Alternative Paper Options for Fountain Pen Lovers
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 12, 2020 at 02:25:17 PM

Hi all,

Thank you again for helping unlock those stretch goals!!

BUT...now that they are unlocked, all you fountain pen writers need some more fountain pen friendly paper options for the notebook. 

So, you will be able to customize the sizing of your cover to fit either at Rhodia A5 Webnotebook or a Leuchtturm 1917  A5 hardcover notebook in the post-project BackerKit survey for an additional $3 fee.

No need to do anything special in your Kickstarter pledge. We'll take care of all the customization in BackerKit.

Thanks!

Thank you all so much for a fantastic first day! We're so excited you guys are digging the story for this project. :)

FAQs

We've had a couple of good questions in the comments and in messages that we just wanted to answer in an update real quick in case you missed them.

Q: If the stretch goals are unlocked will there be a separate reward to include the fountain pen option? Will it be more expensive?

A: No, there will not be a new reward. If we hit 100 backers (only 27 more to go!!), you will have your choice of two of the three writing styles for your set - ballpoint, pencil, or fountain pen. You can choose two of the same, ballpoint & pencil, pencil & fountain pen, or ballpoint & fountain pen. Any combination of pen styles is the same price. You will also have the option to add a third pen to your reward in the post project survey through BackerKit if you happened to want one of each.

Q: How is this A5 cover different than the other A5 covers Allegory makes.

A: The main difference with this design is that we sized it to fit the Moleskine A5 notebook which is a bit slimmer than the Rhodia A5 notebook which our other A5 covers fit. We wanted to give folks an option for that style of notebook. The larger, snap secured closure is also different, giving you more storage space for pens or if the stretch goal is unlocked other items in the zipper pouch.

Stretch Goals

We would love to have these stretch goals unlocked for this project so please share the project with folks you think would be interested in the story and some new writing gear. But we are also open to additional ideas for stretch goals. You guys gave us some great ones during the last Kickstarter project for the Wanderer Series. If you have some thoughts, send 'em our way!

Cheers!

Funded in 48 Minutes!!

Wow guys! It never ceases to amaze us what great supporters you all are. We're excited to work on this project for you all. Thank you for helping us fund it in just 48 minutes!

The message behind this one is especially powerful for us. Starting Allegory was our little personal revolution eight years ago. For folks who are interested, we're gonna write about that a bit more in an update at some point during the project. 

But for now, we'd love to hear what little (or not so little!) personal revolutions your are all leading! Hop over to the main comments page to tell us your story. :)

Cheers!
