How are things going on your end? for the zine and in general. its been a while since we've heard from you! hope everythings allright and you had happy holidays!

I’M SO SORRY TO HAVE BEEN MIA... between renovations and holidays I’d almost completely forgotten about this project until this ask showed up. ;_;

Really, seriously, I apologize for the wait!! I will do what I can to get a pdf ready to go very soon. If you’re eager to share your work, please feel free - and if you tag me in it I’ll reblog it here for posterity. :3

Once again i’m truly sorry for literally forgetting ... real life just super got into the way in the worst way possible. All is good though, I’m back home, back to work, and holidays are winding down, so plenty of time to assemble everything for you guys. <3 YOU ALL DID AN EXCELLENT JOB, BY THE WAY.

FINAL DEADLINE: November 20th!!!

I’m so sorry for hardly being around; that living situation thing ended up way worse than expected and getting online has been DIFFICULT to say the least. However I’m at a pretty okay spot now and I’ll be around much more, so if anybody has any more questions, suggestions, ideas, or submissions, I’m 100% open to ideas. Please feel free to contact me for anything!! <3

Apologies again for delays in responses, but things are finally coming up on my end. You folks rock and thanks so much for your patience. <3 I can’t wait to share the final product with you all!!

WE HAVE SPOKEN: Two more weeks of Sonic Adventure 2 fan art!!!

HEY FRIENDS, due to circumstances out of my control, I’m going to be without a PC for a bit, and even though I’m able to make this post, the laptop I’m using is not really strong enough to put together a pdf without choking miserably the entire time and that’s just no fun…

ANYWAY: Entries are reopening for another two weeks! If you missed your chance or didn’t have enough free time back then, perhaps September is treating you better - please feel free to submit a piece!!

The consensus was unanimous; everybody’s all for a bigger, better SA2 zine, and since we have all this free time, let’s make this even better! :D

All of the previous guidelines still apply, save for the due date, of course. ;) I’ll again be very flexible about deadline extensions as this “two weeks” is also very nebulous for me. And, best of all, this isn’t going to be a side project - it’s all going into the same zine, together! This extra window is just to make something good come out of my current inability to put the final zine together - might as well use that time for some good, right? :D

so, tl;dr:

MAKE SOME MORE SUPERCOOL BADASS SONIC ADVENTURE 2 FAN ART TO MAKE A BIGGER AND BETTER ZINE THAN IT WAS GONNA BE <3

[thisistheultimatezine]

I suppose I should specify just how long these two weeks are: due to the same circumstances, we’re looking at up to a month+ of displacement, SO! HOW ABOUT UNTIL MID-OCTOBER AS A DUE DATE? October 15th okay with you folks? :3

I totally hope things get better soon for you! 😥👏 sending love & luck

Aww, thank you so much! <33

All things considered, it could be much worse, the only bummer now is the temporary displacement. My house is gonna come back bigger and stronger than before, so that’s pretty exciting. And, nothing super important was damaged or destroyed, which was incredibly lucky. c:

WHOOPS I thought I ticked the option to let people answer that question, so here’s this post specifically:

would you folks be cool with me reopening submissions for a two-week period?

[thisistheultimatezine]

Some bad news, friends! :(

The roof at my house has been under repair for quite some time, but unfortunately the roofers messed up somehow and due to the intense rainstorm we had over the last two nights, my room is basically destroyed. Nothing important was damaged, but the house’s wiring is pretty messed up - leaving my PC sort of in stasis until further notice. I’m writing this to you on my laptop, which is functional (barely), and putting together any sort of high-quality art project is going to be impossible.

I’m really sorry to have to do this to you all!

But, on the bright side: how do you feel about temporarily reopening submissions to those who missed out on this round? Since we’re waiting on my house to get repaired (or at least until I can find a new place to set up shop), there’s probably a week or two we can utilize for more art of all kinds. :D

Whatcha think? Reopen submissions for a brief two-week window?

(ps, it’s probably worth mentioning that we’ve hit 200 followers on this blog!! <3)

YOU’RE NOT FORGOTTEN <3

Hey guys, gals, and everybody inbetween! I’m not letting this die, don’t worry. There’s still a small handful of people who requested extensions, but the pdf is slowly coming together on my end. Just gotta fill in the gaps and everything now. :3

Once again, I am blown away by how amazing this has all turned out. The hard work and love that’s gone into every piece has been incredible. YOU’RE ALL THE BEST. <333

Anyways, for a final final final release date, I’m hoping mid-September. Once I get in touch with a few more people I’ll be able to get a concrete date again. Sorry for missing the first intended deadline! Real life is a real hindrance to fun online projects. </3

Sonic returns to the remains of Prison Island after the events of Sonic Adventure 2.

now that i feel better, here’s a short thing i wrote! also submitted this earlier to thisistheultimatezine

[thisistheultimatezine]

UPDATE:

Still putting the final pdf together, and still waiting on a few more pieces from a few more people, but this project is still far from forgotten! <3

I hope to have everything done and together by the 27th of this month at the latest. (If you’ve contacted me for a deadline extension, this is going to be the hard limit to be included in the pdf!! If you haven’t contacted me previously, I do apologize, but there will be a next time, so don’t worry!)

And once again, I wanna thank each and every one of you for your support and positivity. YOU’RE ALL THE BEST. <3

[thisistheultimatezine]

Hi, do you know if they will be any more projects like this in the future? I would have loved to take part if I had known about this.

Heya!

I’d honestly love to organize another sometime! There’s several ideas I’m sitting on, perhaps in another month or so (once the finished zine is put together) I’ll see if there’s any interest. Thank you, as well!

Sorry you missed this first one. :( I’ve missed deadlines for projects like this by hours, so I understand. I super appreciate the support though. <3
