In an ironic twist to our post yesterday, we finally got a sample of one of the keychains included with the physical merch bundles, designed by @crashkirby64.bsky.social!

Just a quick update, we're experiencing manufacturing delays for some of our merchandise items, so preorders will be shipping a bit later than expected. However! This won't have a bearing on any digital purchases or downloads, just on physical orders.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Uh oh! Someone happened to fall under the radar during our contributor spotlights!
Here's _aecorn, our true final artist!

And with that the preorder period has ended!
Thank you so much to everyone who made a purchase, and to those who didn't make it during this session, don't worry! The zine will officially be going live on November 16th.
That's all for now, but stay tuned for later updates!

Our last quote post had a typo on it, oops!
Preorders will be closing in approximately 6 hours, but don't worry if you don't make it! We'll be officially releasing the zine on November 16th!

Just a reminder that preorders for the Our Life: Treasured Reflections zine will be closing this Saturday, October 20th!
