I just received my order, and I am blown away by the quality!! The zine is beautifully constructed -- you all did an amazing job. The stickers and extra goodies are so cute, and I love the little polaroid!! Well done mods and contributors! You should all be VERY PROUD of what you've created. 💙💙
I didn't realize that half the proceeds were going to Care for Gaza (maybe I missed the announcement) but that just makes me love this project more. Thank you for putting your support into such an important cause. 💙 I'm really glad that I decided to purchase from you guys. I see a lot of zine projects, and I don't usually buy them, but Buddy Daddies is a comparatively smaller (yet fiercely dedicated!!) fandom, so I had to throw in my support. And I'm really glad that I did.
From the river to the sea... 🍉🍉🍉
Thank you very much, we’re ecstatic to hear you’re enjoying the zine!
Yes, we’re honored to have run a project like this and now be able to donate its proceedings to Care for Gaza for those in need. We truly thank you for your support in our efforts! 🩵🍙🍉
Hello again, we have a brief update! We've received all updated addresses and have begun preparing labels for shipping this month. We understand that our production and subsequent shipping periods have taken far longer than expected, however we ask once more that you all remain patient for a short while longer.
Within the past week, Mod Finn has received personal medical news and must now take their health into consideration while packing and shipping all bundles for patrons and our own contributors. They said they expect to be able to pack, label, and ship orders by mid-June. Beyond that, our timeline remains dependent on the locations of you lovelies, as Mod Finn is based in the US and many of you are international.
We once again thank you for your patience and understanding. We recognize and sympathize with all concerns you've directed to us, but rest assured that Stronger Than Blood will be shipped safely this June. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out via email or DMs on our social media, thank you.

This next week is your final chance to request address changes. We’ve just sent emails to everyone who ordered from our shop, so if you need to change your physical address—or even your email address—please respond via email by May 30th, 11:59 PM EST. If you do not respond, we will assume your address is correct.
If you do not wish to change your address, you do not need to respond. We have all necessary information recorded from your order.
We thank you for your patience during our production period—shipping may now begin by the end of the month!

We’ve corrected the printing error and our full order has been labeled and prepped to ship to Mod Finn! We expect to be able to start our shipping period late May or early June, granted that the zines arrive with no issue. We thank you all for your patience with this project thus far!
Our full stock of acrylic charms (@shiaroo), die-cuts (@kiipio), and sticker sheets (Salmonfishuu) have arrived! We’re still processing the zine order, but that means we’re that much closer to starting the shipping phase!
The zine proof has arrived—@robo-nonagon’s covers have been brought to life, as has everyone else’s gorgeous work! There is an error in page order that we’re working to correct, however with this proof, we may now order in bulk.

Hello Kurusu Family lovers! We apologize for the bout of silence on all of our social media. As some of you may know, we've had to pause the production of our project in order to reorganize the mod team.
↓ Read the full post below ↓
Last month, our original head mod Savvy announced to our contributors that she would no longer be able to continue her role as a mod for Stronger Than Blood; these matters were personal to Savvy's life outside of social media and this zine. We've spent these past couple months finding a replacement for Savvy, transferring our funds in PayPal, and getting production sorted with our new shipping mod. Rest assured that the zine's funds are safe and fully accounted for, and that all mods on Stronger Than Blood have access to the PayPal and ALL other accounts. This mod team is communicative, and there have been no interpersonal issues in getting back down to business.
We understand that there may be other concerns beyond our delay in production and later shipping, especially in regards to who will be taking over the shipping + finance role on our team. As such, our Mod Team is now as follows:
Mod Havoc (graphics + formatting) has taken over the role of head mod.
Mod Leafy (writer / beta) now focuses on organization and communications.
Mod Finn has been brought on as our new shipping mod.
We've elected Mod Finn to take over that aspect of the project. At the recommendation of Mod Havoc, Finn has experience in running a small, personally owned business and in shipping products from this business to customers; additionally, their career focuses on PR & Marketing + Shipping, giving them professional background in magazines. We trust that they will be able to successfully and efficiently pack and ship all physical orders once they've received all items.
We know this is not the news you all would like to hear, as this kind of transition can cause delays and other issues with the project. So, understandably, we're certain some of you have concerns. We'll be happy to address them should you bring them to our attention. We request that you remain kind and respectful in communication; it has taken time, but we have been doing our best to ensure that this project remains upright so that we may deliver what you all have spent money on. That said, we have finished the process of transferring the PayPal account, and we are waiting for proof items of our merchandise. Production will proceed as normal as of this week, and we will keep you all updated on the arrival of our items as soon as Mod Finn receives them.
We want to thank you for your patience with us during this silent period of Stronger Than Blood. We're excited to officially produce our zine and our merch, and we can't wait to get them to you as soon as we're able. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us through our social media or our email.
Will the store open again eventually or is it closed forever? I was unable to place an order while the shop was open (money issues) until now, so I was curious... 😭
Hello!
Yes, our store will open again for Leftover Sales. We don’t have an exact date for when this will be, but it’s most likely to be in the summer.
Hi Friends! There are just 30 minutes left to preorder the Stronger Than Blood Buddy Daddies Zine! It’s really cute, and includes what is possibly one of the fluffiest fics I’ve ever read, so if you’re interested, be sure to snag one!
