Eventide: A Hance Zine

Okay so there's been radio silence here for way too long. And, as I sit here sick as a dog yet again, it's time I said something publically instead of just in email replies.

The long and short is that zine's production cost with the printers we'd intended wound up coming in at roughly three times the quotes the cost figures my then-co-mod put together were based on and while I was scrambling to try to find new, cheaper printers that we could afford, my life has entirely exploded and disintegrated. My family's income-earning apartment flooded & was trashed; I broke up with my fiancée; my emotional support animal died suddenly of a rare illness; I had major surgery; government programs we depended on to get by fell through or ran out of funding or just dissolved; five years after a hurricane we still don't have our settlement to fix our house because even though the courts settled between us and the insurance company now the lawyer is arguing with the mortgage company now and refuses to release the $198,000 check; and to top it all off, I might very likely be homeless within a month. I've debated checking myself in for a psych stay a few times but there's just too much to be done at any given moment to afford that 'time off' to fix my mental health so I've been limping by at maybe 20% of capacity. I have a cognitive testing evaluation scheduled through my psychiatrist but they're so backed up with the one who takes my insurance that it's not until June.

I'll be getting everything finished & out as soon as I have a stable living situation or even just one that I can expect to last longer than 2 weeks so I can have the zines sent to me because I finally found a company we can sort of afford. Extras and bundles are all assembled and sorted and waiting for their zines.

I've been meaning to post updates for a few weeks but I have severe social anxiety which is why the other mod was handling social media until she had her own life crisis and stepped down which left me to handle this zine entirely by myself. Honestly for most of January I slept for 40 hours out of any given 48 because everything is just... a lot.

Hey all!

We’re happy to announce that all digital zines have been distributed! If you have ordered a zine, you should have received an email earlier today! Please email [email protected] if you have not received this email.

Due to the delay we had in the last few days with a sudden bout of illness, we’re aiming to get all zines shipped by October 30th to make sure nothing is missed in the orders themselves. You’ll also find this information in the emails we just sent out. Again, if your shipping address has changed since your order and you have NOT notified us yet, please email [email protected] or contact us through twitter, tumblr, or tictail. All domestic (US-based) orders will include a USPS tracking number.

We’re also including a few bonus items as our thanks for your patience because of our delays:

All orders that include the digital PDF of Eventide have received an additional exclusive fic with their digital distributions.

All non-bundle orders that include a physical copy of Eventide will be receiving our exclusive bookmark.

All bundle orders will be receiving two 4x6 miniprints of works featured in the zine.

Hey all!

We finally have an update for you. We've been working behind the scenes to get everything done. It's been so busy that we occasionally forgot to update all of our social media over time so here we are.

Due to the delays because of some errors on our part and unfortunate circumstances that have hindered production, we haven't been able to get the zine out as early as predicted and it has been a process making sure everything comes together.

However, we are happy to announce that digital distribution will be happening in the next couple of days. The zine is ready, the emails are ready to go, and we’re currently cross-checking our mailing lists and shipping addresses to ensure everyone’s getting what they’re meant to be getting.

By Monday (Oct 9), we aim to have all digital product emails sent out. If you have ordered a digital product and have not received an email by Tuesday morning, please email [email protected] .

Packaging, labeling, and preparing physical packages for shipment will be starting on Monday. We are aiming to have all orders shipped by October 20th. If your shipping address has changed since your order and you have NOT notified us yet, please email [email protected] or contact us through twitter, tumblr, or tictail. All domestic (US-based) orders will include a USPS tracking number.

Due to the delay in the production and distribution, we're also including a few bonus items as our thanks for your patience:

All orders that include the digital PDF of Eventide will be receiving an additional exclusive fic with their digital distributions.

All non-bundle orders that include a physical copy of Eventide will be receiving our exclusive bookmark.

All bundle orders will be receiving two 4x6 miniprints of works featured in the zine.

We felt it’s time we give you all an update. Unfortunately the last month has been a difficult one for both admins. We’ve had a number of troubles we weren’t expecting including technical difficulties, bouts of mental illness, publishing delays, and work complications that have sapped the time and energy from both admin. So we’d like to apologise for the dates that we’ve announced and missed. We know many people are waiting for this zine and we are doing the best that we can through our difficult times to get them to you.

For those of you who ordered the digital copy, you are our first priority. We’re aiming to have this out to you within a day or two. Computers permitting.

For those of you who have ordered the physical zine, we’ll get this out once we’ve finalised packing.

In light of the AMAZING response & interest we've gotten, Eventide hance zine preorders will now close on 06/21!

We’re excited to announce that preorders for Eventide: An Unofficial Hance Fanzine are open now through June 1st!

Preorder here: http://interdictedink.tictail.com/

Featuring work from 20 artists and 9 writers, Eventide brings you over 75 pages of hance content to fluff up your feels and tug at your heartstrings! We ask you, is any other ship as pure, as tender? We certainly don’t think so! So join us in celebrating Hunk, Lance, and the relationship between them! 

Additionally, 50% of the proceeds from sales (after costs) will be going to the True Colors Fund, an organization working to end homelessness among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth!
