I know it says preorders are closed, but are PDF versions of the zine still available? Your bigcartel is still open so i figured i would ask :)
Hi there! Yes, we left PDF versions of the zine still available for those interested! Thanks so much for reaching out about it :D
What’s the progress on the tote bag and enamel pin stretch goals?
Hi there! Unfortunately, we didn't reach any of our stretch goals during our POs period; we closed with 33 orders
I think the store is down? When I try to checkout it just says The shop is not set up to make payments and that checkout is not enabled☹️
Hi there! Apologies about that; we're in the process of solving the problem. Thanks so much for the heads up! When it's all sorted out, we'll extend preorders by 2 weeks!
When will the winners for the giveaway be decided
Hi there! We hope to announce the giveaway winners tomorrow (September 16th) so stay tuned!
you guys need to update your carrd -- it has no relevant info anymore
Hi there! Thank you so much for the heads up! We went ahead and edited our carrd to include up-to-date information!
What kinds of merch are you planning to have?
Also how much do pitches matter when reviewing the apps? My muse has forsaken me this week but i really want to apply :')
Hi there! Apologies for answering your question until now. We'll be accepting the following types of merch:
Physical
- Sticker Sheet
- Note pad
- Pencil Pouch
- Keychain
- Tote bag (goal)
- Enamel Pin (goal)
Digital
- Phone wallpapers
- Icons
- Emotes/Emojis
- Printable items (coloring pages, bookmarks, paper dolls)
As for the importance of pitches, they just give us an idea of what applicants would like to create for the zine, so it doesn't matter how simple or detailed they are!
can carrd portfolios/tumblr art tags be used as a portfolio, or does it have to be google drive? (also, the submit questions link on the carrd links to a different zine’s qna page btw)
Hi there! Thank you so much for your question! Yes, carrd portfolios and Tumblr art tags are totally welcome! Regarding the issue with the submit questions link, we have checked the problem and fixed it, thank you so much for reaching out to us!
Not a question, but I just wanted to let you know that your carrd(in the faq) says contributors must be 16+, while everything else says 18+!
Thank you for letting us know! We've updated our Carrd to reflect. To clarify in case of confusion we are asking applicants to be 18 years or older at the time of applying.
