Hello! I can't find pictures of the stretch goals anywhere, do you guys have a link/pic of them?
We will be sharing those shortly! We are very excited to showcase these pieces.
What is your policy regarding group orders?
Please DM our account on X/Twitter if you are interested in setting up a group order.
Hi, for the bonus pouch, would you still get it as an extra even if you ordered only the basic zine, or could you only get the pouch if you ordered a bundle with merchandise??
Thanks for the question! The bonus pouch is only for the Full Bundle (Maybe I'll Take it All).
hi, sorry for the sudden message, a friend was trying to find the link in your profile for the store but they didn't find it easily and it wasn't in the carrd links, can it be added there? thank you!
Yes, absolutely. We will add it!
Hello, I just received my confirmation email from PayPal, but it was paid to [email protected]? Is this correct? Thank you!
That's correct! Thank you
Hii! Where are the zines shipped from?
The zines will be shipped from the United States!
Hello! Would it be possible to share the price of the full bundle beforehand? Would love to purchase the full bundle early for the early bird pouch! 💕 I just need to budget in advance due to purchasing a lot of Ratiorine merch recently T-T
Thank you for your interest! We're happy to share our planned prices ahead of time with the caveat that everyone should carefully review on our store, once it goes live, the details of each bundle to ensure you are purchasing everything you want! That said, the prices are: Full Bundle (NSFW and Digital Exclusive Add-ons) $92; Full Bundle (NSFW Add-on Only) $85; and Full Bundle (SFW Only) $75. Prices are in U.S. dollars. Each of those bundles come with digital copies of the zines. The "Digital Exclusive Add-On" are other digital items exclusive to that bundle. There will also be smaller bundles and zine only options.
if chosen as a pinchhitter, was that also specified in the email?
Thank you for the question. Yes, all pinch hitters were notified.
Hi! I just realised I applied as both an NSFW and SFW artist (my bad, should've double checked) but is there anything I can do about that?
Hi! You can go into your confirmation email of your application and change your answers, however, at this point in reviewing applications we may not see any changes made so please DM us so we can make sure to take any applications changes into account.
Will you send e-mails to participants who aren't accepted too? Just asking to manage my expectations :"D thank you!
Hi! Yes, all applicants will receive an email whether they have been accepted or not. These emails will be sent to the email addresses that were entered in by the applicants on their application, so if there is any typo then the email won't go through.
If you do not receive an email by May 22nd, please check your spam folders- then if you still haven't found one please feel free to DM us on twitter. But please DO NOT send us any DMs regarding acceptance status until after we indicate that all emails have gone out. Thank you!
Hi! After apps are closed, will you tell us how many people applied for each role? And also how many you’re planning to accept ^_^ gotta learn my chances as a gambler
Thanks for the question and your interest, gambler! We have greatly exceeded the number of applications the mods predicted by receiving double what we anticipated! We are reworking our final contributor numbers due to the interest in the project being greater than we planned. We unfortunately do not have firm numbers for you at this moment. We do not plan on giving a detailed breakdown of the number of applications after they close.
Hello, I was asking about the page artist application
Thanks for clarifying. Yes, you can still apply for that role!
Hi! I did see that I would need fully rendered pieces for my portfolio. However, I have many ratiorine sketches that might help the mods see my style for ratiorine. Also, I have nsfw examples but they aren’t fully rendered, would I need them to be fully rendered to submit as an nsfw artist?
Hello! We prefer fully rendered pieces, so please showcase your best work for the samples! You are free to submit sketches and non-rendered art in a separate folder as your portfolio if you would like to highlight more of your skills.
I'm confused about timezone can you make sure when is the deadline at GMT8+?
To clarify, applications for writers and artists close at the end of the day at 11:59 PM on May 15 in the ET timezone, which is GMT-4. This would be 3:59 AM GMT on May 16.
hi! i was wondering what the general timeline of the zine is, aka when writers and artists would need to submit their completed pieces for the zine thank u!
Thanks for the question! The final hand-in for artists and writers is currently September 15. The full schedule can be found on our carrd.
