will u have a leftover items sale :(
Hiya! We intend to have leftover sales in the future. What’s included in the sale will depend on leftover stock and will take place once all our orders have been shipped out so keep an eye out on our social media’s for more updates!
oh i want the pin so bad,,,,,,,,,,,,,
We do too! We’re only 19 orders away from unlocking the pin so tell all your friends to order before 22nd March and let’s make it happen!
how many orders till the next SG?
Hi! We are 7 orders away!
how many limited edition bundles do you still have? waiting to get my paycheck soon and hoping you don't run out hehe!
Hi, there are 12 limited edition (Greek Gods' Miracle) bundles left
y did u delay preorders
Hello! The delay of POs was due to recent changes to the mod team, just to give us time to adjust. Thank you for your patience during this time!
can you open the pre orders soon?
Hello! We appreciate your enthusiasm. :)
Our schedule for the project, including our anticipated pre-order dates, can be found on our carrd here. We'll also be posting a countdown on the project's social media as the time for pre-orders approaches.
hope u r doing good! can we see more sneak peeks :)
Hope you're doing good, too! We do have more more in-progress previews in the works and on the docket for posting. Thank you so much for your interest! :)
will you show a contributor line up before preorders open pls?
Yes, a lineup will go up before preorders, after all the individual contributor graphics are posted!
hello, could there be an anouncement of the prices you will have in the store so we could save up :)
Hello! Thank you so much for planning ahead to grab a copy of our project, that really means a lot! We'll likely be doing a reveal of the bundles during the countdowns to pre-orders, so keep an eye out! :)
why did you all stop posting the contributor bios?
Hello! Apologies for the delay — our social media mod's been experiencing some personal issues, and other mods have had difficulty accessing accounts. We're working toward getting back on track with a posting schedule, so stay tuned for further updates! Thank you so much for your patience and we appreciate you checking in!
When will pinch hitters be added to the server? :0
Hello! A pinch hitter is a back up position; they are someone who gets contacted to fill in if a contributor drops and has to be replaced. Because this is conditional upon a contributor dropping, there's no guaranteed date that a pinch hitter may get invited to the server by, and there's no guarantee that any given pinch hitter will be invited to the server~ Thanks for your question! :)
why did you do applications instead of accepting everybody :(
Hello! As much as we would have loved to accept everybody, we unfortunately had limited space in a physical project such as this one. We really do appreciate your interest! Depending on how well the everything goes, we may be able to have a second volume at a later date to give more people the opportunity to participate as a contributor. :)
hey i didn't get any email about apps and its pretty late in the schedule but i still want to know what my results were... what should i do?
Hi! Shoot us an email at [email protected] and let us know what your credit name was. The email may have gone to your spam folder or otherwise gotten lost in the Mist somehow. Sorry about that!
wat timezone and time do apps close? thx!
Good question! Applications will close at 11:59pm in the Baker Island time zone. This is so any given applicant will have experienced 11:59pm on June 21st in their respective time zone before we close the application forms.
I would like to ask what the guidelines are for applications and how the samples are being graded so that I can best tailor my application samples. I did not find this in the information document. Thank you.
Hello and thank you for your question! Here's what we're scoring for on each app:
Artist Apps: Completed illustrations will be evaluated for technical skill, composition, detail and completion (completed backgrounds, fully rendered within your art style, etc.). They'll also be evaluated for how clearly they communicate their concept.
Writer Apps: Given that the writing for this project will be mostly non-standard, we're scoring mostly for a general control of language. Complete sentences, correct use of punctuation, coherent flow of ideas, etc. If your sample(s) contain a narrative element, we'll also be evaluating your ability to craft and complete that narrative in a finite amount of space. Your score will not be affected by regional conventions (e.g. dialogue marks, spelling differences, etc.).
Merch Apps: We're looking for completed merch or theoretical mockup designs, and scoring for anticipated audience appeal, stylistic fit, technical ability.
Chef Apps: For chef apps, we're looking for interesting and fun recipes demonstrating an understanding of safety, including but not limited to food handling and proper usage of any required equipment.
Cosplay Apps: Cosplay apps will be scored for high quality costuming, appropriate backgrounds/settings, and makeup (if applicable).
General practice for our apps are to submit samples most similar to what you intend to create for the zine, so that the mods can evaluate with the most accurate idea of what you're capable of in mind. PJO-specific work is a plus, but not a must. Outside of that, we'd like to see your best and most representative work! We'd much rather see a non-PJO work that you feel confident in than a PJO piece that you don't believe will reflect your current skill level.
