AH
AAAAAAH

I'm so happy about this
It's been over a year since I drew the piece, and communication with the people working on it was nonexistent. They said It'd ship out last year in may, then never responded until I think november? Then never told us what was going on and went silent again. so I honestly gave up.
Now I wanna hit up all zines--if only I had the time to fully commit to these things! I love sharing a space with other artists like this <33

Very nice work! Sucks it took that long to get the finished product but I'm glad you're so happy about the results

@grost:
Yeah, I really don't mind the wait since production can take a while anyways. I just wish there was more communication? Like a biweekly or monthly update on what's the happs. But its alright, just something to consider if I ever make my own. Which I kind of want to in the future :vanora_xd:
I love

That's very cool! Good job! I've heard a lot get bogged down in drama and stuff so I'm glad this one eventually worked out!

@priestess of pie:
Ohh really? This one didn't have any drama (at least none publicly). Just occasionally someone (me) asking where things were at with it.

I do really wish there was more communication cause I ended up missing my chance to order an extra copy for my sister. But its a non-issue really :vanora_xd: Im pretty passive about these sorta things

@kda drew:
Zines are like miniature magazines, sort of? They're made by anybody who just wants to gather a theme and put it into a little booklet. I usually search zines on twitter and see if there are any looking for artists, then I sign up if I'm interested!
They are usually focused on a fandom or a specific thing that they request for you to draw.

Sometimes zines sell for profit, but a lot of them sell for charity! I actually want to try getting into this zine if they start it!

@pachi:
SAME
and now other people are gonna have my art in their hands and its an odd but nice feeling. All the artists that I spoke to in the zine sounded really lovely and excited too <33

    @Jolly: yessss
    all the ones i've been in have been fairly small-scale so one day i wanna experience a large-scale one |D
    the ones that sell hundreds copies are so impressive

@pachi:
That would be so cool to be a part of! I'd probably start peeling my eyes open for those once I finish with college and have more time to do these kinds of projects. Until then, I might do one more, then hold off xD

@pachi:
Right, exactly. I only sign up as an artist so its also the time it takes to draw the things. I have to wait for my acceptance, then wait for my theme to be delivered so I can start, and hope that it all falls into my schedule just right.
My life usually changes drastically between months for some reason, so I've already had to turn one down that accepted me cause when I signed up, I had SO MUCH downtime. But when I got accepted, I was busy moving across city suddenly xD

    @Jolly: zine timelines are so weird for me personally since it stretches over months, i'd rather just hurry and get the full piece done asap so i don't have to wait haha

Saaaame, but I get it. But 100% same xD
I would love to make my own zine, but I don't have the money to invest right now, nor the following to pay it off with.

@pachi:
Ohh thats awesome! Sometimes smaller communities are more fun if you get along with most of them. But also hard to keep up with since I get intimidated by cliques usually. xD
I think I come off weird online cause I forget how to blend in with others

ALSO what if there was a voltra zine, where if there are any extra costs, it could go towards a donation to the site? O:
That'd be soooo fun if we had enough people to pitch in, and money to gamble

    @Jolly: yeahhh
    honestly i don't interact too much with the en side of the fandom save for a few friends... i'm too hermit haha;;; i also interact with the jp and chn sides of the fandom too, but in our own ship circle so that's not as bad

@q t e a p o n:
Thank you! I'm still stoked about it ;v;
Honestly, it could've been worse! I don't really mind waiting as long as I have, so I'd definitely pursue zines all the same <3
when there's time for it anyway.

@pachi:
Haha thats pretty cool though! The last time I tried to fit in with a particular group, I ended up pissing them off by accident.. and then I was like forever shunned and ignored since. They probably forgot who I am by now but I wont bother lmaoo
