Drop-night record kit
Prepare the empty rows, the proof folder, and the caption card so a late-night collect does not vanish into a camera roll.
Drop nights are loud. Friends send crops of covers, the clock matters, and the confirmation screen lasts a second. A drop-night record kit is the boring object you fill in before the animation starts.
Together we write the titles you actually plan to chase, leave blank edition fields, and park an empty proof folder with tonight’s date. After you collect, you drop the confirmation capture in that folder before you reread the first page. The local tracking utility, if you use one, gets the same row the next morning — not at 1 a.m. with shaky thumbs.
This kit does not predict sell-outs, invent scarcity, or rank gems. It is a filing habit. If you miss a drop, the empty row stays empty and the rest of the ledger remains honest.
When you want the comic itself, you still open Veve. The kit only catches the paper trail that drop energy likes to scatter.
