💟WE HAVE PHOTOS!💟

We're also sending out some packages today! Will yours be among them? 🥳

(Usual legalese of "product may appear different than represented in photos, and the photos were taken in different lightings and edited to make them pop.")

UPDATE!!

THE BOOK. IS A-GO.

After many unexpected formatting issues and discussions with the printer, we've finally sent off the files to print!!!

Estimated ship date is Aug 17 and expected arrival date is August 20, though we've already started to make preparations to send out the merch-only orders!

Because we want hyperlinks to be active and clickable in the PDF, it'll be about a few hours before those who ordered the PDF in addition or only will get it in their inboxes.

Ultimately, however, we're done! The big work is over!

We'll be sending out the orders carefully with the help of @ze-in-zines, whose preparations are looking stellar. We'll keep you updated on minor things along the way~

Once again, we do apologize for any immense delays.

[ririkazine]

Hello, all! Sorry for the radio silence -- we wish we had some better updates for you, but uh, we don't! We recognize that there has been a delay and we hope to fix it soon, with more info forthcoming. 

Sorry we're taking longer than we thought :’(

One of our customers unboxed the fanzine! They also made a post about it on Instagram, which we can't link because then Tumblr will hide this post. But if you look for mrshoujo, it should be the post with the fanzine photo! 

However rest assured that @jadinerhine apologizes profusely for being the name mistake in her article and trust us, she wants to be buried under the earth now.

Quick update!

While we get photos in, we wanted to announce that we've started shipping! iOur rock steady fulfillment mod @ze-in-zines is sending out the orders as so:

Merch only

Zine book only

Flat orders

Full orders (those who ordered everything!)

Our international customers will be sent out along with domestic, and for the former, we do remind you that due to Covid 19, your packages may take a while to arrive. But oh, will they arrive looking so pretty thanks to @ze-in-zines 's touch!

Since we took orders long before the UK and the EU implemented their new customs and tax laws, we're not sure if our packages will end up costing you extra. We hope not! But we are here to help if something happens and we'll try our best to navigate this confusing issue together!

On that note, everyone who ordered digital items should have received them soon! Please let us know if you haven't!

BOOK/PDF UPDATE!

Not much to say, other than an apology on it taking so long to get the PDF out to those who paid for it and the book to print! We've had to format a lot of it and wanted to make sure it's the best-looking and -readable product we want it to be!

If you'll remember, we mentioned that the PDF has been stalled in sending out (and in turn, book printing) because of formatting issues. There are some *delicious* fics and articles that required some good ol' proper formatting and cooperation!

We wanted to make sure the product reflected the quality of said texts. As such, being the hefty item it is, we have just passed the first general proofread and quality check stage (done within contributors and mods.)

Now we will go to the second one, just to be sure, once edits are done. The edits are minimal but will take some time because it still involves the formatting. We appreciate your understanding and patience!! <3

UPDATE! Read if you wanted digital items only

I have no bloody idea why BigCartel works like this but apparently it doesn't not charge automatically if you were trying to buy digital only items. First time I've heard a shop service not knowing that you shouldn't be charged for things that don't need to be shipped but okay.png

I've fixed it so that if you wanted the digital merch or pdf only, you can now select the free shipping option so there are no extra charges. So if you wanted the digital only option of the zine with or without digital merch, you can now BUY!! :D :D :D :D :D

Check it out by clicking the source link under this post or copy/pasting this link into the address bar, deleting the spaces: ririkazine . bigcartel . com

(Contributors posts will return, in a batch set likely, when tumblr starts cooperating with uploading images, btw. In case you were wondering why they haven’t been posted here recently ;_; )

Happy 25th anniversary!

Today, July 7th, is the day Ririka SOS aired...our original plans, as you may know, were to release the zine today! And while that didn’t pan out, we’re really happy to see fans for Ririka exist -- and our zine will still move forward, even if later! More updates coming soon!

On that note...

Happy Birthday, Ririka!
