FAQ
What is this zine?
Missing Moments is a zine filled with untold scenes of 48 different artists’ original stories and characters! This zine includes 130+ pages of slice-of-life fluff, stolen moments, fantastical imaginings, and more! Each page comes with an illustration or comic along with a short blurb of the story’s context thus far.Where do you ship to?
We only ship domestically to the US. Due to increasing uncertainty around international packages and our limited bandwidth as a small team, we are not able to offer international shipping at this time. If you would still love to read the zine, you can get the digital copy.When will the zine be shipped out?
We’re aiming to ship in 4-6 months from when preorders close! You will receive a shipping confirmation in email to let you know that your package is on the way :DWhat about the digital PDF?
The digital PDF zine will be sent out at around the same time that physical orders go out, so that there won’t be any spoilers!What charity will this zine be benefitting?
We will be benefitting 826 National, an organization supporting youth writing and creative works!What is the content rating of this zine?
This zine is safe for work. Some stories and themes may briefly touch on mature themes.So, what is a zine anyway?
Zines are collaborative magazines (hence the name zine) consisting of art and writing! They are often seen in the fandom space, but this zine in particular is OC-centric, which means that all content will be original and based around an artist's original characters. This zine will also be primarily based around illustration and comic art.I have a question that wasn't answered!
