If you missed your chance to pre-order, you'll still have the opportunity to nab some goods during our leftover sales, estimated to open later this Summer!

Physical pre-orders are still being shipped in batches, so physical buyers should keep an eye on their emails for tracking info. In a few months, we'll have leftover sales for physical merch, and then all profits will be donated to CFG!

We will begin shipping bundles out in as little as two weeks from now, which makes this the last call for address changes!! Physical buyers can check their email for more details. Digital bundles will be sent out to all buyers in around 2 weeks as well!

We've made the last minute (but long-thought-out) decision to switch our printing service from Mixam to QinPrinting (an international service) due to concerns brought up about Mixam and the consistency of its quality for zine orders. Switching to an international printing service will add a bit more to shipping time, but the switch still keeps us in a similar cost range to Mixam and the mods ultimately decided it's worth it to help ensure we don't run into any unpredictable or expensive issues! The good news is the zine is just about ready for test printing, and we'll have received all our remaining merch by the time we have the zines printed, so we think late fall or early winter is a reliable ETA for when shipping will begin. We hope you look forward to it!!

We sincerely apologize for the delays and lack of updates. Most of it is from extenuating personal circumstances on the mod team and holdups regarding manus. Most of our merch has been ordered! We're still working out the rest and we hope to update again soon. We want to emphasize that we plan to make more frequent updates no matter what from here on! Our desire to try and have more details ready first has led to time slipping away. We appreciate everyone's patience and support as always! 💖💚🖤🤍

Sorry for a bit of silence, but the mods have been getting things together and ordering our supplies! In the meantime, here's a spotlight for one of our merch artists: Cat (@junepeiyuri on Twitter)! They made some of our stickers, and we're honored to be the first zine they've worked on 💚
