Hi! Do you think you would ever do a similar project ever again? I just found out about this zine and I love the idea so much! I’d love to have a chance to work on something like this in the future!
Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words. Unfortunately, the mod team currently doesn't have any plans to do a sequel or continuation in the future. Thank you very much for the support - please take advantage of our leftover sales if you haven't already!
What makes the B-grade zine different from the A-grade ones?
B-grade zines may have imperfections such as scuffed covers or slight misprints!
Hello! Is there a way to purchase all of a specific type of merch (e.g. flat or hard) at a discount? I would like to purchase the majority of the hard merch, but the pricing can go pretty high with multiple individual items.
Hi there. Unfortunately, we aren't planning to create bundles. It wouldn't be fair to the people who already purchased the items, and we are trying to keep leftovers as streamlined as possible for the sake of our shipping mod. We apologize for the inconvenience!
Will the leftover sale include the tighnari pin?
Yes, the leftover sales will include the Tighnari pin.
Hello! It’s been awhile since preorders closed. How is production going along?
Hello! We have provided some production updates on our twitter: https://twitter.com/genshinesports/status/1675972842675146752?s=20
As of this post, books have also been ordered and are en route to our shipping mod!
i preordered during the early bird period and was really looking forward to the enamel pin stretch goal but it doesnt seem like it'll make it there before orders ernd, is it possible to have that pin design become a sticker or an icon in the digital bundle? i just love the look of it so much!
Hello, thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, we are unable to make a sticker out of the pin design due to budget considerations. We also are not able to update the digital bundle. If you are interested in the design as a pin, we encourage reaching out to the artist after the zine project is complete! The pin design artist is @/starriewing on Twitter.
Is it possible to combine shipping with the adventurer's handbook zine? :)
Yes! As long as you fill out the collab form, your orders will be shipped together!
Is there a Merch only bundle option available?
There is no merch only bundle available. You could consider splitting a bundle with a friend, or checking out our half bundle which contains all of our paper merch and extra goodies from the share campaign, stretch goals, and collab event!
Just curious, have any of the stretch goals been unlocked? :)
We are only a couple sales away from unlocking our first stretch goal!
would it be possible to upgrade to a different bundle later in PO? i'd love to get the early bird but my budget opens up later in march :(
Yes! As long as you purchase a physical bundle now, you will get the early bird reward. Whenever you're ready, just email us at [email protected] with your order number and the bundle you want to upgrade to and we will invoice you for the price difference.
helloo how many apps did u receive?
We received more than 200 applications!
Can we dm to have our samples edited? Or are we not allowed to change our apps? Thanks in advance!
If you'd like to edit your samples, you can email us at [email protected]! Please use the email you applied with.
Will characters' teams and teammates be predetermined or is it a free for all for contributors to pick whoever they want to include in their piece?
Contributors are free to pitch whoever they want in their piece, including choosing teammates/teams! However, variety in pitches is encouraged to prevent oversaturation of certain characters.
Would written WIPs count as a sample or does it need to be completed?
WIPs are fine for samples, but they should be treated the same as excerpts of completed pieces! Therefore, please do not submit samples containing outlines or unfinished sentences/paragraphs.
Hello! May I know what is your expected word count for final submissions for fics and articles?
For writers, our maximum word count is 2,000 words. You can view our full specs on our info doc!
