested in books and would love to see both a Season 1 SFW book and a season 2 book with the extras and NSFW stuff.
TAC
2023-04-01 21:05:39 +0000 UTCI am delighted that you are planning to set up a shop or a crowdfunding event! I am rooting for you and your bois! You answered my question in your reply to another person’s question about the book! I would be happy to buy first season book with no NSFW stuff then next season book with uncensored work. Maybe you can add that dream from the first season in the bonus section in the second season book? I am hoping for book marks and posters on Andrew! Maybe tastefully bordering on NSFW for posters? I would hang them in my apartment! Great advertisement for your bois and your work, I would think! The shipping cost is another concern for many people. Last week I sent a paperbook barely 500g to my uncle in my native country and it costs $28.75! This is the trend which is becoming more common now. Paperback is a better choice but it depends on weight and size. Something to consider about? 🤔 I shall support you, Jui, and your bois in any way I can all the way! 😁🙏💚🙏💚🙇♂️🙇♂️
Robert
2023-04-01 20:46:41 +0000 UTCThank you for answering my question on your physical book not including the NSFW part! It does make a lot of sense now! I am 100% rooting for you and your goodies! 💚🙏💚🙏
Robert
2023-04-01 20:30:11 +0000 UTCI'm okay with anything, I'm so happy so see how much you flourished. When I received the Zine last year in the mail I absolutely fell in love with it. So I wouldn't mind buying merch from you.
Reina J. Ruiz
2023-04-01 19:12:05 +0000 UTCI’m on board with stealth keychain merch of Bumho or Banathan. Looks like a cute keychain from TastyPeach, is actually lewd.
Anna
2023-04-01 18:45:09 +0000 UTCBumho and Banathan washi tape!
Anna
2023-04-01 18:41:21 +0000 UTCSo proud! I hope you are proud of yourself 🥰🥰 I’d buy all the merch! Plushies, shirts, keychains, stickers (nsfw and sfw) you go get it
chimosagimmemoreyah
2023-04-01 18:38:26 +0000 UTCHey I’m so glad for you to expand your work like this !! ❤️ I’d love to buy a hardcover but I would definitely buy the paperback if it is the only available option. I’m not a big fan of merch but SFW pillows and tee-shirts and NSFW plushies Bumho/Banathan would be cute ! I think you have to really think through shippings options because you did such a hard job all alone to ship worldwide and it would be a shame if merchandising’ shipping is limited to a few countries or very expensive for countries of than the US. I loved receiving your personalized and handwritten postcards so I hope you’ll continue to propose this. Love, ❤️
aeri
2023-04-01 17:58:13 +0000 UTCI'll buy literally everything but I'd love a hardback and merch and all that sm! And I agree with putting the extras in the back :)
Sami
2023-04-01 17:58:10 +0000 UTCi think if you wanted to include the extras in the volume you could put them all at the end that way they don’t interrupt the flow!
Jacquie Mei
2023-04-01 17:26:11 +0000 UTCI’m so excited! I personally would prefer the paperback. I think the extras would be good as maybe a mini volume? Because I would love to have all the story! Would definitely support the crowdfunding if you decided to go that route and yes 100% to merch! Some ideas being stickers, keychains, art prints of the boys and someone said bookmarks that would be cool!
Jo
2023-04-01 17:05:26 +0000 UTCMERCH!! SEPARATE MERCH!!! I’LL BUY IT ALL
Ari
2023-04-01 16:52:08 +0000 UTCFor the extra comics, you can always do all them as a separate mini book, like the first season would be volume one and the extras can be 1.5. Hardcover is good if there are a lot of pages, but sometimes It can be a bit uncomfortable to read, maybe the soft cover could have like a sleeve/cover to protect the book, kinda like usually mangas have. About merch, cute stickers, bookmarks, prints or enamel prints are good options. I think doing a kickstarter can help you to advertise the book more? And people can upgrade if they want to before the deadline, giving more chances for people to wait until they get paid, etc.
Victoria Carozzi
2023-04-01 16:41:26 +0000 UTCOmg that's a great idea! Bumho would make an adorable plush🥺😍
PeppermintBuns
2023-04-01 16:40:22 +0000 UTCI'm so excited! Most of my physical copies are the paperback versions and I agree with some other comments that you could include the extras as bonus content after the main story. I love fun extras like pins, stickers for my water bottles, keychains, etc. I like having a combo deal option!
Crazy9
2023-04-01 16:36:06 +0000 UTCI think any design you do for a sticker would translate well for an enamel pin! I’d be more likely to purchase a paperback copy of season 1, but I know people who collect hard cover when they can get it. As for deciding to include extras or not, I’m always happy to have more of the boys! And I’d absolutely be happy to join the crowdfunding!
TeenyMartini
2023-04-01 16:24:13 +0000 UTCI would buy everything. I don't know if its helpful, but redbubble may be helpful with some merch. Just need designs. But I will back, support but whatever I can of this series. Or some at first snd the rest later *insert take my money meme* lol.
Victoria O.
2023-04-01 16:16:36 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy. Merch ideas ,acrylic keychains,pins, T shirts and small posters.
Cassandra
2023-04-01 16:12:09 +0000 UTCSo excited for a physical copy and website!! Would absolutely support your kickstarter. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this for merch but decals are a great idea. Would love to have Andrew and Nathan on my car 🥰
Jammie Brown
2023-04-01 15:46:45 +0000 UTCI would love to buy a hard copy!
ghostkitten
2023-04-01 15:43:12 +0000 UTCI love the idea of a paperback edition to buy! Would totally support it in a crowd funding too. For merch my idea would be stickers, there could be some cool motives of the boys in sticker form
Jojo
2023-04-01 15:36:33 +0000 UTCOh and for books I prefer paperbacks, as most of my other manhwa and mang.
Maridae
2023-04-01 15:01:58 +0000 UTCI’d love love love an actual book (signed too!!!) and I’d buy ALL the merch too:) The extra chapters I’d include at the end of the volume, or skip for the purposes of the flow. So exciting!!!
Maridae
2023-04-01 15:00:23 +0000 UTCI am 100% not helpful because I want ALL the things. Hardcover would be really cool, and I LOVE merch - acrylic stands, art, keychains, stickers. I think it would be nice to include the AU art too!
Erica Carboy
2023-04-01 14:40:57 +0000 UTCTurning your comic into a book is such exciting news! I would definitely be interested in a special hardcover version of the book! But I think either a paperback or hard cover version of the book would do well, so many people live Andrew and Nathan ❤️ I love stickers and pins as merch. Some other ideas could be keychains or acrylic stands. Not sure how in demand those would be but I love being able to display little things from the media I love on my desk and shelves.
chelsea
2023-04-01 14:34:20 +0000 UTCNo matter what route you take I'll definitely buy a copy. I love both hard copy and paperback. Also love merch. I've been getting into buying acrylic stands. So that would be cool to see as well.
Kat V
2023-04-01 14:26:23 +0000 UTCI would love a soft cover copy. As for merch, I mainly go for apparel (hats/tshirts), but I also like keychains. I think a really neat idea would be a Take Off passport book. I’d support the kickstarter
Al
2023-04-01 14:22:33 +0000 UTCPlushies!!! Genius. Especially of Bumho 🤩🤩
Myke
2023-04-01 14:18:32 +0000 UTCCongrats Jui!! Definitely want the book and I’m a slut for hardcovers. I like the bundles option and the option to order things separately. As far as merch goes, I’d love to see pins, keychains, stickers (SFW and NSFW), bookmarks, pencil cases, tote bags, or hats (baseball caps or bucket hats). I’m excited for this next step for you and I’m honored to be a part of it. Sending love 💛💛
Myke
2023-04-01 14:16:03 +0000 UTCCongrats on taking the next step with the comic! I definitely think you should sell stuff like pins, wrist lanyards, hoodies, posters, keychains and charms. Anything you release I will totally buy and support! Love your work so much!
SadPotatoCat
2023-04-01 13:57:50 +0000 UTCCongrats Jui!!!! That’s such exciting news maybe eventually we’ll even see Take Off in bookstores! 💕 I think a paperback is a good idea and then as more seasons come out maybe you could do a bundle with them all in one book and have that be the hardback with a special design on the front? You could even do something similar with the NSFW content like you have separate copies for each season but then an option to have it all in one book. Merch would be awesome!!! T-shirts, stickers, keychains, postcards, bookmarks, patches, etc would be awesome to have and you could experiment with the different designs.
CaptCrunch
2023-04-01 13:45:58 +0000 UTCI'll be in with a crowdfounding. Hardcover copy is not my thing, but if it would be the only version, I would totally buy it. Extra chapters: I understand your thing. Maybe adding something like some pic from the future? Some illustration? Some "at that time I would never thought..."? Maybe an exclusive postcard? But, also without extras content would be fine.
Susanna
2023-04-01 13:37:54 +0000 UTCI would love a physical copy, hard or paperback. Also I’m not big on merch but I’d love a keychain, especially the little peach bum lol
Tatertot
2023-04-01 13:31:46 +0000 UTCI usually buy paperbacks because of the price, but I honestly have to admit that I am not quite as likely to purchase without the NSFW stuff included (so I am really glad you mentioned that beforehand). But I would definitely add the bonus stories to the back, especially since the entire comic is still available online for free. And I do like bonuses and bundles on kickstarter, as long as they don't raise the total price more than maybe ~50%? Otherwise, I would rather pick and choose loose merchandise from a shop. But that is just me and my poor wallet...
Pelto
2023-04-01 13:19:56 +0000 UTCYes to the physical copy! You could do like a mini book of NSFW of the mini comics.
Morgan
2023-04-01 13:14:31 +0000 UTCThat's so exciting Jui! YES MERCH PLEASE. I was just thinking how I'd love some physical merch from Take Off. A book is the ultimate must-have, but I think stickers, pins, keychains, plushies could be ideas for merch too! I think all the art, including non canon and NSFW, are all important, it's all a part of your work! I'm really excited for the book, I'm snatching it up the second it drops :)
PeppermintBuns
2023-04-01 12:57:38 +0000 UTCKeychains/charms and prints are always good choices for merch (prints and stickers allow for a “flat merch” option that is usually pretty popular). Also what about including the extra comics (saw or nsfw) in a pdf add on or as a stretch goal if you go the kickstarter route.
Schala
2023-04-01 12:48:05 +0000 UTCFor merch: I think stickers, keychains, and Andrew and Nathan little plushies would be so nice!!!!
Lala
2023-04-01 12:38:07 +0000 UTCA hard copy would be lovely, but I would like a hard copy complete with all pages including NSFW and little extra stories at the end. Would pay extra for that!
Alexandra Torres
2023-04-01 12:19:33 +0000 UTCI'm in. And would support a kickstarter as much as I could
That Girl KJ
2023-04-01 12:15:27 +0000 UTCOmg im so excited to see a Take Off physical copy I will treasure it for life 😳😳😳
Melanie Chan
2023-04-01 11:49:11 +0000 UTCGreat! I would love to see some merch packages. As much as I like to pick out my own stuff I really like it when I just get a bundle of goodies ☺️
dday519
2023-04-01 11:46:05 +0000 UTCId buy a soft cover/paperback with a side comic or two at the end!

2023-04-01 11:45:45 +0000 UTCI would love a book copy!

2023-04-01 11:29:14 +0000 UTCI prefer hardbacks, but wouldn’t say no to a paperback. As mentioned before, putting extras in the back would probably work and keep from distracting readers from the main story. As far as merch, I like pins, lanyards, and key chain charms. NSFW zine collections are a great idea. I don’t know that I would buy Bumho and Banathan plushies, but I bet they would be popular.

2023-04-01 11:18:52 +0000 UTCDefinitely interested and excited!! I'm good with whatever. So happy for you 💛

2023-04-01 11:13:51 +0000 UTCSounds amazing! I would buy it separately or in a bundle, both sound good😍 I don't know if that would be possible but apart from Keychains, stickers, etc. (Which would be awesome) I think little plushies or something similar of Bumho and Banathan would be so cute 🥺

2023-04-01 11:09:34 +0000 UTCHonestly as an Australian shipping usually means that even if I want to support a physical copy I cannot. 95% of the time shipping is charged at as much as or more expensive than the object I am buying or pledging for, so I'm afraid I'm unlikely to buy physical copies >w< I will continue to support the patreon for as long as I can though <3

2023-04-01 11:08:16 +0000 UTCI would love to have a hardcover and bundle version! But alternatives like Standard editions are also nice! And maybe a dumb Idea but limited signed versions? XD (would be complicated for you especially when there are many to sign) As ShadowGay57 already said, It would be better for the flow if the side comics be included and at the end! As much as I love Kickstarter/crowdfunding (would support immediately) Kickstarter for example only allows credit card and I know many people (like me pwp) in Europe don't have one (They are not really a big thing here). Paypal have a credit card function but either for US people or business accounts. So I would prefer them to be sold in your shop but maybe as Pre-Orders? (btw I would be a sucker for your shop website tho xD) Otherwise maybe a Paypal.me or similar to that for Europe peeps would be great if you choose for kickstarter (idk if other crowdfunding sites offers Paypal/besides credit cards as payment options) Regarding merch I would immediately buy Pins, Buttons, Prints, Stickers, Washi Tapes :o I can also see acrylic Standees and Apparels like Shirts, Caps/Hats, Jackets and maybe Socks? with Take Off tho! However as long as I can use Paypal TAKE MY MONEY <3

2023-04-01 11:07:10 +0000 UTCTake my money, all of it. Hardback, merch, I want it all 😍😍😍 And crowfunding can be nice so you have the fund to start things!

2023-04-01 11:06:22 +0000 UTCThat's completely understandable!! You're already doing a ton to support creators by being here, thank you!❤️

2023-04-01 11:00:02 +0000 UTCUuuh Bundles that include merch sounds great🤩🤩

2023-04-01 10:59:15 +0000 UTChell yeah! definitely want to buy the physical copies
Awkward_Isa
2023-04-01 10:56:19 +0000 UTCI'm super interested in buying a physical copy, but to be honest, it'll depend a lot on the price, since the dollar is worth like 5 times my coin 😪😪 That's very annoying, cause it often limits how much I can help authors I really wanna support. But initially I'm really interested!
Mari
2023-04-01 10:55:10 +0000 UTCAh ok that makes a lot of sense on the rating side. Oh I hope it does well where it could possibly be the whole series in physical form. 😢😭😭😭 I really love Take Off and your work so much I would want to purchase the full series whenever it’s available. ❤️❤️❤️

2023-04-01 10:47:59 +0000 UTCHey! Yes, I definitely will buy the physical copies 😊 and I really hope that the season 2 will have ALLLLLL the NSFW content 😈😋❤️
WildWitch
2023-04-01 10:46:39 +0000 UTCI would LOVE the plushies 🥹
aliencybermeat
2023-04-01 10:44:09 +0000 UTCThank you for the support❤️ In regards to the sfw/nsfw side of things, S1 actually only has one NSFW panel where Nathan imagines Andrew giving a bj so that's all I'll be scrapping, since I don't want to keep one panel and have the book be rated-R! And for S2's book, where there's a significant amount of smut, it'll be uncensored and the book will be rated-R!! Currently there's only plans to release S1's book, I hope that makes sense!!
jui
2023-04-01 10:42:24 +0000 UTCMaybe you can have a few samples and have a poll for people to choose their favourites?

2023-04-01 10:37:42 +0000 UTCHonestly yea, I'd buy a Bumho plushie lol 😆

2023-04-01 10:37:05 +0000 UTCFirst of all congratulations Jui, on wanting to go for physical book and thank you so much for this!!! 🎊🎊🎊🎊 I’m a little bummed out it’s not gonna be it’s original nsfw version though. Despite that I would still to purchase whatever physical books you wish to release. Merch outside of books I would want all the extras as a separate book would be nice. Stickers and keychains unique to “Take Off,” would be super cool. In regards to crowdfunding/website, I’m ok with whichever it’s honestly your call on what you feel comfortable with doing. Just know you have people to buy your stuff. 😤😤🥳🥳🥳

2023-04-01 10:35:45 +0000 UTCSpecifically like those little hand lanyards. The ones that are shorter and you wear around your wrist. I use those for work all the time and love them but it's hard to find ones with nice designs so a takeoff one would be amazing ❤️
Snek
2023-04-01 10:35:27 +0000 UTCOOOH!! Yeah that's the thing- I wouldn't know what picture to use for apparel so I really appreciate this!! Thank you❤️
jui
2023-04-01 10:34:37 +0000 UTCOooh lanyards is something I have yet to look into!! Thank you for the suggestion!!💖
jui
2023-04-01 10:33:08 +0000 UTCThank you❤️❤️❤️
jui
2023-04-01 10:32:38 +0000 UTCWill do!! There are creators I know who have done kickstarters so I'll definitely do all the research I can!!
jui
2023-04-01 10:31:54 +0000 UTCI really adore the picture of the two of them on the train I was imagining it as a t-shirt as soon as I saw it. But really anything you do I'll buy if I can :)
Elanor Adler
2023-04-01 10:31:41 +0000 UTCI've actually been thinking about making New Dork University apparel!!🥹 If I do get into apparel they'll definitely be as child friendly and public-ok as possible!!! XD And for plushie if anybody's interested in Bumho or Banathan plushes...🥹
jui
2023-04-01 10:29:33 +0000 UTCI agree that it may mess with flow having the side comics, but it would be cool to have them at the very end, after all of the regular chapters. Crowdfunding sounds like a really good idea.
ShadowGay57
2023-04-01 10:28:50 +0000 UTCI second that, reader from Switzerland here and would love international shipping. At least for the standard issue. Maybe ask another creator about tips for a Kickstarter? I just recently backed a successful one for a Third Volume of a Webcomic.

2023-04-01 10:28:48 +0000 UTCThank you😭❤️
jui
2023-04-01 10:27:47 +0000 UTCI will honestly get anything and everything you bring out and would love to support a kickstarter campaign!! I’m so happy and so excited we’re getting a Take Off physical book!!! 🙏🏼✨❤️
aliencybermeat
2023-04-01 10:26:41 +0000 UTCThe store fulfilment company I'm working with they ship worldwide!! And thank you❤️ This means a lot to me and I'm so ready for the physical copy to reach ppl's hands!!!
jui
2023-04-01 10:26:05 +0000 UTCIt might be a good idea to have the normal edition just be the main story and maybe have the special editions include the little side comics if possible. I would totally buy a special edition plus merch bundle tho. I also can't wait for the store to drop. Will we get any hints to what kinda merch? I feel like stickers, pins, and maybe lanyards would be cool.

Elanor Adler
2023-04-01 10:24:12 +0000 UTCIn regards to merchandising I'm really bad for these things but posters/cards are easy to ship and store and I'd honestly wear a Take off t-shirt as long as it's child friendly as I'm a mom and preschool teacher 😂 I see some artists also go the plushie route, it seems to be quite popular.
Elanor Adler
2023-04-01 10:24:01 +0000 UTCI will literally take anything you put out
Dumplingslag
2023-04-01 10:23:44 +0000 UTCOMG I've been waiting for you to say we'll have physical books of this masterpiece since I discovered Take Off on Webtoon, I'm just so happy right now 😭 I think it's a brilliant idea to have the regular paperback books and then special editions with other stuff. I'll honesty get whatever I can afford without making my children go hungry 😂😂😂
Elanor Adler
2023-04-01 10:22:26 +0000 UTCSuper general question: are you planing just going to start of small and ship exclusively to the US? Would love a copy down here in Aus and am more then happy to wait🥰. Just wanted ask the question, not sure if it’s too earlier to ask that kinda question. So proud of you for getting to this stage in publication!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 super happy for you.
