Pledge Manager launched! + Books and Leftovers 📚📦

In this update: 

Pledge Manager has launched!

Notes on international shipping.

Toronto pick-up event on April 18th! RSVP here.

Pictures of the books! And leftovers available.

The Pledge Manager has finally launched! 🎉 In your email, you should have received a form asking for your shipping and payment information, which will be the final stage before the zine is sent your way! If you purchased a digital anthology, your E-Book will be available to download once you've filled in the Pledge Manager. Thank you all for your patient support of Very Sincerely Yours, we're so excited to finally bring the zine into your hands!

Note for backers outside the US and Canada: Our shipping partner--ChitChats--provides detailed tracking on all orders, however they do not offer a return service for locations outside of the US or Canada. Meaning, if your package is somehow unable to be delivered to you, it will unfortunately be disposed of. ChitChats does offer insurance on shipping, so in this (very rare) case, you may be able to purchase another copy of your rewards free of an additional shipping charge. Should anything of the kind happen, please contact us ASAP!

For backers in Toronto/GTA, a pick-up event is being held on Saturday, April 18th at 2pm, at the Sherlock Holmes Walk behind the Toronto Reference Library! If you are able to attend, please RSVP here AND fill in the Pledge Manager, and we'll reimburse you for the cost of shipping once you've picked up your anthology. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!🕵️💕

After a long journey, our books came in this Wednesday, and they look incredible! The gold foil, UV spots, and page printing all came out superb, and we thank Friesens for their fantastic work in manufacturing our books! We'll have a few up-charged extra books available to purchase through our Pledge Manager, and then afterwards we'll sell our remaining leftovers online (platform TBD). Other leftover items will also be available to add on, such as bookmarks, sticker sheets, and sticker packs!

Okay, that's all for now! Please try to fill in the Pledge Manager ASAP to receive your rewards. If you anticipate needing longer than April to confirm your address, please contact us and we will arrange something!

Very sincerely yours,

@haedraulics + @inevitablies

Sketch commissions open!

See pricing and details here: soussune.carrd.co

I will be donating all proceeds to Perwakos, an Indonesian shelter for trans women (the oldest in the country!). It's in danger of closing down due to rising costs. you can read more about them here.

I can provide a proof of donation upon request! The shelter has been a pillar for the local trans community, and it's so important that it can keep going. Due to difference in currency value, international commissions like this also help a LOT. If you've enjoyed my art in the past, do consider commissioning or sharing!

For now, i'm opening 5 slots. Feel free to email or DM me if you have any questions!

Just a quick little update: we're currently in the throes of pre-packing our flat merchandise items together (postcards, sticker sheets, stickers)! The items are packaged together in custom designed envelopes and tissue paper, and sealed with a cute little bee-themed wax seal sticker. 🐝 Many thanks to my kind friends who've lent me a hand with this process, we're hoping to get everything ready for when the books finally arrive--more on that later.

As well, our final piece of physical merchandise has arrived! The wooden hinged charms are 2 x 1 inches and came out so well, they're like a little portable piece of Baker Street! (If you didn't order a charm but would like one, we will have leftovers available for purchase at the end of our shipping campaign!)

Since our last update, we've approved a soft content proof of our physical books, which are finally, officially in production! Our printer has informed me that the books should be delivered by March 27th, which pushes back our timeline estimates by about a month. Therefore, our current schedule is:

Shipping information form will release late March.

Merchandise-only orders will ship out early April.

Orders with books will ship out mid-to-late April.

Zine PDFs will be emailed late April.

I'm so sorry that it will be a bit longer before everyone can get their hands on the anthology! We're doing our best to prepare everything ahead of time, however, so that when the books arrive we can cut down on packing time as much as possible. 

Thank you all for your patience, and as always, be sure to contact us anytime if you have any questions or concerns! 🐝💝

happy birthday to @yunuen!! 💜 i've been meaning to do a fanart of the line is covered in jellyfish (an amazing fic that everyone should and probably has read at this point, but there's the link) and i finally have this, which i started when she tweeted about viktor being a face holder (tm). lifealtering.

Thank you all for your patience, we're happy to share that 80% of our merchandise items have now arrived in full! This means that we're ready to begin the early stages of packing orders, so that we're ready for when our books finally arrive as well! 📚

More production updates under the cut:

We've also received sample prints of our tote-bags, and they came out well! We're adjusting the design slightly for the final order, which is due to arrive in a few more weeks. We're still waiting on our hinged charms and bookplates, which should arrive by March.

Equally important but not pictured, we've also received most of our packaging materials (ie. bubble mailers, plastic bags, stickers)! Packing and shipping has always been the most enjoyable aspect of publishing for me [Mod Minh], and I'm proud of the custom packaging that we've ordered to complement the zine.

As for the actual book; we're still ironing out some final details with the printing house! Our physical proofs should arrive in February, and following their approval we can proceed with final production. The moment a physical proof arrives, we'll be sure to share it with you all! 

Our current timeline estimates are:

Shipping information form will release late February.

Merchandise-only orders will ship out early March.

Orders with books will ship out mid-to-late March.

Zine PDFs will be emailed late March.

Leftover sales will open early April.

Should anything change, we'll update you ASAP! Thank you to all our backers for your patience, we hope everyone is having a good start to their 2026 (and a happy lunar new year soon)! 💝

My piece for "Conclave: Jelajah Nusantara", a Conclave fanzine of the film's characters visiting Indonesia! All proceeds went to Perwakos, a local trans shelter. This is super indulgent but had a lot of fun hahaha.

Just for fun and to be on theme, imagine them playing this.

You can see more about it on the other app!
