*Poltergeist voice* They’re heeeeeeeere! (And they’re BEAUTIFULLLLLLLL!!!!)

Only thing left is waiting on the last ~100 dog tags arriving and then the books themselves!

Trading cards all packed! Now I’m going to wrap all of the dog tags in an extra layer of origami paper so they don’t scratch the books. (Please don’t judge my awful wrapping skills. 😂)

Today it’s sorting and bagging trading card sets all day. 🎉

The merch is all here (except for the extra Hux dog tags)! All the trading cards have been cut, and the “point cards” and bookmarks have all been hand trimmed. That was A LOT but it’s all done now! Tomorrow I will be packing the trading cards into baggies and starting to box things up for mailing!

We were freaky in ALL the ways!

It begins!

Emails have been sent confirming Zine purchases and the schedule for mailing of the physical zines and the PDFs, so please check your spam folders!

The trading cards have arrived and they look amazing! Now I’m going to be cutting cards for a decade. 😅

This is NOT just for creators! It's open to ALL kylux fans! Let me know what makes them special to you, and I'll put your quotes in the PDF version!

If you missed a chance to be IN the zine, I want to hear from you! What got you into kylux? Why are they important to you? Please write a short blurb (1-2 sentences) and I will add it to the zine! FORMAT: "Blah blah blah. blah blah blah!" ~@YourName (pronouns, if wanted) THANK YOU! <3

Not that long, actually! 😻🌸

Bets on how long it takes me to hand write 215 thank you notes? 😂😭😂😭😂😭😂

🎉IT IS DONE! 🎉 Now it's just the waiting game til everything arrives! I'll be taking a break for a few days, then I'll get the PDF version prepared and sent out in a week or so! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! <3

ORDERS FOR THE PHYSICAL ZINE ARE NOW CLOSED!!! The PDF ONLY version is still available! THANK YOU ALLLLLLLL!!!! <3

🚨ATTENTION, ALL KYLUX SHIPPERS!🚨 The CAREFUL, REN 10th anniversary kylux zine has reached its minimum order to fulfill a print run!🎉 Further orders will help us to add more merch, so please keep those orders coming! $45 USD, worldwide shipping included! ko-fi.com/darthastris

We are 70% FUNDED! 🎉 AMAZING! 3 more copies and we're at our minimum print run! This is HAPPENING, FOLKS! I'm so excited!

Good question! So far it should NOT affect the zine, as the restriction is for small packages that cost over $100. The zine will be marked at the value you paid for it, which is well under! <3

We're at 61% funding now! Thank you to everyone who has pitched in so far! We only need to sell 7 more copies to ensure the minimum run! After that, every copy that's sold will go toward the higher printing goal and will lower the overall cost, which means MORE MERCH! <3 ko-fi.com/darthastris

We're almost half-way funded within the first 24 hours! Thank you so much! Please keep spreading the word!

We're 40% funded ALREADY! It's only been about 8 hours! Y'all are incredible! Keep it coming, and tell your friends! (Also please don't forget to PM your name, address, and email on ko-fi when you pay! <3)

We are already almost a quarter of the way funded! ALREADY! I LOVE THE KYLUX COMMUNITY!
