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!
hello! if we update our app during the extension period, should we do anything to let you know, or will google forms let you know the input was updated?
Hello! Google Forms should let us know on our end that your application was updated. Hope that helps!
since contributor applications were extended, when will you send the results?
Hello! Results for contributor applications should be sent out on May 4. Hope that helps!
Can pitches include other characters as long as they're not the main focus (Alhaitham and Cyno)?
Hello! Yes, pitches can most certainly include other characters (i.e. featured as side characters, mentioned, etc.), so long as Al-Haitham and Cyno's relationship remains as the main focus of the pitch. Hope that helps!
At what time does the contribution apps end? I might be rather last minute with my submission and I'm worried I might miss the deadline because of time zone confusions.
Hello! The time contributor applications close should be 10:00 AM GMT-4, the same time as when posts are made. Hope that helps!
It seems like we are unable to edit my response from my end :'') I tried to reopen the submission page and it mentioned that I have already sent an application and I can only apply once, but I haven't seen an option to edit my response
Hello! Apologies for that error on our end, but response editing should now be enabled. For the copy of your application that was emailed to you, if you click on the hyperlink at top associated with the text "On Love: [Page Artist/Merch Artist/Writer] Applications," there should now be an option to "Edit your response" on the bottom of the page you were directed to. Hope this helps, and sorry for any inconvenience thus far!
