We are so close to the release! Omg this is so great. Will it be a pdf or some other format?
We're thrilled that you're excited! Unfortunately, we had to push back the zine release. But yes, it will be a downloadable PDF. Thanks so much for your support! 💚🧡
Hello! You might want to add a still image on your contributors' spotlight. The left side is unreadable :( and the graphics cannot be zoomed in.
Hello! Thank you so much for this information. We made a thread of everyone's spotlights using images. We thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! 💚🧡
I want to support contributors 😢 why was made free? Donation available?
Hey, thank you so much for your support!
We rebooted this zine as free because none of us have access to the original zine's interest check. We do hope to do another iteration of this zine in the future. It will have another interest check and we'll go from there!
Show contributors your support by following them on social media, and giving them some love there! We've given contributors and mods a lovely introduction on our social media and will do the same again when it's time to preview their creations!
Additionally, with the download of the zine, there will be donation information for the mods and contributors that want theirs included. Rest assured, there will definitely be a way to support contributors!
Thanks so much for the love. 💚🧡
How many writers are there? And what’s the minimum word count? Ps. Love the zine
Thanks for the ask! We plan to have nine writers and thirteen artists. Our writers are working with a word count of 2,000 to 4,000.
Thank you for the love and support! 💚🧡
Oh my god I’m so excited! You have so many of my favorite artists joining this zine and thank you for making it free. I know the plan was to be paid but thank you for making a free version it really means a lot to us 💓
Thank you!! Our artists—and writers!—are eager to share their works with everyone. We're thrilled that you're excited about it!
We're glad to make this edition of the zine free for everybody! Should there be interest in the future, we'd love to do a physical edition of this zine, starting from scratch.
We appreciate your support! 💚🧡
I am so exited for this zine!! Ngl I am relieved someone picked it back up for us who were excited about it. Will you do teasers?
Hello! Thanks for your excitement—we're excited, too! Yes, we will absolutely do teasers closer to the zine release. We appreciate your support! 💚🧡
Will your current graphics mod also design the actual zine?
Hello! Thanks for the ask.
No, our graphics mod will not be designing the actual zine. Our head mod, DD, is also our formatting mod. The final zine will be put together by them. That said, the actual zine will utilize elements from both the art and graphics mod in order to provide a cohesive and clean look.
Hope this helps!
not really an ask, just wanted to say you guys are super awesome for rebooting the zine! i’m sure all the contributors are super appreciative towards you already, but on the consumer side of things we’re equally as appreciative and excited to see what you all have in store! really glad this project could come back to life! ♡
Thank you for the love! We're so happy you're also excited! 💚🧡
Im glad you stole the idea, I needed a laugh 🥴
Hello! Thanks for the ask. We're super enthusiastic about this project!
After unfortunate events of the first iteration of this zine (e.g., the deletion of everything, and mods and contributors left in a lot of confusion), we decided that the best way to be fair to the contributors and to the many, many people that were looking forward to this zine would be to reboot it as free and digital. We picked up where the previous one left off. We redesigned and reintroduced the zine to be fair to everyone—the previous zine's mod team included.
This is not a stolen idea, nor do we pretend that it is separate from the first one. This is just a continuation of an idea many were passionate about!
We have a great line up of both artists and writers that are ready to bring this to the finish line, and it's going to be awesome. Additionally, everyone on the mod team either has previous mod experience or applicable real-life experience.
In short, we're all very passionate about this project and want to do what we can to see it succeed. Thank you!
