Tumblr for the fan-run Jasper appreciation zine.

Please stop harassing artists or others about this

I don't want to cancel this project outright but I am trying to work through refunds for people. Thank you

[jasperzine]

I'm waiting on my printer proof. If you want a refund please use [email protected]

Sending things to the printer next week

I'm sorry I've been away from here and emails. I'll be catching up now that my work situation has changed.

GUYS THERE IS...

A LOT OF JASPER ON MY SCREEN RIGHT NOW

i’m die

[jasperzine]

I’m finally at the layout stage for all this, it’s going quickly now that I actually have time off to do it. 

Also GOD DAMN everyone’s art and writing is even better than I remember.

I’m a goddamn genius and accidentally formatted it as a4, my normal default, and wondered why none of the art fit....

To field off any further questions, this is exactly what’s going on:

When I started this project my work wasn’t particularly busy and I had three other co-workers working with me.

Since the start of January, work has become unnaturally busy (almost twice as busy as the same time the last two years) and I’ve gone from having three people helping me, to alternating between one and two (people quitting, being fired, and one death in the family causing someone to go back home). As of this Sunday, I’ll be the only person working my area. I’ll have to be trying to do the labour of four,aided by whatever coworker from other areas can be shoved my way to help for now

They’re trying to hire more people, but it’s skilled work and it’s been very hard to find suitable candidates, and on the days I have been having off I’ve been catching up with housework and sleep.

I’m writing this in the break room, midway through an eleven hour shift (eleven to ten)

And that’s why the zine has been running slow.

[jasperzine]

Also I keep going "in a week or two it'll be back to normal and I can catch up" AND IT NEVER HAPPENS

I order and paid 11/22/2016. 5 months. Now please answers me. I need to know what is going to happen here. Yes or No. Are you going to print this zine or not? How much longer?

I am going to print the zine, I do not have an eta, my work life is extremely busy and I'm doing my best. I've already offered to refund your money twice at this point.

[jasperzine]

What are the odds your not going to print the zine? Give its been over 6 months. I know a lot of people are worried.

The last art for the zine came to me in January and preorders closed mid December.  I'll publish ìt and it's disingenuous to claim 6 months given the artists were chosen around then

[jasperzine]

Hi, I'm starting to get concerned about the Zine's progress. Last update I can find is a Tuesday post about making an update on Friday, January 20th (about a month ago). Could we get some transparency on the current status? Thank you so much!

I thought I had posted since then,  I'm still making it but my work has been unusually busy. (For example I have worked six day weeks the last three weeks)

[jasperzine]

Progress report on friday

Hopefully I'll be showing you print ready proofs.

[jasperzine]

Yes, I'm still working on the zine

It's more work than I realised but it is progressing.  I'll post some proofs when they come in. 

[jasperzine]

It lives!

The computer is back running, and I'm looking forward to a holiday of collation and sticker printing! ♥

Computer issues

As I mentioned earlier, my computer has been having trouble, in that it's not showing anything on a monitor and I'm not clear why. I've done what I can(before you suggest things yes I've changed monitors and cables and sadly the video card is built in so I can't swap that), but luckily it's a new machine and is under warranty. Worst to worst I will be sending the files to the printer soon after the new year. EVERYTHING IS IN MY EMAIL OR DRIVE, NO ORIGINAL FILES WILL BE LOST besides the logo file and what compilation work I've done. This zine will be printed if I have to go to a computer cafe and rent time on their machines to do so, but hopefully it won't come to that.

[jasperzine]

How's the progress on jasperzine?

Not as well as I'd like... computer issues that I've been attempting to fix but I may need to take it into a shop for repairs.  Lucky everything for the zine was emailed but the compilation files aren't.
