We inherited the Ko-Fi and are doing our best to get things back in working order through the confusion of changing hands. Rest assured, your donations are accounted for, and your contact info is being noted down so we can send you your complete zine PDFs at the end of the order period.

A big thanks to Aqua for bringing this to my attention. The PDF that has been sent out WAS NOT FINISHED!! We’ve managed to fix this for the rest of the order period, but we’re profoundly sorry for the confusion, especially regarding the unfinished works and credits.

For clarity’s sake - Hi, I’m Charlie, I’m Desert Roses’ new organizer mod! I’m being assisted by @/carnival_fair, @/zeramara_art, and @/aauroralightss to finalize the zine contributors’ works and send out a beautiful finished product to y’all.

💐ANNOUNCEMENT🌹

Hi all, we’ve got a quick clarification about the Ko-Fi to make. It has been brought to the new team’s attention that upon purchasing the zine, buyers have been receiving an INCOMPLETE PDF immediately, which was not supposed to happen!

Cont. in comments

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT:
- During the shift in moderation, an error in how the Ko-Fi page was set up has led to an INCOMPLETE PDF being immediately sent to buyers upon purchasing.
- If you are one of these people, don't panic - you will still be receiving the FINALIZED PDF at the end of the ordering period via email.
- For now, please disregard the PDF you have received - it is missing artwork, fic, and full credits.
- We apologize for the inconvenience!
