Beidou and Ningguang
Tartaglia and Lumine
Kaedehara Kazuha and Tomo
Kaveh and Alhaitham

Hello! I really want to purchase a bundle but so many Genshin zines lately have had such long production times due to formatting or production delays. Has the book been formatted yet? What will the production process be like?
Hello! Please do not hesitate to purchase a bundle 🫶 thank you for thinking about us!
We have placed orders for sample merch, with orders for sample books scheduled in the next couple of weeks, and are working closely with our partner manufacturers throughout the process. While we can't guarantee the entire production process will be smooth sailing, we went into our plans of making two books and a handbag with awareness of the workload and only after discussing with our shipping mod regarding space and packing time.
We checked internally to confirm with our formatting and finance mods before writing this reply and can confirm formatting on both books is underway, and manufacturers have been decided + procedures are in place to ensure that items are sent for production quickly.
We hope this answer is sufficient and hope you can look forward to seeing samples displayed on our social media to allay your worries!
Is the name "Legendarium" inspired from the book with the same name from the TV series Winx Club?
Would you place and order if we hypothetically said yes? 👀🫶
Are all the names of the characters mentioned in the lineup of the main/side zine final?
I saw that, for example, Neuvillette is featured on the cover of the main zine but he is not mentioned in the lineup.
Hello! The names mentioned are not exhaustive, as we have been working day and night, some characters might have slipped through our minds🫶 we will update the final as soon as we can!
Hi! I’m interested in getting a bundle but when I go to check out with PayPal the button disappears. Do you not accept PayPal? ToT
Hello! Please DM us on Twitter or Bigcartel so we can look into this issue asap. Currently we accept stripe and PayPal payments!
In the FAQ it is stated that relationships within the zine "should not be the focus of the piece" and that "overt displays of romance will not be included" — I notice that your enamel pin is very overt, and is the "focus of the piece". Are there any other ships drawn within the zine aside from chilumi? I do not want to buy and support a chilumi "centric" zine that goes against the FAQs stated by the moderators. (1/2)
Hello! There’s are several ships from different regions included within the zine including mlm, wlw and mlw, this is not a Chilumi centric zine. The early bird is simply given importance during the first 72 hours. Other pieces from within the zine will be previewed in a timely manner and will include previews of the other ships. Stay tuned 🫶
Can writers request general port feedback? And were pinch hitters notified that they were pinch hitters?
Due to the large volume of applications, we cannot give individual feedback to the applicants. If anyone wishes for feedback please write to the Zine mail. However we can’t promise feedback to everyone due to time constraints.
did you do any sort of vetting or background checking on your contributors?
We checked information which was deemed relevant for the Zine
If sales do break even, will the full bundle still be available to contributors at production cost?
Mainly wondering if there’s a way to get a discounted full bundle if your a contributor! ^^
Hello! As of now the idea is to compensate all contributors with a pdf, and physical Zine book copy. Any further compensation will depend on how the Zine does :)
However, a full bundle, and all items may be available to contributors at a discounted or production price if we break even! Incase anyone wishes to pick up extra copies of products above their compensation, we will see to it that it is offered at a nominal rate to the contributors!
Hello! Are legends and folktales allowed too? Or just myths and fairy tales?
Hello! We will have to see the pitch and deliberate as a team. Legends and folk tales often fall under one or the other mythology, sometimes folklore is another way of telling a myth. They’re interwoven, but we aim to stick to the overall theme of Myths and Fairytales

Hello! If I want to apply to both a writer and a poet position, can I submit two different applications with two different portfolios?
Hello! You may submit it as one application and we will consider you for both roles!
do any of our samples have to be published or can some be drafts?
We request complete works! They can be published or kept private, that is not an issue.
