Hi anon,

Elle here! Thank you for your interest in the project. I am so glad that you want to see Lavender Blue handled correctly, and I want to assure you that we do, too! However, you're exactly right: you won't find any projects that I've worked on through the fulfillment stage. That's because this year is the first time I'm applying my career experience to fandom. I have, in both paid and volunteer positions, been the point of contact for project finances. As part of my work, I have also worked with printing services and have been the point of contact for custom merchandise orders.

I understand that these skills apply somewhat differently in the zine sphere, but I am learning a lot from the folks I'm working with on current projects, and I'm very excited to dig into the more hands-on aspects of this type of position as the other projects I'm part of move closer to the ends of their creation periods! That said, I completely understand your hestitation to trust someone new in such a critical position. Please rest assured that although I am the person designated to perform certain processes and communications for this project, we are approaching the zine as a team.

Further, I have been careful to limit the projects I'm involved in and schedule them carefully so that I am always able to prioritize those at more critical points. I'm also only taking part in projects about which I feel personally passionate and with teams I am confident in. All of these things also contribute to the project's overall success.

I hope this eases your concerns somewhat! If you have specific questions, you are always welcome to reach out to me via any of my socials listed on our Carrd.

Thank you again for reaching out!
