Hey all! I'm sad to report there's some bad news about the project.

I, Head Mod Cat, have some unexpected personal ongoings that have made this zine too hard for me to responsibly oversee. I decided it would be unfair to everyone, especially the mod team I was very literally in the midst of putting together, should I continue with the zine. (Please check your inboxes as I've contacted every mod applicant. Rejection responses will be normal while my desired applicants will have this issue addressed). The project will be put indefinitely on hold for the time being.

It's very frustrating and disappointing as l've already put months of labor into the project, much of which was done before I ever started posting here on social media. While I'd love to return to the project one day, I'm rather defeated at the moment.

So I greatly apologize for everything and want to thank you all for the wonderful support I've gotten for this zine. If the project does come back it'll likely be with another head mod to make sure there's someone to fall back on should things go south with one of us. Or it'll be as an easier to manage exclusively digital format to ensure can still cover all bases despite what goes on in my personal life. This zine is still a big dream of mine that I'd love to see come to life somehow.

For now, hopefully you'll see me around the zine communit as an artist contributor! I still love being a part of them even if I don't have the capacity to lead them.

The mod application has been fixed and finance mod position has been added! There’s an option to apply to both finance and production if you’d like both, or individually if you only want one.

Please feel free to retake the application if you’d like one of those positions. Apologies for the messy beginning to mod apps!

Hey all! Head mod cat here with an update. I wanted to say that I think y’all are right in having a separate finance mod. With my role of managing the graphics, formatting, shipping, and leading art, it’ll already be a lot to take on. While I love to challenge myself with projects and do as much as I can by myself, finances are my least favorite thing to work with and we definitely don’t want those to go awry. So I’ll either add finance mod to the google forms application I just made or make a new separate one. Production mod is welcome to take on both production and finances or we can have two separate mods for each of those working together. I’d like for them to be the same person but I don’t want any mod for them to feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities. Thanks y’all for the input 💖

hihi i saw someone else asked about finance stuff and you mentioned the head mod cat would be handling it. does mod cat have any former finance mod experience? i couldn't find anything abt it on the zine carrd. esp if you will be producing physical items, i think it might be better if you recruited an actual finance/production mod, i've been on a lot of zines with 'first time finance mods' and it's kind of hard for it to go well

Hello! Head mod Cat has not been a zine finance mod but has run a few small art businesses before and does have experience with finances. They’re also extremely conservative with money and will not be frivolous about overspending on physical merch. The current plan is to limit the zine to a few simple physical merch items that are inexpensive to make and ship. Cat wants to keep this zine small, easy on the mods, and affordable to those interested. Thanks very much for your question!

Mod applications are finally open May 15 - June 10! We are looking for a social media, writing, production, and art mod! You can reach the application through our Carrd if you want to apply and prevent head mod Cat from withering away from stress. Your help will be much appreciated.

Question from mod apps: I saw that the bio of the twitter account stated that the zine was a digital charity one, however the interest check results seem to favor a physical bundle. Will the zine be switched to physical and digital charity now considering the interest in it?

Answer: The zine will be partially physical! Physical merch will be made for sure, and the zine being made physical is tbd. Head mod Cat would like to keep this project on the smaller, more manageable side.

hello, who is going to be the finance mod (ie holding the money, placing item orders, donating the final amount to charity)? is that something the production mod is responsible for or will the head mod be doing that?

Hello! Head mod Cat will be in charge of the finances. The production mod is welcome to review the finances as they wish as I understand it may be very useful information to have. But production mod is not at all required to manage the finances. Thanks very much for your question!

Results from our interest check! Thank you all again for participating and stay tuned for mod apps!

[cozycatzine]
