IT'S HERE!!!! Holy Shuggazine! , featuring beautiful art and writing from over 40 contributors, is now available to download FOR FREE on Itch.io!

I can't thank everyone who worked on this project enough for bringing their absolute finest work to this zine to celebrate Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!'s 20th anniversary! All these years later, it's still the best fandom ever. We wanted this to be digital-first so we could release it right on the anniversary, but we are planning a physical release and will let you know when we have the details all worked out!

Tom Kenny gets a zine!

@pumpkinachai continues to help us get copies of the zine to show cast and crew and recently managed to present a copy of Tom Kenny! The con where this happened requested recordings not be posted publicly, so we don't have a video to share for this one, but he was very impressed by everyone's work! :D 3 Hyperforce members down, 3 to go! Thanks, Chai!

work has had me busy, but I should be back with the formless ref sheet scans soon!

in the meantime, I received a copy of the 20th anniversary zine today :)

PSA About Resale Scams

It has come to our attention that Holy Shuggazine! is being resold for a profit by scammers. These sellers scrape listings from Lulu and relist the items at a higher price on other websites such as eBay, then purchase the book in question when it is bought from them and ship it to the unsuspecting buyer for an easy profit.

As such, we'd like to remind everyone that we are ONLY selling the zine from our Lulu store located HERE and we are selling it non-profit, at at the same price it costs to print. Any other page selling the zine is a reseller bumping up the price on a non-profit fan project for personal gain and should be avoided. To clarify: This scam seems to be automatically scraping content from our sales platform as a whole. We're not specifically being targeted. we're between like 50 copies of various holy scripture on the eBay store we found which is kinda funny to me ngl

While we don't have legal standing to ask for the book to be taken down, as reselling books isn't a crime, we are reporting bot spam and other dubious parts of these scammers sales practices to their storefronts when possible and ask that anyone else who runs across one of these listings does the same. Thank you!

I had the amazing opportunity to meet Kari Wahlgren at a local anime convention in my area. And as one of the contributors of the @srmt-zine, I was able to gift her a copy in person and record her reaction! Needless to say, she LOVED it!

excuse my appearance, the line into the convention center was through a parking garage that was comparable to a smelting oven and effectively flattened my hair and made my makeup run from the sweat

[srmt-zine]

Thank you so much to @pumpkinachai for getting a copy of the zine to Kari Wahlgren, voice of Nova! So far, we've managed to distribute copies to Ciro, Greg, and Kari, and the zine team will continue its efforts to hopefully get a copy to every member of the main cast and beyond eventually!

[srmt-zine]

BIG NEWS, everyone! Ciro Nieli has been given a copy of the zine!

Ciro Nieli and Greg Cipes both received copies of the zine at Turtlecon this weekend, thanks to @chanceofcloud!

Getting the zine into the hands of the cast and crew was a big part of the reason the Shuggazine team put so much effort into making a lovely physical edition available, and I'm beyond excited to see it's really happening!!! 8D (Photo shared with Chance's and Ciro's permission. Otto plushie also pictured made by @sweetcircuits )

[srmt-zine]

We are excited to announce that the physical edition of Holy Shuggazine! is now available for purchase!

A few notes...

Questions about financial responsibility/profit were previously answered here, but feel free to send us an ask if there's any more!

The cover, tragically, does not have the title on the spine. This is not an error, it was just impossible to get it to print right

If you receive a copy of the zine with a printing error, please contact Lulu directly! We have done what we can on our end and they are quick to reply if there's an error on their end.

PRINT EDITION Update and Answers About Finances

Hello, everyone! Thank you SO MUCH for the warm reception of our zine! As of typing this, Holy Shuggazine! has been downloaded over 500 times, which is absolutely INSANE given the small size of our fandom community. Thank you so much!

I just wanted to give you all an update on the long-teased PRINT EDITION of the zine! The mod team is hard at working making this happen. We do not have an exact release date yet, but to give you a rough idea where we are in the process, we're getting ready to order test copies to see how it looks! So it won't be long now!

We expect the zine to cost about 25$ USD a copy, plus shipping.

But before the zine is ready to start having money thrown at it, we want to answer the inevitable questions about financial accountability, and the way we're doing this has made it really simple.

TL;DR Holy Shuggazine continues to be a non-profit zine, and no editors or contributors to the project are receiving any money from the print edition. The zine will be sold through a print-on-demand platform at-cost.

The way this works is that we publish the zine on a print-on-demand platform, in our case Lulu! Normally, when someone did this to make a profit, Lulu would take the money needed to print the zine and send the rest to the seller. But in our case, we just tell Lulu to only charge what they need to print the book. Lulu takes the money, sends you the book, and there's no finances for the zine team - or buyers - to worry about!

We are also planning to upload print resources to Itch! This means if you would rather use another printer for any reason (we know a couple of you even work at printing services!) you'll be able to do so! We've already seen some people printing their own copies for personal use and we are more than okay with this (please continue to show them to us! The zine team loves to see them!) Lulu will simply be another option available to everyone who lives in a country they service.

We hope this information has everyone confident and excited for the print edition of the zine! As always, feel free to shoot us an ask if there's any questions.
