Where We Start From: The Limerence Zine

@limerencezine / limerencezine.tumblr.com

Where We Start From: The Limerence Zine is an illustrated print zine of the Kacchako fic 'Limerence' by KarmaHope. The fic will be illustrated by a handful of artists.
Current Status: CREATION PERIOD
What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

Will th zine also feature the direct sequel?

Hello!

The zine will likely not feature the direct sequel, in the interest of keeping the word count, page length, and cost down. I also hope to release the zine before finishing the sequel!!

Covid has really thrown a wrench in our plans, but we’re still working on layouts and hope to get it to you without too much more delay.

Thank you for your support!

Hey, all! Just a quick update:

We originally hoped to have pre-orders open this month, but I (Karma) severely overestimated the amount of time I would even have to myself while I was home with my parents this past month, let alone time to dedicate to this project.

At this point, we very nearly have all the pieces together. I'm making final edits on the fic itself. As soon as I'm settled in my new apartment, I'm going to finally throw myself into completing this thing.

We're looking at pre-orders opening probably in September, maybe October. We'll make an announcement as soon as we know for certain.

It's been a crazy year, that's for sure. Thank you for all your support, patience, and trust as we work toward making this vision a reality!

Hey, hey! Do you have a set date for pre-orders yet? I'd love to buy the zine but I gotta make my budget for the month u.u'9

Hey! Glad to hear it!

Unfortunately, when I (Karma) crafted the last schedule, I drastically overestimated the amount of time I’d get to myself to work on things while I was at my parents’ house from mid-july to late August. As such, there’s still some work I need to do on my end.

Right now, we’re probably looking at pre-orders sometime in September at the earliest, possibly October. I know this project has dragged on far longer than we anticipated, but this has been a crazy year, and we’d rather take our time and make sure it’s done right.

We’ll absolutely make an announcement as soon as we have something solid. Thank you so much for your patience!

I just found out about this zine and I'm really excited!! I've also been reading the fic and it's absolutely lovely. Do you know how many pages the final zine will have and how much it'll cost? Will you have international shipping?

Hello! I apologize for the delayed response.

We still have layout work to do, so I can’t give you a definite answer yet. We estimate it will be around 200 pages, and a print copy will probably cost $20-25, which I believe is standard for most zines.

I will be shipping zines out myself, so international shipping is likely possible, but it will be expensive. International shipping (depending on the country) is also about $22 right now.

Fortunately, we will also be offering a PDF copy for cheaper (and without shipping!) so you can always go that route if the shipping cost is too hefty for you.

Thank you so much for your interest and enthusiasm!

Hello! How did the last check-in go? Will we know who the contributors are?

Hello! The last check-in went well, thanks for asking. Also, yes! We just released the contributor list here 😁

Hello! Will we get a contributor list?

Hello! Sorry for the long delay; we'll be making an official announcement shortly. Basically, this past semester was rough for the entire team, so we ended up pushing the entire project back.

That said. Yes, we will (finally) be posting a contributor list soon!

Thank you for your patience.

- Mod Karma

All emails have been sent!

A huge thank you to everyone who applied. It was really hard to make selections when we really wanted to have everyone on the team.

We also want to thank everyone who has supported this project so far! We wouldn't be at this point if it weren't for you. We can’t wait to see the final result!

hello ! may i know what time the acceptance/rejection emails are going to be sent out? it's almost 11/11 where i live and i cant stop wondering when they'll go out hehe

Emails will most likely be sent out in the evening EST! Real life has taken up most of my attention the past couple days and I’m still going through apps.

Thank you for your patience!

Hey, I submitted an application but changed my tumblr url recently so all the links I provided would no longer work.. Should I submit a new application with the right links?

Hello!

You listed your instagram as one of your social medias, and I found your application pieces through there. I also figured out what your new URL is (not to be creepy or anything), so there's no need to resubmit :)

Anonymous asked:

for the apps, do you have to become an artist AND a merch artist, or can you just become a merch artist?

You're welcome to apply as just a merch artist! Just leave us a note in the 'additional comments' section so we know :)

- Mod Karma

Can I know how many apps have you received so far??

We've received 9 phenomenal applications so far, which I think is pretty good for an unconventional project like this! We can work with that, but we're also definitely still open to more applicants :)
