The zines are all dispatched, hope you'll receive it soon :) (tracking number in email)
The net proceeds have now been donated to the Khartoum Kitchen 🇸🇩, please see below the excel sheet and donation receipt. You can also verify the donation here, or in the 'recent donation' list on their homepage.
Thank you so much everyone for the support, I really appreciate it. x
(EDIT: Please as there are only this many copies available the purchase limit is one copy per person. My apologies for not stating this clearly beforehand.)
It's here! Popup shop opens this Saturday, May 16, 19:00 BST (i.e. 11:00 PDT, 14:00 EDT, 20:00 CEST) on my website:
A collection of my three Moiraine Damodred/Siuan Sanche fan comics, in chronological order.
Due to physical and time limitations on my part, there will be 12 copies available for purchase.
All proceeds after cost will be donated to the Khartoum Aid Kitchen in Sudan.
Even if you're not getting this zine please consider donating to them. Sudan is currently experiencing one of the worst man-made famines in modern history but there's barely any coverage about it. If you're able to, please consider donating.
(The cyanotype image on the cover varies slightly as each one was developed individually by hand.)

I set up the files for my inkjet printer to print in halftone, so that the texture mimics screenprinting:
Book spine (the ribbon is sewn onto the belly band, which is also screwed to the zine so I'm not sure if it still qualifies as a belly band but a flap, but it's convolutely cute and I'm proud):
There's also a random pufferfish at the end, on a little piece of art paper (paper and pufferfish both vary). I sprayed fixative on them so the pencil shouldn’t smudge too much:

Ship to anywhere in the world; you'll see an estimate for your country at checkout. Should be around £6-8.
The copy number on the last page starts at 6 and does not correspond to your order number.
Orders will be shipped after the sale is finished or within a week of purchase, whichever comes first. Follow-up on the donation will be posted here and on Instagram.

*Please note the cyanotype lace & fishing net image on the cover is made by hand individually with direct sun exposure. The colour might look darker or lighter than the one in the product photo as sunlight is a variable I do not hold power to control.
The brand of the watercolour paper also varies, hence the tint of the cover itself may look warmer or cooler than the photo. I am still pretty new to cyanotype so you might see blue blotches or brushstrokes on the cover; please know I am very embarrassed about this and hope you’d find the imperfections somewhat acceptable.

Making-of posts coming soonsss :) The zines were very fun to make, really fussy to design for an amateur like me and I cried twice because I kept breaking the threads while sewing on the ribbons.
At last, a very random but cheeky TMI: lace and lace ribbons are neutral, non-derogatory slang for lesbians in Mandarin. It’s only fair that this zine is covered in lace. And I’m glad I found one with a pattern that is, at least for me, very Siuanraine-coded.
I got a few weeks off so I’m making those 3 wot comics into a zine for fundraising. It's all hand-made by me so it'll just be a few copies.
All proceeds after costs will be donated to the Khartoum Aid Kitchen in Sudan.
(Will also be posting some design process and making-ofs because i’m dying over colour-grading my 15-year-old printer so yes you should absolutely see me crying blood on the floor inksoaked.)
More info coming soon once I figure out shipping options. Also if you're thinking about getting one please let me know where you're based. I'm travelling between EU and East Asia for the next few months so it'd help a lot to know where I ship them from. (No commitment at all I just want a general idea)
My hc is that Moiraine used to slip in apologies here and there to whichever horse Siuan was riding at the time when she wasn't looking and Arrow just watched her mom do her little thing.
I finally made my INPRNT page! People who asked thank you so much for your patience I'm really sorry it took this long.
All my works on this blog that I find printable are up, along with some of my other stuff. Anything upcoming will be added soon as I post it.
I don't think I will make the three comics into a zine anytime soon, but if I ever do I'll come back with a little poll; it's most likely just gonna be some ten handmade copies for fun and archiving. For this reason I did add a few pages that I personally really liked and would still work as a single print to the shop.
Hey so what if the books ended differently and they survived together and healed together and could love and comfort each other through the aftermath. WHAT IFFFFF :''''))
Say it's a pair of ter'angreal Siuan found in the White Tower that leads to this open space, some point during the first couple of years she was raised to the stole.
I make a sound every time I see you made a new art of moiraine and siuan, thank you so much for your services really
oh oh my first ask thankyu anon *arms flailing
I started drawing them bc I needed to do something to heal myself after s3 and wasn't expecting this much support from others, so thank you so much for liking my work!!
I'm glad I decided to post them instead of burying them in my hard drive and that they were able to reach you xxx
my brain at 3am: oh ohhH btw I know you're sleep-deprived but hear me out those endless lace ruffles that Moiraine hated so much but after an eternity of mental wrestling with herself still chose to keep on her bed just because Siuan liked them don't we want to know what they looked like
Moiraine basically went "I can't tell you how much I'm triggered by all this lace but she likes it what can I say as long as she's happy screw me and my family trauma then"
finally all posted on Twitter and Instagram if you're on these two platforms (I don't use twitter that much but i saw someone asking in a reblog so here it is! I do check instagram a bit more x)
and the two comics on ao3 here just because
(there mighhhht be another one can’t promise anything tho im still in the midst of refining the script, bit busy atm)
I'm generally not online very often so apologies if I ever get back to anyone late. thank you so much again for liking my stuff all of the reblog tags you're all SO WONDERFUL i can’t tell you how much it means to me <3<3
