Grace Field Sun Zine ☀️

This is a ship-free, sfw zine dedicated to our favorite loveable character from The Promised Neverland, Emma!

An Overdue Explanation

TL;DR: pdfs have been emailed. packages have been shipped. Pam, a contributor to the zine, is working on getting and sending out the tracking info.

Hello, please call me Pam. I’m one of the writers who contributed to this zine. My personal tumblr is @pamsssssss

Who I Am:

I am not a Mod, rather just one of the many contributors who have offered to step up throughout this arduous process. I will do what I can to answer any questions you all might have and to get answers from the Mod for any questions I don’t have the answer to. Think of me as an advocate on your behalf, a go-between from concerned buyer to mod.

There are many wonderful contributors who are working behind-the-scenes to see this project to the end. We hoped things would work out on their own, but have collectively realized that is not going to be the case. Now, we are doing what we can to set things right and hold Mod Bluebird accountable. You have many advocates on your side. I am their voice to you, and I will be your voice to them and the mods.

What We’ve Done:

We received the emails of everyone who purchased a PDF and one of our contributors emailed the PDF and an apology letter to these buyers. For sake of transparency, Mod Bluebird gave us 11 email addresses. If you have not received your PDF, please let me know. (DM’ing me on my personal tumblr is probably easiest)

Verified with Mod Bluebird that buyer packages have been sent. On September 18, Bluebird said “I sent out the last few buyer packages a few weeks ago” Packages are shipping from Canada, so they may take a while to arrive

Gained access to the tumblr (hey hey) so we can keep you updated and answer any questions you have

What We’re Doing:

Getting tracking numbers from Bluebird so buyers can keep an eye on the state of their packages. We are also working to get access to the zine’s email so we can send everyone their tracking from there and answer any questions that may have been sent to email. Bluebird said she’s extremely busy this week but will try to compile tracking info as soon as possible. I will periodically check in with her and keep you posted.

Working to ensure contributor packages get shipped. They are still with Bluebird and, due to lack of funding, contributors may have to wait a while longer to have their packages shipped. I unfortunately don’t have an ETA

Answering any and all questions you have. With tumblr being the site it is, it looks like most of the asks have been eaten, but I will try to answer what I can. You can always dm my personal tumblr, especially if your question doesn’t get answered. 

Thank you for reading thus far. I’m sorry things have been the way that they are. We are working on changing that.

Message for our contributors:

Your packages are in the mail! Please check either your discord dms or your email to see your tracking info. If you have any final questions, please let me or Mod Bluebird know.

Thank you for your hardwork and all your patience!

i got my bookmark and stickers but couldn't find the pdf in my email. could you resend it?

We're so glad your package arrived safely!

Could you please email [email protected] about the missing pdf, and I'll send it right away.

[gracefieldsunzine]

how do we access the pdf?

Hello! All of our buyers should have been emailed the pdf. One of our contributors sent it out, so look through your inbox for the link. If you have not received the pdf but did purchase it, you can email me at [email protected] and I'll send it to you.

Update

All buyers have been emailed tracking information! If you have not received your tracking or your pdf, please let me know.

Thanks for hanging in there! -Pam

Inbox Glitch

Pam here:

After sending some test asks, I’m afraid to say our inbox is broken. I can  only see the most recent asks by looking at the activity on mobile. I can’t directly respond to these asks because trying just gives me an error message.

Feel free to dm me @pamsssssss with any asks, or reblog our posts with any of your questions. I will do what I can to answer everybody but Tumblr is not making it easy.

[gracefieldsunzine]

Askbox has been fixed! I didn't realize I didn't have the proper permissions to access it 😅

I'll be clearing out any old asks and answering any questions that haven't already been answered in the update post.

Feel free to send any questions/comments you have! -Pam

A Letter from the Contributors

This letter was emailed with the PDFs. -Pam

Hello,

First, we, being the other contributors and I, would like to apologize for all the frustration and stress this zine has caused. I know it can be scary as a buyer to have put your money into a project you are passionate about and to only receive radio silence. I personally have invested in projects that have dropped off the face of the earth, so I do not take your anxiety and unease lightly. There is no greater stress for a buyer than the thought of being scammed. Your feelings are completely warranted. You are allowed your anger and anxiety and unease. The least the mods could have offered you was steady communication. I am sorry you have not even received that much.

Here is the pdf you have been waiting for [included via email only]. I’m sorry it took this long, and I’m sorry we, as the contributors, have not advocated sooner on your behalf. We have tried to hold the mods accountable and have faced our own bouts of frustration and confusion. Going forward we will be more firm in our resolve and will do the utmost to make sure you receive what you have paid for.

For buyers that are waiting for physical items: the head mod, Bluebird, has shipped the items. She told us she shipped the last of them several weeks ago from Canada. While contributors are still waiting for our personal packages to ship, everyone who has paid for a physical item should be receiving what they’ve paid for. We’re waiting for Mod Bluebird to update us on if buyers have received tracking info or not. [update: Bluebird is compiling the tracking for us to send out] I’m sorry that we as contributors do not have a concrete timeline for you. I’m sorry that we must ask you to wait even longer than you already have. We are doing what we can to ensure you receive the goods you have paid for; however, as contributors and not mods, there is little more we can do than voice our concerns and wait. We are trying.

I’m sorry for the trouble this zine has caused. We appreciate your initial interest in the zine and for your willingness to support art that we have created. We appreciate your love for The Promised Neverland and for your eagerness to share that love with us. We appreciate the patience and leniency you have given us thus far. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you might have, and we will do our best to answer them.

Thank you,

The Artists and Writers of Grace Field Sun Zine

[Image Description: an anon tumblr ask saying, “Have all the zines shipped? the last update to this blog was saying they were going to but there was no update post saying they did” End ID]

Pam here!

Yes, all buyer zines have shipped! Pdfs were emailed earlier this week, and Bluebird said they shipped the last of the merch packages several weeks ago. We are working on getting the tracking numbers from Bluebird and sending them to the buyers. Please hang in for a bit longer! All packages are shipping from Canada.

The only packages that have not shipped are contributor packages. I have no ETA for that, but will try to get one as soon as possible.

Thanks for asking!

[gracefieldsunzine]

[Image Description: An anonymous tumblr ask saying, “any new updates on merch being shipped out? or the download link to the digital zine being emailed out? it’s been a long time since the last update and since merch was supposedly supposed to start shipping out” end ID]

Hello! I’m Pam, one of the contributors.

Mod Bluebird told contributors on 9/18 that merch packages have been sent. She is going to compile the tracking info so we can send it to the buyers. They said she’s rather busy this week, but I will periodically check in with them. I’ll post an update at the end of the week. All packages are being shipped from Canada.

One of our awesome contributors has sent out the pdfs from their own email. Reminder for all buyers to check their emails and their spam folders. If you haven’t received yours, please message me @pamsssssss​ Tumblr is eating asks, so dm’s preferred. I’m working on getting the zine email login so I can answer any questions sent there.

Contributor packages have not been sent. Contributors, hang in tight. I’ll try to get an ETA for that and will keep you all updated as soon as I have it.

Yes, it has been a long time since the last update, and I’m sorry you had to wait this long. I’m working on making sure communication channels are better. Thank you for your patience and for checking in.

are there any production updates? it's been quite awhile

Yes! All our merch has arrived and is being prepped for shipping.

[gracefieldsunzine]

Production Update:

Hello all! There was a slight delay because of the holiday shipping rush, but the hard copy proofs of our print and bookmark have arrived! They’re currently being looked over before the final design is approved. We’re also expecting the digital proofs of the charm, stickers, and buttons to be sent some time in the near future!

And we’re also holding another round of digital sales opening this Friday until the 4th of January! So you’ll still have a chance to get a copy of the zine if you missed preorders.

Thank you all so much for your support and have a lovely week!
