I just wanted to let you know, that the zine arrived in perfect condition (so fast) and it is beautiful!!! Everything is perfect and I appreciate all your hard work. I am also thankful for the opportunity to buy it (I just discovered existence of zines about two months ago, I think), so thank you :) Have a nice day!

Ohhh that’s great to hear! Thank you so much for the feedback ^^ I’m really glad you’re happy with your product and that it arrived safely!

[farewellzine]

UPDATE

ALL zines from the preorders have been sent out, including the two zines from the giveaways so you can expect them to be arriving soon! If you’ve moved since making either the original purchase and still haven’t got your copy OR if you’ve recently moved since purchasing from the second round of preorders, PLEASE reach out to me. 

I can be contacted at the zine’s email but even easier, I can be contacted at @ambyguity_ on twitter and @rarepairenabler on tumblr. Or here, even!

I still do have one or sell-able two copies left that wouldn’t count as dipping into my backup zine stash, so if you’re heartbroken about missing your opportunity to buy one, you can message me on either platform and I’ll see what I can do. 

Overall, I’m just really appreciative both of the incredible work each contributor put into their piece and of the fandom, for supporting this project and sharing so much positive feedback with me. It’s been a Lot, but every single one of you guys made it worth it, so thank you. 

So celebrate the zine being over, i’m selling the PDF version of the zine for 4 USD right now here and that sale will end on monday night, at which point I will officially remove the PDF option from the website. 

Again, thank you guys so much!

!!! does it make a difference if it’s the pdf version i was hoping to buy?? (thanks a bunch for considering!!!)

oHH yes it does. Sure, I have no problem with extending that until monday! 

[farewellzine]

maybe til monday if it’s at all possible?? that’s when i get paid so i’ll have the money to buy it then ❤️

hmmMM. right now i’m in a slightly sticky situation where I’m worried i’ll sell more copies than I have from the last run, but not enough to afford a second run and make a profit so I’m hesitant to keep preorders open any longer than friday. BUT what I can do is set aside a zine for you and when you’re ready, you can message me here off anon and do the exchange independently of storenvy :o 

[farewellzine]

ahhhh is there any chance you could extend the pre-order for a couple of days please?? ❤️

to what day?

[farewellzine]

will the main zine be available for viewing online for those who didn't win the giveaway or couldn't afford the physical copy or pdf?

unfortunately no BUT most of the stories and artwork are available online individually

★ PRE-ORDERS NOW REOPENED ★

Back by popular demand, I have decided to do another round of preorders for The HQ Farewell Zine!

★ You can now buy the zine for 23 dollars and the bundle for 28.50   ★ 

Shipping is available in America, Canada, and internationally. You can also buy the PDF separately here. 

I have learned a lot during the first print run and I’d like to put that experience to good use by making sure nobody misses out on their chance to buy the zine. The postcards and stickers will be the same as those used in the initial print run. 

Didn’t have the opportunity to get a copy last time? Bought the PDF but now what the printed version to have on your bookshelf? Now’s your chance! It also makes a perfect gift for a friend or sibling - The zine includes art by 20 incredible artists and fic by 11 talented writers!

★ Teaser art:

Please follow the blog or twitter for official updates, previews and shipping information. Preorders will end on the 10th of November, and I hope to start shipping out copies by the first week of December. 

★ Thank you guys for the continued support!!   ★

Preorders end NEXT FRIDAY, so if you want a physical or pdf copy, now is your chance!

I saw that you're the organizer for the Farewell zine! I want to make my own zone but I'm not sure where I can put all the photos and keep them in good quality, plus picture size and file type!!! there's so much!!!! how did you do it?

god that’s….a good question!

Step 1: Pick a format. I chose A5 (5.8 x 8.3 in) but A5 isn’t the most practical of sizes bc it requires larger paper which is then cut from its usual size to the the A5. My personal preference is A4 if you’re choosing something that’s going to have a lot of words. Sure, the pages are bigger, but the quality is better and you’ll have less pages overall because you don’t have to squeeze things onto those pages. Regardless, pick a style and format and make SURE you or your artists are consistent (I don’t know if this is a collaborative project). 

FILES - ask people to send in PDF files of their work if they can. It seems to me that PDFs do the best at maintaining file quality

ORGANIZATION - You’re going to want to create two folders on google drive - one for preview pictures and one for submissions 

FORMATTING - I used InDesign, and I high recommend that! Watch a few tutorials if you aren’t familiar with it. Lay out your zine, and leave room for BLEED. Your bleed should be 0p9 all around. Don’t compromise on this. Check out this page if you’re confused. 

If you can, estimate how many pages you want in advance. If you’re doing a cheaper project with a smaller amount of contributors or works, then you’ll be using saddle stitch binding (if you plan to print), or if you’re planning many pages, you’ll be doing perfect bound. 

There’s a lot to know about coordinating with other artists/writers, the printing process and the distributing process but I don’t know what kind of project this is! I hope this info helps, though!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Title: Crowsong Characters: Asahi, Daichi, Suga, Kiyoko Rating: General, although there’s background DaiSuga (because it’s meee) Tags: Graduation. Friendship. Word Count: 1.5k A/N: This was the piece I wrote for the @farewellzine and I collaborated with the wonderful @priintaniere (mainly because we both love DaiSuga and Karasuno so much). The artwork for this story is truly amazing and captures everything I wanted to say about my precious four third year crows.

Link to art here

Summary: 

As four first years, Asahi, Daichi, Suga and Kiyoko had joined Karasuno Volleyball Club as the lowliest of members.

Between them, they put in the work and gathered others to their flock.

And they soared.

But their flight has come to an end, and all they can leave behind on this graduation day are memories of a better time.

To Asahi, Graduation Day had galloped towards him after Spring High. Yet now as he sat, Time had slowed. It was as if he were a photographer looking through a viewfinder and waiting for the frame to focus.

Two blocks away, his teammates sat together. Asahi smiled knowing there should have been four spaces between them, but the sensei hadn’t counted on Suga’s persistence as he’d slipped eel-like through his classmates, joining Daichi in the middle of the bench.

Already in line, Shimizu waited to accept her diploma. Asahi didn’t know if she was crying, but thought it likely that only he of the four was.

Touching the second button of his gakuran, he felt a thudder in his chest.  They were leaving. This was their farewell. A swansong.

That’s not right.

But did crows have a song?
