If we can sell 100 copies, we will have reached enough funding to add *10 MORE PAGES*!

Currently, we are at 100 pages, plus AMAZING merch!

If this crap continues I'll at least be able to send everything by "printed matter" and if there are any merch pieces that don't fall under that (like charms or something) then I will personally bring them to the US next time I'm there and send them then. <3

As far as Japan is concerned, there's no restriction on sending small packages under $100 (I stopped by to check today), and I'm happy to mark packages as "gift" or whatever it takes.

(Also, I doubt this nonsense is going to last given more countries refusing to ship to the US day by day.)

We are 70% FUNDED! 🎉

AMAZING!

3 more copies and we're at our minimum print run! This is HAPPENING, FOLKS! I'm so excited!

Careful Ren Zine @carefulren.bsky.social · Aug 28

So far, no! It's only for packages that exceed $100 USD in value.

Careful Ren Zine @carefulren.bsky.social · Aug 28

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

Sparky 🐏🍂🍁⛈️ @sparkysheep.bsky.social · Aug 27

Hey will this zine be affected by the recent decision by Japan post to stop mail service to the US?

Careful Ren Zine @carefulren.bsky.social · Aug 28

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
