any news about the zine? latest photos are from a month ago, what are you/we waiting for?
Production is already in progress. Our Production and Shipping Mod, Ash, will have the zines in their possession near the end of November, at which point the zine can begin shipping. Hope that answers your question!
Hii!! I would like to ask if you guys will have leftover sales, and when? Unfortunately I was not able to grab a bundle as I was not calculating with the shipping expenses (sobs) and I would definitely like to buy a full bundle if there will be leftovers!! Thank you for your answer in advance, have a great day! ❤🙏
Hello! To answer your question, yes, we will be having leftover sales. While we do not presently when they will be, once production comes to an end and we have shipped out all the orders that have been made during preorders, we will make an announcement for the time frame in which leftover sales will take place. Hope that helps!
hello :) its been a bit since the last update and i just wanted to check in and see how things are going!
Hello! To answer your question, Ash, our Production and Shipping Mod, received the proof of the physical zine on July 14 after we had remedied the technical errors within the file that our printer brought to our attention. However, after going over the contents of the proof as a team, we decided that the fixes that had been made to the zine file were not to our satisfaction when translating them from digital to physical, especially since we noticed the presence of a lot more errors in the file than what was initially pointed out to us by the printer. Thus, we made the decision to look over the file one more time so to be able to fix the formatting of the zine.
After redoing the entire formatting of the zine so that we would no longer have to work with corrupted/incorrectly formatted files, Mira, our Graphics Mod, got back to us with the newly updated zine file with the final layout on July 31. Ash had then sent over this file to the printer for a new proof that we could be satisfied with before going into production. Unfortunately, we are still waiting to hear back from the printer, but once we do and we receive the new proof, we will be all set to go into production. Hope that update helps!
hello! i was wondering if i was able to change the shipping address to where the zine should be delivered. who would i send this to?
Hello! If you wish to change the shipping address of your order, please contact us either through Twitter, Instagram, or email and provide us with the following information: your order number, the previous shipping address, and the new shipping address. Hope that helps!
Hi there, it's been two months, I was just wondering if there were any production updates 🤗
Hello! To answer your question, production has started on all of the zine's merch items. Our shipping mod will be taking pictures of the merch items that have already arrived and sending it to the rest of the team soon, so please look forward to seeing those photos on our Twitter account once we receive them!
We have not started production of the physical zine yet due to some technical errors within the file that our printer brought to our attention. We are working to remedy these errors, but with the zine being shipped in from overseas, some delay is to be anticipated. We appreciate your understanding, and we hope this assuages any worries you might have.
hi! two questions - is the washi tape definitely included in the flat bundle, or just the half? and do you think there will be aftersales as well? (just budgeting, totally know there’s no guarantee in picking up the extras in after sales anyway but just wanted to check if it’s even on the cards at all)
Hello! To answer your first question, only the full bundle and flat bundle are eligible for the stamp washi tape stretch goal. In terms of merch, the half bundle is only eligible for the first stretch goal, the linked charm.
To answer your second question, we will be having leftover sales. Hope that helps!
hi! how's the situation with pdfs solved in group orders? like for example full bundle includes pdf, is it up to the person who organizes the group order to distribute pdfs and send it to other people? or do you have a different solution?
Hello! If a person places an order for either the half bundle or the full bundle via a group order, the most viable option for them to receive the digital zine PDF is for the person running the group order to reach out to us (either through our email, [email protected], or Twitter DMS) and send us the email of the customer they're ordering on behalf of so we can send it to them directly. Hope that helps!
hello, sorry this is a stupid question but i'm unfamiliar with zines. what exactly is a flat bundle and which zine option (digital or physical) is available in it? if it's available at all, it's not written on the preview thingy as far as i can see
Hello! To answer your question, a flat bundle aims to provide "flat" - that is to say, paper-related - merchandise for people who are more interested in purchasing merch rather than the physical zine. As such, as is indicated on the product description on our Shopify, the flat bundle does not make the zine (either in digital or physical form) available for purchase.
Hi ! I have a question regarding the stretch goals. If someone order several bundles (A GO for example), including a full bundle and a flat bundle, will flat bundle still not be eligible for the linked charm stretch goal? Could you elaborate on how stretch goals will be distributed to the different packages considering that, if the stamp washi tape stretch goal isn't reached, flat bundle will not get anything, even though their orders will logically help reach the different stretch goals?
If the washi tape strech goal isn't reached, would the team consider adding the linked charm to flat bundles? If it is, could people who bought the flat bundle be able to pick between the washi and the linked charm? I understand than the flat bundle aims at "flat" goodies, as in mostly paper related merch, but considering the charm will ultimately be flatter to send in a package than the washi tape, some people may prefer it. Have the team considered those possibilities?
Thank you
Hello! To make things more convenient for the mod team, the stretch goal merch will be allocated per each bundle purchased, based on which stretch goals a bundle is eligible for.
While we understand that this would potentially result in the flat bundle not receiving any stretch goal merch, given that we are currently only 5 physical orders away from the second stretch goal being reached, that is not currently something the mod team believes will be a concern. Hope that helps!
hello! apologies if this question has already been answered, but do you know the estimated costs for physical copies, bundles, and pdf’s for the zine? i just want to know an approximate of how much i should set aside for it lolol
Hello! Apologies for the late response, but the prices for bundles range from $15 to $65, with the digital bundle being $15, the zine-only bundle being $25, the flat bundle being $40, the half bundle being $45, and the full bundle being $65. Hope that helps!
Hi!! I was wondering if this zine will be digital??
Hello! This zine is physical, but we will be making a digital bundle available for purchase during preorders. Hope that helps!
Hi! Is this zine still continuing? I’ve been saving money for it but I’m worried it got quietly cancelled :’)
Hello! This zine is still active, but we have unfortunately been working primarily behind-the-scenes to deal with certain delays experienced during our Creation period. However, we should now be projected to open preorders in late January/early February. We appreciate your understanding, and we hope this assuages any worries you might have.
Hello, on the schedule it says preorders will open late October. Is this still the case? If so do you have certain dates yet for when it opens and ends? Thank you. :)
Hello! Thank you for your question. Due to certain delays during our Creation period, we are not yet able to open Preorders as projected on our schedule. However, once everything has been accounted for, we will be able to make an announcement on our social media about the official Preorder period. We appreciate your understanding!
Hello, when will application results be sent out?
Hello! Application results are currently planned to be sent out on May 7. Hope that helps!
If you don't mind, how many apps did you receive in the end?
Hello! We received 200+ apps in total. Hope that answers your question!
