Great news Avengers, our technical glitch has been worked out, and we were finally able to send the last of our emails!!

If you applied and have NOT received an email, please message us as soon as possible so we can resend!

Thank you so much for your patience, we're thrilled to get the creation period underway!!

Hi! Are you guys still sending emails?? No rush! I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed mine

We are Anon, no worries! <3

Due to technical reasons we've had to send emails out in small batches, we ARE still sending out acceptances- not just rejections- so please don't panic if you haven't received an email yet, we will email everyone <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

hello, i had seen before that you guys said that you would send rejection emails as well as the acceptance ones, was that still the case given that i applied and did not get an email?

That is still the case Anon yes :) We're not done sending emails yet <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Wait just saw prev anon ask, applications are closed? Sorry got to know about this today only ;_; You should make a carrd like with schedule and staff its better to check go through

Ah I'm sorry about that Anon, but yes we closed in early July :)

We do have a schedule and staff on the blog, but I can understand your desire for a carrd, and as this is the second time we've been asked for one, I'll talk to the other mods about it <3

Hello, I am trying not to make assumptions, but it seems like this project is having similar delays and organizational problems to other zines Asagi has lead/managed recently (several of which have gone on indefinite hold, some not opening preorders, not shipping, or even not completing donations). Again, I really don't want to attack anyone here or be alarmist, I just want to know if there is anything you're doing that can show people that's not where this project is heading?

Hey Anon, I'd like to address a couple of things you mentioned here so bear with me for a bit of a long post <3

For the immediate issue of this zine, I'm afraid I'm not really sure what to do to assure you at this time, other than letting you know that we've already tallied our votes and will start sending emails within the next 24 hours, as I mentioned we would last night, if there's something specific that you're looking for then please do let us know

As for your other comment about my other zines, could you please let me know what zines are on infinite hold? The only ones that I'm aware of being in this position are ones that failed to get enough responses on their interest checks and never opened applications- and in total fairness, that just... happens with zines sometimes, that's what interest checks are for :)

As for those that have yet to hold preorders, they're still in the creation period- again if you have any that you're particularly concerned with I'd love to be able to address the specific circumstances with you, but just to name the most "immediate" zines that are nearing their preorder stages, both @thehalloweenzine and @yoitropezine are currently working on our contributor preveiws and nailing down our opening dates, and @teenwolfhorrorzine is going to be nearing that stage soon, with our creation running a little longer than we had planned due to the amount of work being done on the tarot deck :) Anything that was started up before those, however, has already gone on preorder (of the ones that actually received what was needed from their interest checks that is)

I'm also not sure what zines are "not shipping"? The zines that have completed their preorders and have not shipped yet are still waiting on products to come in, there should be adequate updates on each zine on their individual blogs, if you'd like to address something specific I'd be more than happy to go into detail with you :)

As for zines that haven't completed donations, the zines that have completed shipping and have not completed donations yet are still in the leftover stage- @ygomagiczine is holding the final leftover sale right now, for example, and once we close there, donations will be made within the month- more than likely that'll be September

Again, I'd love to address things with you specifically so I can provide better information, but that's quite alot of information to unload here and if there's a specific project you're concerned with, I'd love to address it with you so I can reassure of you that project's direction as well as the direction for this one

~Mod Asagi

hello, i dont want to sound rude, but the lack of updates as well as an apparent disorganization within this zine makes it seem the project will not work out

We're sorry you feel that way Anon, though I'd like to respectfully point out that not having anything to update doesn't mean the zine is disorganized

We posted last week that emails would be coming soon for the exact reason of wanting to keep everyone updated but not really having any updates to give at the time, we didn't want radio silence, but there wasn't much we could say

Our voting process is taking a bit longer than we had planned due to a couple of mods having real life issues come up suddenly and needing more time, especially in regards to reading the fic samples, this isn't unusual, as ten days is quite a short span of time to go through over 60 apps, reading dozens of fics, and then putting forth your opinion on all of them, and some people need a little longer than that- especially as real life does always come first

As things are now, the votes have been turned in and we're in the process of tallying them up so we can send out emails within the next day or two, and once we have our contributors in, we'll be able to update the schedule and soon share our contributor list with everyone! :)

Is there a carrd etc to find more information about this zine?

Hi there Anon! We don't have a carrd, but we do have a FAQ! :)

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Hello Avengers! This is just a quick post to let you know that we’re still very much here and available, we’re finishing up our voting so please wait just a bit longer, emails will be going out soon, thank you for your patience thus far!! <3

[marveloffworkzine]

Hi, are there any updates on what's happening with the zine?

Hi Anon! <3 We're still working on voting, everyone's works are so amazing that it's hard to choose!!

But please rest assured that we're actively in the process of making our decisions and our results will go out as soon as possible <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

When do accepted/rejected emails go out? :3

Hi Anon! We're still in the voting process but we're aiming for sometime next week! <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Are you going to have a Twitter page? I tend to use that more and would be able to follow better.

Hey there Anon! We have a Twitter actually <3

This is the anon who asked for the site updates! On the desktop, there's slots for the mods off to the right side, and it only has the head mod currently there, so I couldn't see anything about the other mods! Ahh and sorry about assuming the schedule came from another zine; I've seen zine tumblrs in the past put placeholder schedules while creating the tumblr and then forgetting to put the actual schedule in, so I assumed that bc the schedule was off, that was what happened

Oh! My apologies Anon, I have to manually add more boxes into the code in order to have us all on there and because I'm a very amatuer coder, I've been trying to figure that out ^^; I'll probably break and ask one of the other mods for advice xD

No worries at all :) I wasn't aware that was happening, but that's reasonable to have assumed! <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Will you be sending emails out to everyone who has applied? Or just to those who were accepted?

We'll be sending everyone an email Anon, no worries :)

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Do we get to choose who we draw or are we assigned someone by the mods? Thanks!

Nope, you get to choose Anon! <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Hi! I'm not trying to be rude or anything bc I am very interested in this zine and I know it's not easy work at all, but uh,, would you guys update the tumblr? I don't have a lot of confidence in projects that are using schedules from other zines/haven't even listed all the mods yet... (all respect to you!! I totally get why updating the tumblr slips to the side while you're running other aspects of the zine!! it just doesn't exactly inspire confidence)

Hi there Anon! I'm not 100% sure what you mean by saying that we're using another zine's schedule and haven't posted the mods?

The mods have all had spotlights posted for over a month- https://marveloffworkzine.tumblr.com/tagged/mods

I definitely apologize for not updating the schedule sooner, but that schedule was created for this zine based on the date that our interest check went live, I hadn't thought at the time that it would take quite as long as it did for us to land on a graphic designer so it's certainly out of date (although it's fixed now) but it isn't from another zine?

Thank you for reminding me about the schedule, I really thought I'd done that when we opened apps <3

~Mod Asagi

[marveloffworkzine]

Are apps now closed? I didn't see a post about it and I know there was something about a different deadline than the 7th, but I didn't see any follow up so I'm confused

Sorry about that Anon!

Yes, apps have closed, we're currently in the voting period of our zine! <3
