The preorder will take place on Gumroad starting April 10th and run through May 1st and the zine will be delivered on May 2nd.

The zine will have a base cost of $7, but you will have the option to donate more than $7 if you want to give a little extra towards charity. If you need help with this we will provide it during preorders.

All profits will be going to The Trevor Project, which is our chosen charity based on our initial interest check.

We will also be selling Witching Hour: Emerging Artists Zine Volume I in addition to Yours Truly so you’ll have a chance to nab Volume 1 as well if you  missed it the first time around! Witching Hour will be available for its original price of $10. Once again you’ll have the option to donate more than $10 and all proceeds made from Witching Hour will go towards Pencils of Promise, which is the original charity Witching Hour was for.

Thanks so much to everyone for your support so far! We are so excited about this zine and we hope you are too! We’ve made something beautiful and can’t wait to share it.

“I’ll try not to spoil the Stolen Century for folks, but I recently re-listened to the Balance arc from TAZ and I love the family that evolved out of the seven crew members over a 100 year journey. Since all the characters are played by a real family, there’s a lot of honesty put into these characters and their relationships and it’s fun to listen to.” —Dana
