hello! is there a way to buy the digital zine without having to give a shipping address (which doesn't seem necessary)? thank you!
Hi there! Thanks so much for your question! Due to the way Big Cartel works it's not possible to buy without providing a shipping address.
If you wouldn't like to enter your own address, you may put "N/A" in the address fields, or some generic information like "City A" and "123 Road".

All product bundles listed include the digital zine in the bundle that I see but not in the $40 physical merch bundle. Does that still include the zine?
Hi there! United Hearts (our physical merch bundle) doesn't include the zine PDF!

Hello, could it be possible to have a list of the ships inclued in the zine please? (platonic and romantic one)
Hi and thanks for your question! This is a general zine, so any possible ship content is background or implied, and not the main focus of any work!

Do you think a creator ratio of 13 artists and 13 writers is a little off? or a little narrow considering this is a digital project with no overhead?
Hi and thanks for reaching out! We decided to go forward with those numbers based on the interest shown during our Interest Check and considering contributor compensation, since we plan to feature some physical merch!

Hi! I see in the FAQ section there is a question about past Blue Lions being acceptable inclusions. Does that include Yuri? Thanks!
Hi and thanks for your question! Yes, Yuri is being considered a past Blue Lion! As the rest of the past BL, he can be included in works as a background character.

hi! in the guidelines it says to have 3 samples for a writing app, but in the form it says the third is optional, will that affect my submission? or would it be possible for me to reapply?
Hi and thanks for your question! Linking 2 or 3 samples will not affect your application, so don't worry! Thank you so much for reaching out about it!

Your carrd asks for pitches for artist applications, but your application forms don't have a field for pitches. How would you like us to get those to you?
Hi! Upon acceptance, you'll be able to submit your pitches to us for later approval!
