may you find your valentine today. damp. slightly floral scented.

[shadhahvar]

No better way to find a valentine anytime of the year, right? Especially after they shoved you in and you pulled them in for retaliation.

Regarding our fulfillment--

Hello Agents and Recruits!

The heads of our agency have been discussing over the last few days our originally state projection to begin mailing bundles out, and due to several factors, we are going to delay until January. 

There are several factors for this.

The recent mail strike in Canada along with strikes in other countries have caused the mail to either not move at all or has initiated a sizable backlog, which means your goods have the potential for longer delivery times.

We’re also in the holiday full swing within the United States, and this means that anything being mailed has longer-than-usual delivery dates as well. This is also the time of year the USPS loses the most packages, and in the interest of ensuring your payloads arrive safely in your hands, we’d rather delay three weeks than take an unnecessary risk. 

We also want to ensure you all receive the best quality we can put out, so we want a little more breathing room to properly review both our digital and physical proofs with the mod team as well as the participants. We’re also still waiting on our enamel pins, and we had a printing error on our entire stock of one postcard that we’re finalizing a reprint for as well. 

We want to be transparent with you and tell you in advance that we’ll be pushing back the projected beginning of fulfillment so there are no questions or concerns when they don’t start going out next week. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but we really feel in order to get you the best quality product with the quickest shipping turnaround time as well as the safest possible handling when the goods leave @sleepyfortress‘s hands, we feel better being a more cautious and not rushing.

Thank you all for your understanding, Agent Dommi

Kidnap the Sandy Claws...

Who says the holiday season isn’t a good time for ghouls and ghost? If you’re still on the search for that perfect gift for your Yuri!! On ice loving friend or family member, you’re in luck! We have decided to extend preorders till December 10th, 11:59 pm ESt. We hope to give everyone enough time to snag a copy of the zine, a bundle with amazing merch, and one of our quality t-shirts that’s sure to wake the dead on Christmas morning.  You can get your copy at https://tictail.com/yoihorrorzine 

Happy Haunting Holidays!

Charity Auction Rec: shadhahvar

Another rec today for the excellent shadhahvar! Shadhahvar is an accomplished writer with a really entertaining sense of humor. She does serious and sexy work well, but I think her unique qualities really shine in the more humorous and even crack-y works in her profile. For a taste of both, I’d highly recommend the Reverse Bang she did alongside argyros’ art, Impractical Magic. It’s a story with magic, action, feelings, and daring adventure! It also happens to be a story where Yuuri is a magical girl and Victor is often a toy poodle. Also, Yuuri battles a giant sentient butt. Few other writers would dare. In addition to fic, shadhahvar is also offering her services as a beta, which I can vouch for personally. I can’t even tell you how many of my pieces she’s poked through, and I regularly recommend her to friends for this. You can find both of her charity auction offers HERE!

[shadhahvar]

Lou is too sweet, and also participating in the charity auction offering the delight of fanfiction! Check out Lou's offer at the following link:

Hello Recruits—

We’ve successfully charged a good chunk of our orders, and Mod Dommi will begin ordering the physical merchandise within the next 24 hours.

However, there is an issue with a significant portion of the charges, in that the pre-authorization hold failed and thus your charges did not complete. Unfortunately, PayPal doesn’t have an easy way for us to filter through all of the the transactions in our sales period, so Mod Dommi will be going through each one line by line and sending the failed/expired authorization buyers an invoice for their bundles and shipping.

If you receive an invoice, please remit payment no later than Saturday, November 10th so we can still meet our projected timeframe for fulfillment. 

We’re deeply apologetic for the additional inconvenience this has caused, but Mod Dommi spent well over an hour on the phone with a PayPal Supervisor to find a quicker way to handle this, and unfortunately there isn’t one.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and thank you again for your purchase!

Looks like Agent Agape has a team helping him track down Aria and Eros. This crew is the creme de la creme…Aria and Eros should be careful. The Canadian agent should also be careful to not end up on the wrong end of Agape’s rage, but that’s none of our business.

This preview features zine illustrations by @novanoah, @omtivi, @odinbytiye, @sleepyfortress, @rainlikestars, @pinytree, @wheniseelevimyheartgoesdokidoki, @ghostlybl, and @manishachanart. 

Now’s your only chance to help Agape and his team track down Aria and Eros. You Only Live Once: the Yuri!!! On Ice Spy zine is open for sales until November, 5th at our online storefront.

We’re down to the wire here at headquarters, and with the deadline looming overhead, I’m here presenting you with a mission dossier based on one of the visual files contained within our classified information--for sale at a price you might be able to afford.

The following has been declassified pursuant to clause 1143.b.ii of the Handbook of Activities Nefarious, Demonstrating Justice Over Bureaucratic Synergy:

Read more on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16512503, with a snippet behind the cut.

Viktor didn’t resent Christophe, alias Dr. Evil Assets, for the time they’d spent in cryosleep. He’d designed the technology, had been running experiments with mice that showed promising, consistent results, and had taken the leap of faith in his own multi-disciplinary genius that they’d survive to be woken in the future. Christophe believed it would be easier to navigate through the dark markets of the world without the loaned Canadian Intelligence Officer who tracked down their operations and setting them back year after year. Jackie-Joe Lebra, or something along those lines. His name never stuck in Viktor’s memory, just his hideous choice in cravats. It was unfortunate that the man had likewise been cryogenically frozen by the British Intelligence Agency so that when Christophe re-emerged, like a fantastically flamboyant, sexy butterfly, John-Jason Lawson crawled out of the mud after him like a pugnaciously persistent toad.

The Eros Bots were in system standby, each one sitting or sprawled on the lounge furniture. They’d been running through system updates the night before, accounting for why none of them were on patrol. Viktor tracked down a trojan one had downloaded when accessing pornographic material on the world wide web, then spent most the night eradicating the virus and tracking it back to its author and destroying their computer files. He’d lectured the Eros Bots on proper protocols with downloads and advertisements, then given them Christophe’s credit card and resolved to handle the charges like he did with the rest of Dr. Evil Assets’ finances.

Which was another point of contention. Sooner or later, Christophe was going to have to admit he needed to think in larger numbers in the present world. Millions weren’t the same after adjusting for inflation, and valuable information and technology traded on billions in the modern day and age.

“You look troubled.”

Viktor glanced over at the Eros Bot addressing him, noting it was the Alpha bot. Beta had been responsible for the trojan issue, and Alpha responsible for enforcing the protocol.

“Don’t tell me I’m getting wrinkles,” he said, offering Alpha a half-hearted smile. It faded as quickly as it came, Viktor’s gaze drawn back to his computer screen.

“Fine, I won’t.” Alpha smiled.
