evansteph replied to your photo: Hello everyone! Huuuuuge update time, this will be...
Why am i not surprised that destiel had to be involved in this project SOMEHOW
Don’t worry, the enamel pin isn’t actually officially part of the project! But we decided that instead of selling it for our own profit we would add it to the donation amount.
Hello everyone! Huuuuuge update time, this will be an image heavy post, so we’ve decided to put it under a cut so we don’t overwhelm your dashboards. This update contains the following:
So if you’re interested in any of those things please step right up and click the cut! 🐝💙
Hello guys! Sorry about the delay on updates, a few things came up that were out of our control which have now been resolved, and we’re very excited to be back and monitoring this project full time again.
We hope everyone had a fantastic time during the holidays and have had a good 2019 so far - unfortunately, our manufacturers were on vacation for longer than we planned so we had a significant delay, but they’re back and have been doing a fantastic job. Here’s a quick rundown on what has happened #production wise:
Because of the production delay there are some major changes in our schedule/calendar, so please look through it if you have any questions about what our new goals are.
Additionally, we have decided to add a new vinyl sticker to all physical orders as an apology for such, these will not come from zine profits, but are simply “a thank you for being patient” donation from the mods. Here’s a preview:
A few other important things:
And that’s all (?)! If we missed anything else we apologize, and will be sure to give you all another update early next week. If you sent us a message and have not received an answer please expect one this weekend, but feel free to send it again if you feel like we missed it.
Thank you all again for your patience and support! 💙 We’re excited for all of you to have this in your hands.
PRODUCTION UPDATES
We have received the enamel pins, buttons, stickers, and pencil pouches (photos can be found in our #production tag) as well as all the shipping materials we’ll need! Postcards are on their way, all that’s left is the zine itself and the stretch goal prints (we had to do some corrections with the gold foil print to make sure everything looks perfect).
Thanks to the holidays, production has significantly slowed down due to the amount of work our manufacturers have on them - but, it’s well on their way! And regardless of the delay we still expect to be able to have everything packed by the end of the month, we already have all of the small items from the bundles packed and ready to smoothen the process once we have all the items.
All nice and safe. Any more updates will be posted as soon as we get them!
ADDRESS CHANGES
We’ve gotten a lot of requests for address changes lately and we’ve been going through them one by one - but please, if you don’t get a reply from us that your address has been updated in the next 24 hours please send or resend us an email with the address title “Address Change: [ORDER NUMBER]”.

TUMBLR CHAOS
We’ve received a few asks worried about our status regarding the Tumblr overhaul that’s currently happening, for now, we’re fine! Our blog doesn’t include any sort of NSFW nor has it been flagged unnecessarily.
Just in case though, remember you can follow us on Twitter just in case.

Good luck, everyone!
Hello! Sorry for interruption, but I have a question regarding the zine which has sold out already. Do you plan to put a pdf-version on sale soon? Looking forward to your answer!
Hello! There has always been a PDF version for sale, it ended on December 1st! However, we do plan to bring it back for the January leftover sale.
Will you have any extras? I just found this and I cannot believe I missed it. ;o;
We’ll be having a leftover sale of most items in January when everyone has already received their orders! It’s limited thought, so make sure you keep an eye out.
Hello, when do you think you will get the books?
As stated before our goal is mid-December! Hopefully earlier.
Regarding the question of the last anon, if they want to cancel but someone else want to take it, would it be possible? Or it was sent already?
Orders have not been ship, considering prints and the books themselves are in early production still and we have not received them.
But in any case this would have to be a process done privately between the person who wants to cancel and you! And right after it’s settled, send us an email to make the address change before shipment (if the shipping turns out to be more then we will have to invoice you for the difference).
Hi, I was just wondering if it’s too late to cancel an order? I totally understand if it is, thanks!
Hello! Unfortunately everything was already submitted into production so cancellations cannot be made.
Quick reminder that the PDF will remain up for pre-order until December 1st and will be sent out at the end of the year along with physical pre-orders!

We received far too many requests to hold off any longer, so for the final 10 day stretch we’ve decided to open PayPal as a payment option. If you’ve been unable to purchase the zine up until this point because you don’t have access to a credit card, now’s your chance!
Thank you all so much for your interest!
is there maybe like an exact date yet as to when the Book Zine will be shipped?
Not yet! Like we’ve stated before this all depends on our manufacturers, everything has been submitted and processed (we have received most of the items already and have been posting photos of such), and will be shipped out as soon as we receive them and get them packed. This could be anytime in December.
If you ever end up doing another fanzine how do you get the artists for the fanzine? Would it be possible to participate?
Hello! We choose contributors through an application process, we can’t always choose everyone of course, but we always encourage everyone to give it a shot. We ended up doubling our number of chosen applicants for this one.
That being said, any future projects by this team will be announced and sometimes hosted through @cryptidzines (Twitter) - right now we have both a Gabriel (SPN) and Venom zine running as well, so check that out!
Production update! Our pouches are in and they look fantastic, we’re hoping to get samples for both the prints and the physical zine next week - so look out for that.
If you’ve messaged us for an address change in your order we will be going through the process of replying once we can confirm that the change has been made. Sorry for the delay, we’ve been quiet busy, but rest assure everyone will receive a confirmation.
do you guys have an estimate on when the zines will be shipped?
Early-mid December is the estimate, anything relating to dates can be checked in our schedule document.
Weird question but when you guys ship out the books, will you be adding a receipt with prices on it? And if you are, would it be possible to request that you don’t add it to mine if I gave you my order number?
There will not be a receipt with the price of the zine in the package! So no need to worry about that.
Hey I was just wondering, after the pre-orders will there be any more for sale?? Im kinda new to this kinda thing.
There will be a very limited amount of items up in January from whatever is leftover from the pre-order, but after that’s all gone that will be it for this zine.
Wait, what was the last stretch goal? I need to know ;4;
We’ll be revealing it in December, so look out for that! You’ll be able to buy it in the leftover sale in January.
