We continue to make progress in the production of our zine and merch! Have a peak at the first little batch all made up! I'm planning to make a tumblr post detailing a bit of the process soon, so be sure to watch for that if you're interested.

Proof of our foil print. It turned out so well! So shiny! @llucico.bsky.social did an amazing job creating this piece! It was inspired by Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss." I for one cannot wait to have one of these beauties framed in a place of honour on my wall <3

Update Time! So, it's been a little quiet since our pre-orders closed. But we have been very busy! Trust! JK, you don't have to blindly trust, you can check out the longer post about what we've been up to over on our tumblr blog! www.tumblr.com/ganqingzine/... And see our photo evidence here:

Well, less that 12hrs remain for the interest check (or as soon as I get out of bed tomorrow and shut it down lol) The response has been amazing! Far more than I dared to hope. Thank you all! After the IC, it'll be time to start gearing up for contributor applications! Let's go, ganqing nation!

One week left! Our interest check closes on January 5, 2025! If you still want to fill one out, you still have time! forms.gle/dwRvKy8C9joS... Big thank you to everyone who filled one out so far! The response has been heartening, and we cant wait to move on the the next phase of this project.

This wasn't really phrased as a question, but we'll answer it! Q: How much advanced notice will be given for the shop opening? A: As much as possible! Things are definitely tough, so we will aim to give as much notice as we can so people can plan their finances. Got a question? Send us a DM!

A question from the Interest Check! Q: Will the zine have a specific theme? A: No, the theme for the zine is really just 'Ganqing' and their relationship. Contributors will be free to choose how they'd like to portray the characters in their art/story. Got a question? Shoot us a DM!
