Did this zine die?

We’ve been a little quiet here admittedly! Here’s an update: 

The zine itself is actually finished! The artists all did a great job. The problem was honestly an issue with timing, I- the person running the zine- was supposed to move cross country back in june, and the zine finished and I was trying to both plan a move and prepare a print run just as the lockdown was starting. the timing just wasn’t great and so I messaged the artist to let them know the zine was going on hiatus, and would hopefully come back up after I’d moved.  Then, I had to push back moving several months ;; so now I’m finally about to move, it should be within the next 2 weeks, and once I’m settled in I’m planning on starting preparations for the zine print run again!  TDLR; covid messed up my plans but the plan is once I move, hopefully within the next 2 months, I can take the finished zine and start a print/merch run!

Hello! I was wondering why did you select only 8 contributors when the response was as enourmous as 400+ applicants? Nothing's wrong with it ofc but it sure is an interesting choice😮

So sorry for the confusion, that’s not all of our contributors! We have nearly fifty artists contributing to the zine.  I posted 3 at the same time yesterday, as I’m obviously a little behind on the announcements. The “last but not least” was meant to say that was the last one I was posting for the day.  That sure would have been an interesting decision, huh!

Hey! Do you have a public schedule? I can't wait for this zine but I want to know when to start saving up for it.

We don’t have an exact date for when we’ll open preorders, but we can say that we’ll likely start advertising the zine along with any merch at the end of September, with preorders opening in mid-October!
