Found Family

A non-profit zine dedicated to fictional found families. *Orders Closed*

[foundfamilyzine]

Hey friends—thanks so much for your interest in our zine! We’re a few years along now and I didn’t realize all the info was still up here for additional copies until I received a payment recently—and that’s on me! But both us mods are in different positions of our lives now and we’ll unfortunately have to be closing sales. I’ll be deleting the posts regarding where to send payment for copies. You’ll have to find me in the wild for an actual copy. To the person who sent me a payment, I am currently scouring my apartment for a copy but if I can’t find one within the week, I’ll refund you.  Thanks very much for your support! —Mods J and Karyn

Maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way... Thanks absolutely everyone involved in this project; together we were able to raise $1032.63 to the Asylum Seekers Advocacy Project, a group that provides legal services for refugees fleeing crisis. We’re so glad we made it, we couldn’t have done it without you!

General updates

BUNDLE ORDERS: Got an update on our charms—they’ll be here this week! We’re so excited. The bundles will be shipped out next week (sometime between 1/28 and 2/2). 

BOOK-ONLY ORDERS: General info about shipping The exact locations of the zines are out of our hands, and in those of the postal service! International packages generally take about 3-4 weeks to arrive. Packages with LJ-starting numbers are rarely updated on tracking beyond the the country they departed from. The ‘US-’ beginning ones are updated all the way, yet are beyond our reach as the US postal service does not give those codes except for very heavy packages. The lack of updates on your tracking number likely means it’s on its way across the ocean! If you have a history of packages failing to arrive at your place, it’s also a good idea to check your local post office to see whether they’ve attempted delivery. It’s been known for some mailmen to ring the doorbell and walk away without dropping the package off or leaving an attempted delivery notice! If 6 weeks pass from the date you get your tracking number email and you have not received your package after checking the nearest post office, let us know.

Happy news (and happy new year)! Hard copies of Found Family are in and being packed! We're still waiting on some merchandise to come in but we are aiming to have all materials shipped out mid-January at the latest.

Thanks for your patience all!

Can I still buy a zine?

Sure, we just put up two zine-only packages up in the store! 

General zine updates

We’re currently in production! Charms will get to us mid-January. We will begin mailing out in January, finishing up the last few bundles in Feb. Because we ordered more sticker sheets than charms, we will have a zine + sticker sheet option in shop after all mailing is done/confirmed. Our store will be back for an extras sale in March or April, and the charity donation will happen right after. The digital sales will be open up until we’re ready to add the funds for the charity donation. Thanks for supporting the FFZ/Asylum Seekers Advocacy Project!
