Hello friend! My friend is a huge Usopp fan but I didn’t know about this zine till today, I know your in production but will there be a leftovers sale?
Hello, yes there will be aftersales. Just keep an eye on our twitter and tumblr accounts for updates!
I accidentally ordered twice, how do I cancel my order?
Please send a message through the contact page on the shop’s website with the order number you wish to cancel.
Do you guys ship to Canada?
Yes we do!
Hello, I found you guys on Tumblr and saw the stretch goals you have but I have no idea how to see where you guys are at on them. I am curious if you've hit any goals as well as potential future shipping dates (I pre-ordered so I am just really curious about it!)? Sorry to bother you but I am so curious and feel I am a bit late to this party so I feel under informed.
At the moment we have unlocked the button, God keychain, gold foil print upgrade, and tote bag. We are currently 4 orders away from unlocking the candy shaker. As for shipping, we estimate that will begin in July. We’re on Twitter/X as well.
Please forgive the silly question, but what are we supposed to use the emotes for? They're super cute but I'm not sure where we can/should use them?
Not a silly question at all! They can be used for discord!
Hello!
When will contributors be announced? I understand that applications were extended, so I assume early August?
August 10th emails should be going out. :D
hi! what timezone are you running? thanks
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Hi! Are mod app results going to be announced soon? Thanks!
Sorry, we’re currently going over them.
Hello! For our portfolio pieces in the writers application, is there a word limit?
Yes, it’s 2,000 words each. You can use snippets from longer pieces, just make sure to link the full version.
This isn't really a question, but in your apps it asks for discord names with numbers, but discord is getting rid of the numbers in favor of just plain usernames, so I just wanted to let y'all know.
Thank you, and yes we’re aware. Not everyone has changed their names yet, so we’re still asking for them at the moment.
If someone that already applied changed their discord name they can let us know when contacted after apps close.
Ive been in a couple of zines before, but only as a page artist. Even if I never been a merch artist, could I apple for that role? And will I be given resources and help from mods to learn to create merch?
Yes, even if you’ve never made merch, you can still apply for merch artist. We’ll be working with artists to make sure everything is set up properly.
I was looking at the contributor guidelines and I'm wondering two things
Why are artists required to do two pages instead of the usual one?
And why are the merch options so limited? I would love to see emotes and icons for digital merch and things like stickers would be nice to see on the physical side. I completly respect it if you deliveratedly decided to do little merch, I just found it strange
Artists can do one page if they wish. Two pages is also for any artists that want to do a double page spread. And the merch listed are just examples and not a complete list. :D
Will you be inviting guests and if so when?
Yes we will! During contributor apps we’ll be sending out invites.
Are you willing to have one person for two mod positions like Finance & Shipping?
Yes, you can apply for more than one position. And we might combine the positions depending on the apps.
Can i be both an Artist and Writer Contributor for the Usoppzine?
You can apply for writer and artist, but no guarantee you’ll get selected for both.
