FAQ

Is this project for-profit, charity, or a split of both?

This project will be 50/50 for charity and for profit! The charity we will be supporting will be announced at a later date.

What is the theme of the zine? Will the zine include pre-time skip, post-time skip, or AU content?

The zine will be Atsumu-centric with the theme of Atsumu’s growth throughout the years. Pre-time skip and post-time skip canonverse content is welcome. AU’s are also welcome with open arms.

What is the rating of the zine?

The zine will be rated PG-13 or GEN, which means all content will be SFW.

Will ships be allowed?

Ships will not be allowed, and all relationships portrayed in the zine will be depicted as platonic.

How will contributors be compensated?

All contributors will receive a physical and digital zine and merch bundle regardless of the project’s budget, along with an even split of any profits made after the profit has been split in half for charity. Shipping will also be covered if our budget permits it.

If the project does not make enough profit, we may ask contributors to cover the price of shipping for their bundle and stretch goals we meet only. Shipping will be approximately $9-$14 (USD) each and stretch goals will be at manufacturing cost.

NOTE RE MINORS: since we cannot send compensation via paypal to minors, you will need to have a parent or guardian contact us directly so they can receive any profit on your behalf, or alternatively you can opt to have your profit cut added to the charity pool.

How much will the zine cost?

These are some estimations we’ve made from our initial calculations (USD):

Digital Zine - $15
Physical Zine - $25
Physical Merch - $25-$40

What are the expectations of contributors?

Artists will contribute 2 pages of art total, either 2 single-page pieces or 1 piece covering 2 pages.

Mod Claire would like to point out how good looking Atsumu is, thank you. Yeah, it sucks that he's a jerk but can’t have everyone good, gotta have a dash of ego and pride somewhere you know?

⭐International shipping for full zine bundles costs more due to the weight. Unfortunately, this much Atsumu love doesn't come lightly :u:

Can you combine orders with friends without ordering through a group order manager (GOM)?

Yes, you can! There is a flat rate combined shipping set up Big Cartel store to anywhere in the world. You can also run a group order of your own if you'd like. See the "Group Orders (GO's)" section of this site for more info!

If I order with a friend or in a group order(GO), will I still get all eligible stretch goals?

Yes you will! Each bundle within a GO will come with all eligible, unlocked stretch goals.

If I preorder during the 24 opening sale or earlier in pre-orders, will I miss the chance of other perks you might or might not announce during preorders?

No, ordering early will not impact your eligibility for perks we... might or might not have planned. |ω`)

Will you be running another sale during pre-orders?

No.
