Hello everyone! I'm Veronica, I'm a writer for the We'll Meet Again zine and as of a couple days ago I am also now stepping up as a host to take over Sheol's position! I've worked in quite a few zines in the past several years, and I'm excited to bring my mod experience to this zine.
First off, I want to explain a bit about what has been happening with the zine since contributors turned in final pieces. The zine had been running fairly smoothly before that, but at that point, when the next step was for the formatting mods to begin putting together the zine, both formatting mods had new responsibilities in their lives since they first came into their positions - one started their first year in college, and one started working multiple jobs. Usually in zines, when a situation like this happens, the head mods would bring on an additional formatting mod to help with the workload, but this… did not happen. This caused the zine to get stuck in the formatting stage for months on end, being worked on very slowly, and this is still where the zine is today.
But not for much longer! I decided to reach out to Pudgy and offer to step into the host role because I love the work that the contributors in this zine have done and I have met so many people through this project that I care about deeply. Because of this I am VERY committed to helping it get back on track to be completed, printed, and sent out to all buyers.
My first step was to bring on a new formatting mod to help out our current mods. Their name is Nym, and over the next few days we are going to work on establishing a workflow with all 3 formatting mods and laying out a schedule for when the final zine will be done. This will be posted on all social medias as soon as we have it.
My next step is going to be going through our backlog of notifications and messages on every social media platform and responding to anyone who hasn't received a reply. I am also keeping tabs on the preorders, merch, etc stuff on the backend that Pudgy is handling and I will be communicating regularly with you all through our social media from now on. I can promise that EVERYONE WHO ASKED FOR A REFUND WILL GET IT. There was some stuff related to Sheol stepping down that previously prevented the mod team from being able to issue refunds, but the mod handover has now been finished and refunds will start going out IMMEDIATELY, and some of you might have already started to receive them. The merch has all been in Pudgy's possession for some time now and more merch photos are going to be posted to social media soon.
In the meantime, I am going to post a) a spread from the zine both as a treat for you all and proof that the zine layout is being worked on, and b) screenshots of the receipt from merch orders from the manufacturers until Pudgy is able to take pictures of the merch boxes (they moved recently and are still unpacking).
Anyone who has refund requests or address updates, please email us at [email protected]. Anyone who has any questions or concerns, you can either email us there or post in the questions-and-suggestions channel in our Discord (invite code: sYB69QjA5v)! Messages to our social media accounts will still be replied to, but I am working through our DM backlog and you're more likely to get a quick response through Discord and email.
I'm really, really excited to work on this zine and see it to completion. This zine has meant SO much to me and every single piece in it is a certified banger and I can't wait for you all to see it!
