Hello, I can't see anywhere to add the discount code on the BigCartel site during checkout. How do we use that?
Hi! We have looked into it, and the issue should be fixed now! You should see under "order summary" there's an option to add a discount code
for itchio how do we put in our info for physical orders? i know shippings included in the price so i was just curious about how that works
Hello! There is a link in the purchase email to fill out the shipping info!
Will you be doing a second round of zine?
Hello, no we won't be!
Were you guys going to go through with using big cartel? I really wanna order but don't feel comfortable using the website that's already set up
We're opening our bigcartel on Friday 5/26!
Will there be a leftovers sale? Cause I just want the pin and can wait if so.
Hi! Unfortunately we can't guarantee there will be a leftovers sale at this time.
ik it’s just been a few days but will it be posted anywhere how close we are to the stretch goal?
We will post on twitter!
quick question, how long will pre-orders be open? i want the merch bundle but i need to wait a bit 😅
Our pre-orders will be open until June 10th!
Hello, I can't find a picture/description of the pocket notebook anywhere. I don't think it's shown in the image on itch.io, I wasn't able to find a picture on twitter either. The artist might have posted a preview on their account but their account is locked so it's not visible. Can some info for that merch be shared on twitter?
Hey! Detailed previews for every merch item will be posted over the course of the pre-order period, so more info is to come!
Is this a comic type story or mainly written
We have multiple written stories and page art!
Hi, I know the FAQ says you will accept as many contributors as the mods feel comfortable handling, I was wondering how many that ended up being?
For the main zine, Creep, we took 9 writers and 8 artists. For the add-on, Criminal, we took 7 writers and 6 artists and overall we also took 5 merch artists! (This does not include our guests).
Is the # of merch apps included in the 30 artist apps?
Hi, yes both artist and merch artists were included in the # of apps we received.
What time are the applications due? (sorry for the third question in a row, but i think this is the last one)
We will be closing applications at 12am EST!
I want to apply for Merch artists but noticed in guidelines it says merch applications need one sample needs to be a merch design. But it also says don't need to have produced merch to apply? I'm confused- Do we need to create a merch piece specifically for our application then?
You don’t need to have physical merch samples to apply, but you do need a sample design that could be used for digital merch
How long will zine pieces be?
2-3k words.
Is an excerpt from an uncompleted fic (meaning I wouldn't be able to link the whole/original fic) acceptable for the application?
Yes, excerpts are welcome!
