MERCH DROP!!!
Weâve been working behind the scenes the last few months to get our swag shop ready to go for the 2024 pride season!
All 3 of our merch pieces were lovingly designed in-house by our incredible Design Lich, Z:
đ a very cool t-shirt (easily transformed into a crop top! just add scissors!)
đź a tote bag to to haul your physical books & e-reader (because whatâs a nonprofit without a tote bag?)
đłď¸âđ a 3-piece sticker pack (for your laptop! water bottle! phone case! a telephone pole! whatever!)
We are super proud and excited to collaborate with Worx Printing, a worker-owned cooperative printing company out of Massachusetts. This means that all of the items in the QLL shop are union-made in the United States. You can learn more about Worx, their history, and their perspective at their website. We think they are SUPER COOL!
To be transparent with where your money goes: Your purchase first goes to the cost of making the item you buy through Worx, and the leftover profit is donated from Worx to Queer Liberation Library. As always, weâre nine volunteers in an overcoat, and weâre so excited that anybody might want to wear a shirt with our libraryâs name on it.
Now you can skedaddle on over to our shop and get some new Pride Season duds!
GET READY TO READ QUEER BOOKS THIS PRIDE SEASON!

The Vampyres--The Bones and Blood of the Book
Good news! Iâm not dead and the book isnât either! Just shambling slowly through the wasteland of the publication process. Itâs been a bit since I last waved this bloody morsel around. So, consider this a progress report on the state of the novella, the prospective publishing options, and a few other questions that have been bouncing around in the inbox.
EDIT:
I have a website now! For some reason.
It's See Arcane Scribbles.
Smaller Edit:
Got a Spotify too for story soundtrack goodness:
COVERS
First things firstâand the first part of a finished book is the cover. Here are some mockups Iâve been juggling, starting with the original placeholder. Theyâre far from perfect, but Iâm proud of what I managed with a fairly skinny graphic art skill set.
FINISHING, FORMAT, AND FINANCE*
*(OR, THE HEADACHENING)
Copyright: Technically speaking, you have the copyright to your own writing once you put it to paper or screen. But this is somehow a different thing from a legally-binding registered copyright, which everyone declares is a must-have if you want your work to be protected with more than a non-textual trust-fall exercise, hoping nobody steals your work and runs.
That said, electronic registration with the copyright office is $65, or $45 to register one work by one author.
ISBN: I only recently learned the words behind this acronym. âInternational Standard Book Number.â Itâs the ID on a book that marks it as unique and helps commercial booksellers and libraries circulate it. Each iteration of a bookâpaperback, digital, hardcover, new editions, et ceteraâhas its own ISBN. When youâre publishing on your own, you purchase ISBNs through a service called Bowker.
One book/versionâs ISBN costs $125.
There are better bargains the higher the number of books and/or versions you go, starting at a bulk of 10 books for $295. But as I only have the one (1) skinny novella on the table, thatâs a no-go. Which begs the question of how many ISBNs are in store for this little monster. It depends on how many formats I go with.
eBook: The quickest and most cost-efficient option across the board for any self-publication service. Short, sweet, no printing pains of trim sizes or distribution costs or formatting, oh my. Nice.
Paperback VS Hardcover: âŚBut I am now and forever a sucker for physical media. Even though itâs a teeny brochure of a thing, I want to hold a physical copy of The Vampyres in my hands! So bad! And every service Iâve looked through has stated the obvious: Hardcover costs more than paperback. My heart wonât break if I have to stick with paperback to spare everyoneâs walletsâhardcovers are pricy in both directions!âbut I am a little torn. Especially as physical size might affect the price too.
Here we have two of my favorite quick reads, an anthology of Poe stories and Clive Barkerâs novella, The Hellbound Heart.
The Poe book is a clothbound hardcover. 6.5 x 4.5 inches, a bit over 120 pages.
The Hellbound Heart is roughly 8 x 5 inches (about standard for a novella), at 164 pages. But unlike Poe, it looks like Barker took some liberties with the spacing and font size.
Standard size dimensions cost less than unique cuts, which means that whether paperback or hardcover, I sadly have to say goodbye to the petite palm-sized edition I was hoping for. On the upside, good news to us crap-vision readersâthe fontâs going to get H U G E in order to make the book more than a pamphlet with delusions of grandeur.
Audiobook: The fact is, my voice is not up to the task of reciting anything with appropriate gravitas and I think weâve all been spoiled by @re-dracula and assorted other podcastsâ skill in orating. I donât have the cash to hire a professional and Iâm not about to accept anyoneâs freebie offers. I wonât pickpocket friends for their talent. If an audio version ever comes along for any story of mine itâll be down the road when it proves worth the formatâs effort and cost.
REVIEWS (and a Foreword!)
It was the best of times (People reading the thing! Commenting on the thing! Good good goodâ), it was the worst of times (The Mortifying Ordeal of People Reading and Commenting on the Thing). Time for what every advice site declares a book absolutely must have the moment itâs thrust into the wild.
Reviews, reviews, reviews.
Iâve already bitten several bullets and passed copies out to a handful of fellow scribblers to scrutinize, their reviews destined to be hung up like literary gold stars on their bookselling site of choice, my own included. Now comes my preliminary grovel to readers en masse to please drop a review, a comment, a blurb of any shape or size where you can once The Vampyres drops. Iâve already gotten some early comments that have consisted mostly of screaming. Screams also count as a review.
As an aside, there are two folks in particular who I reached out to who exist in the stratosphere of Coolest People in the Vampiric Lit scene. They promptly exploded me into disbelieving giblets when they told me, yes, theyâd be happy to read my little story and offer up a review and a foreword for the book respectively.
Iâm not sure what the decorum here is, but for safety (and surpriseâs) sake, Iâll not name names. But they are names Iâve been happy to come across for the past two years while neck deep in the undead book club. Iâm infinitely grateful to both of them and am waiting on pins, needles, stakes and kukri blades by my inbox so I can pin their words up inside the book itself.
FUTURE SCRIBBLING
To get one of the biggest questions out of the way, letâs talk about Barking Harker.
My very own object lesson on sunk cost fallacy.
I wrote my way through a goddamn cinderblock of text without even grazing the finish line of the first section of the story. A story made of so many convoluted triple-decker layers of subplots and side characters that it had the structural integrity of a monolithic Nature Valley granola bar, just waiting to fall apart under its own weight. Such is the hubris and curse of too-many-words-itis. The Vampyres remains a miraculous fluke, jotted down during an overdue break from BHâs slog. Not just because I tripped and fell into finishing the story, but because itâs comparatively compact! Brevity at last!
For those still craving the assorted gothic and ghoulish promises of the initial novel idea, donât worry, those arenât going anywhere. Iâve just crumbled the metaphorical bloodstained granola by my own hand and have done the sane thing of parsing out the various subplots to become the foundations of their own stories. Which they really should have been from the get-go. Insert 100+ clown emojis here.
On that note, I am turning into WIPs Georg over here. Good god.
I hesitate to throw myself all-in again and make promises of X Story that may leave me spinning my mental wheels or ballooning the plot out into a behemoth that canât be steered back on course. Even so, hereâs a peek at a few ideas I currently have on the brain.
So.
Not exactly lacking for stories. Itâs just a matter of seeing which of them breaks ahead of the herd and squeezes out into the publication ether first.
LAST BIT Â
Blah, blah, requisite reminder that I have a Ko-Fi where you can donate a buck or commission my best attempt at art, blah. Any pennies are a help.
But Iâm betting very few of you came around here for my doodles. Somehow, a good amount of people tripped into this pit with me because you enjoy the rambles and horrors Iâve written over the years. Maybe some of you will even buy my book once itâs out. And you, there, on the other side of the screenâyouâre reading this right now. You made it all the way to the bottom of this pile of exposition just because you wanted to. So, thank you.
Thank you for reading this far. Thank you for reading before and reading whatâs to come. Thank you for giving me the confidence to even consider shouldering my own work out into the wider world.
Thank you.
P.S. If you want to re-read the preview, go here!

[ID: a screenshot of a reblog by @/fleurtygurl. It reads: "Omg instant follow! I need more Philippines facts in my life!!! đđđ
If you have any facts about filipino myths? That would be amazing. But also I will literally eat up everything you post!
I'm in desperate need of reconnecting with my roots, but I've been so busy that I haven't had any time to do any extensive research...."
/End ID]
@fleurtygurl Decided to make a whole post based on this because I loooove talking about Filipino mythology and researching more about different mythologies within the country and I also hadn't gone around to looking through the things I want to learn about.
Filipino mythology is a pretty huge umbrella term considering that there are hundreds of cultures in the archipelago that have different beliefs, practices, and traditions and especially before the Spanish colonial period. I won't get too deep into it, but basically if you want to learn about some grander pantheon or some general overarching compendium of beliefs that all precolonial Filipinos believe in, you won't be getting that sine historically, Filipinos were not a unified people, but a bunch of different countries and communities that were placed under one governing body for easy management for the Spanish crown.
With so many Filipino cultures and, by extension, mythologies, the best way with trying to reconnect with your heritage, it might be best to figure out which ethnic group you may have connections too and start researching from there. In my case, for example, I would look up both Tagalog mythology, Bikolano mythology, and Ilokano mythology in order to get a good grasp of the mythology of my roots since I'm mixed Tagalog, Bikolano, and Ilokano, and those three have widely different beliefs and especially with folk religion.
I guess the main issue with this is a lot of sources related to Filipino myths are often difficult to find, are unreliable, or plainly just non-existent. Lots of books are often out of circulation and print, or if they are still in print, they are often only sold by specific retailers and often cost a lot of money. Research papers are locked behind a paywall or are only available through specific e-libraries you can only access if you have an affiliation with a university. Online articles may be unreliable and source places that are hard to fact check. Blogs, honestly including mine to be frank, may parrot wrong information from other websites and articles, with their best feature being the possibility that they may have come from oral sources but those are also very few.
Honestly, I was about to go on a long tangent about discussing at least the Tagalog pantheon and mythology because it had a lot of sources I've seen online, but after hours of research, I've found out that there was also a lot of unreliable sources in terms of information about that so I've decided against rambling on further about it for now.
(I am still going to write about my findings on the Tagalog pantheon later but after what I've found out, I might take some time to look through a lot more primary sources which means colonial era texts and harder to find archived works.)
I will say that a good way to connect with more general Filipino folklore outside of mythology itself is probably consuming media that explores folklore and traditional beliefs. I recommend Trese, a Filipino comic turned series on Netflix if you want to see Filipino cryptids being used in a modern-day story made by Filipinos. There are also other comics that focus on Filipino mythology like The Mythology Class and its sequel The Children of Bathala by Arnold Arre.
There's also series and movies that take inspiration from Filipino folklore and mythology with Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalya (English name Niko: The Journey to Magika) as my go-to suggestion. I had also heard good reviews for Amaya, a series created by GMA 7, but honestly I don't think the series clicked with me.
#mayaposts#mayapino#fleurtygurl#filipino#philippines#filipino mythology#might make posts about specific filipino myths some other time because it's such a big umbrella of stories and legends#outside of the precolonial religion#sorry to make this post so long i'm a give me an inch i'll go a mile kinda person#long post

The Ultimate Guide to Starting Your Own Side Hustle as a Teen
In todayâs digital age, starting a side hustle as a teen is more achievable than ever. Whether youâre looking to make extra money, save for a goal, or develop new skills, a side hustle can set you up for future success while giving you a taste of entrepreneurship. Hereâs everything you need to know about starting your own side hustle as a teen, including ideas, tips, and how to get started.
1. Why Start a Side Hustle?
Financial Independence: Earn money to cover personal expenses, save for college, or fund hobbies.
Skill Development: Learn time management, communication, and business skills that will benefit you in the long term.
Experience for Future Jobs: Building a portfolio or gaining hands-on experience can make you stand out when applying for jobs or internships.
2. Best Side Hustle Ideas for Teens
Not all side hustles require significant experience or upfront costs. Here are some beginner-friendly ideas you can start today:
A. Freelancing (Graphic Design, Writing, or Social Media)
If you have skills in areas like graphic design, writing, video editing, or managing social media, you can offer your services as a freelancer. Start small by working with local businesses or individuals, and gradually expand to online platforms like Upwork, Freelancer, or Instagram.
Example: Create logos for small businesses, manage someoneâs Instagram page, or write blog posts for websites.
Tools to start: Canva (design), Photopea (graphic design), CapCut (video editing).
B. Sell Your Creations (Art, Clothing, Jewelry)
If youâre creative, selling handmade goods or custom products online can be a fun way to make money. You can sell art, hand-painted clothing, jewelry, or custom crafts through platforms like Etsy or Instagram.
Example: Start a custom T-shirt printing business, design jewelry, or sell artwork.
Tools to start: Instagram (to promote), Etsy (to sell), Printify (for T-shirt designs).
C. Offer Tutoring or Homework Help
Are you strong in subjects like math, English, or science? You can offer tutoring services to peers or younger students. Parents are often willing to pay for quality tutoring, and you can do this in person or online through video calls.
Example: Offer math tutoring sessions for middle school students, or help with essay writing.
Tools to start: Zoom or Google Meet for virtual tutoring sessions, Canva for making promotional materials.
D. Start a YouTube or TikTok Channel
Teens today are taking over platforms like YouTube and TikTok, creating content thatâs entertaining, informative, or creative. You can make videos on topics youâre passionate aboutâgaming, tech reviews, beauty, fitness, or vlogging your daily life.
Example: Review new gadgets, share makeup tutorials, or create workout challenges.
Tools to start: CapCut or InShot for editing videos, TikTok, or YouTube for content.
E. Offer Social Media Management Services
Small businesses often struggle to keep up with their social media presence, so offering to manage their accounts can be a lucrative option. You can create content, respond to followers, and grow their online presence.
Example: Manage Instagram pages for local coffee shops or online stores.
Tools to start: Canva for content creation, Hootsuite for scheduling posts, Instagram and Facebook for social media management.
3. Steps to Start Your Side Hustle
Hereâs a step-by-step guide on how to kickstart your side hustle:
Step 1: Identify Your Skills and Interests
Choose a side hustle that aligns with your passions or talents. Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing in my free time? What skills do I already have?
Step 2: Do Some Research
Before starting, research the market to see if thereâs demand for your service or product. Check out your competitors, study their pricing, and read reviews to understand what customers are looking for.
Step 3: Set Up Your Online Presence
Even if youâre working locally, having an online presence is crucial to grow your side hustle. Create an Instagram or Facebook page, or build a simple website using platforms like Wix or WordPress to showcase your services or products.
Step 4: Create a Portfolio
For freelancing or creative side hustles, having a portfolio helps potential clients see the quality of your work. You can use Instagram, Medium, or Behance to show off your designs, writings, or past projects.
Step 5: Start Small and Test
Begin with small projects to test the waters. This will help you refine your service, understand client needs, and grow your confidence before taking on bigger jobs.
Step 6: Promote Your Hustle
Use social media to promote your side hustle. Ask friends and family to share your posts. Offering referral discounts or freebies can also help you grow your client base.
4. Challenges You May Face
Starting a side hustle isnât always easy, especially as a teen. Here are some common challenges and how to overcome them:
Time Management: Juggling school, activities, and your side hustle can be tough. Create a schedule and set aside specific hours for your business to avoid burnout.
Legal Restrictions: Depending on your country or state, there may be age-related restrictions on earning money. Make sure to follow any legal guidelines for minors.
Gaining Trust: As a young entrepreneur, some clients may underestimate you. Building a strong portfolio and maintaining professionalism will help you earn credibility.
5. Final Tips for Success
Stay Consistent: Whether youâre building an audience or trying to grow a client base, consistency is key. Donât give up too quickly if things start slow.
Keep Learning: Invest time in learning new skills through YouTube tutorials, online courses, or Skillshare to enhance your abilities.
Have Fun: A side hustle should be something you enjoy, not something that adds stress to your life. Focus on growing it while keeping balance with school and your personal life.
Conclusion
Starting a side hustle as a teen is not only possible, but itâs also a great way to gain real-world experience, develop new skills, and achieve financial independence. With the right idea, a bit of effort, and some consistency, you can turn your passions into profit. So pick an idea, get started, and watch your side hustle grow!

Would anyone be willing to help me order the E-Books in either Dutch or Swedish for the Star Stable second trilogy?
So, I don't think we're going to get the 2nd trilogy in English like we hoped for. All day I've been working on a theory video for something that was APPARENTLY already confirmed at the beginning of the first book, and quite honestly, I've had enough. The lore can be kept from me any longer! No borders or language barriers can stop me!
...but apparently websites requiring an account be made with a actual address in Sweden or the Netherlands - even for digital-only-no-shipping purchases - can in fact stop me.
So, dear mutuals, I ask, nay, I beg. Would someone be able to help me get the books? I will of course cover costs. Even if you can point me in a direction to get the books through a US vendor, I just need my juicy lore bits.
My goal is to translate the books as best I can to English and share the lore Sparks Notes. Ik spreek en beetje Nederlands, well, as much as the Green Owl would tell me before they started doing AI translations and I deleted the app, but still. I recognize this is a monumental task for someone who only knows a little Dutch, but this is also a chance for me to learn more of the language and sentence structure. https://starstableentertainment.com/the-second-soul-riders-trilogy/ Shadows Over Jorvik â Helena Dahlgren The Prisoner of Pandoria â Helena Dahlgren Aideenâs Gift â Helena Dahlgren

Why Should You Do Web Scraping for python
Web scraping is a valuable skill for Python developers, offering numerous benefits and applications. Hereâs why you should consider learning and using web scraping with Python:
1. Automate Data Collection
Web scraping allows you to automate the tedious task of manually collecting data from websites. This can save significant time and effort when dealing with large amounts of data.
2. Gain Access to Real-World Data
Most real-world data exists on websites, often in formats that are not readily available for analysis (e.g., displayed in tables or charts). Web scraping helps extract this data for use in projects like:
Data analysis
Machine learning models
Business intelligence
3. Competitive Edge in Business
Businesses often need to gather insights about:
Competitor pricing
Market trends
Customer reviews Web scraping can help automate these tasks, providing timely and actionable insights.
4. Versatility and Scalability
Pythonâs ecosystem offers a range of tools and libraries that make web scraping highly adaptable:
BeautifulSoup: For simple HTML parsing.
Scrapy: For building scalable scraping solutions.
Selenium: For handling dynamic, JavaScript-rendered content. This versatility allows you to scrape a wide variety of websites, from static pages to complex web applications.
5. Academic and Research Applications
Researchers can use web scraping to gather datasets from online sources, such as:
Social media platforms
News websites
Scientific publications
This facilitates research in areas like sentiment analysis, trend tracking, and bibliometric studies.
6. Enhance Your Python Skills
Learning web scraping deepens your understanding of Python and related concepts:
HTML and web structures
Data cleaning and processing
API integration
Error handling and debugging
These skills are transferable to other domains, such as data engineering and backend development.
7. Open Opportunities in Data Science
Many data science and machine learning projects require datasets that are not readily available in public repositories. Web scraping empowers you to create custom datasets tailored to specific problems.
8. Real-World Problem Solving
Web scraping enables you to solve real-world problems, such as:
Aggregating product prices for an e-commerce platform.
Monitoring stock market data in real-time.
Collecting job postings to analyze industry demand.
9. Low Barrier to Entry
Python's libraries make web scraping relatively easy to learn. Even beginners can quickly build effective scrapers, making it an excellent entry point into programming or data science.
10. Cost-Effective Data Gathering
Instead of purchasing expensive data services, web scraping allows you to gather the exact data you need at little to no cost, apart from the time and computational resources.
11. Creative Use Cases
Web scraping supports creative projects like:
Building a news aggregator.
Monitoring trends on social media.
Creating a chatbot with up-to-date information.
Caution
While web scraping offers many benefits, itâs essential to use it ethically and responsibly:
Respect websites' terms of service and robots.txt.
Avoid overloading servers with excessive requests.
Ensure compliance with data privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA.
If you'd like guidance on getting started or exploring specific use cases, let me know!

hi sovo ;u; I hope it's okay if I ask you a shop question! So um, I'm lower on money than I've ever been and I'm too burnt out to do commissions for ppl due to personal stuff, but I feel like... if I made one charm or one sticker for a particularly huge fandom/movie that's out right now, and if I put it up as preorder and sold at least 20 keychains then I'd be able to pay my bills this month. but I've never sold physical merch before and I'm a little nervous to try it haha :'D
Would you recommend I try making an Etsy since it seems to have a large enough audience, or do you think I should try making my own website/shop? I'm definitely not ready to consistently sell things as a steady job yet, I thought I'd try literally just one single keychain or one sticker sheet (I already learned how to make those, thankfully) in order to pay my rent this month bc I've only got about a hundred dollars to my name sdflkfssdf;; and if it goes well then maybe I can try it again.
I'm also not quite sure how to price things? if I made a 3.5 inch acrylic charm with the little star shaped keychains like from Vograce, do people normally price those at $15 when they sell them? should I also account for shipping? I've also umm never shipped merch before and I'm so worried about somehow messing it up sldfjsf like I don't know what kind of envelopes I have to get or if I should even use my own address bc I'm so nervous about my personal info being out there, but I don't know if it's worth paying for a PO box if I'm so low on money already. if you have any tips on anything whatsoever, I would appreciate any feedback if you're not busy. But if you don't want to answer please don't worry about it ;u; anyway thank you so much for reading this I really appreciate you! â¤
no prob! here are my thoughts:
pros/cons of etsy:
apparently if you're new to selling on etsy, there's a probationary period where etsy withholds your profits for 3 months. i don't know anything about it personally since it started in 2020, but it seems that funds are only released when your shipped orders are scanned at the post office. i think i also remember hearing about other cases where payments aren't released at all for 3 months--and etsy customer service has a reputation of being difficult to get a hold of if you have a problem as a seller, so if etsy made a mistake with your shop, it may take even more months to resolve. since you have preorders in mind, i would hold off on etsy unless you can pay out of pocket.
etsy can drive traffic towards your listing for you (if you choose the right keywords--it's more difficult to be discovered just randomly if you don't).
they have high fees (for a $15 charm they'd take $1.88 in fees, which is 12.5%).
people may be cautious to buy from a shop that has no reviews yet, but many customers are protected by etsy's purchase protection and can be refunded at no cost to you if their order gets lost in the mail (provided that you ship with a tracking number and meet other criteria).
etsy will strongly recommend that you offer free shipping; ignore them. i don't think i've ever bought fanmerch with free shipping in my life, and their advice isn't geared towards sellers like us.
preorders don't work very well with etsy's system--iirc you're not supposed to do them (even though people still do, of course) but the main reason i remember is that the max processing time etsy lets you set per product (as in, the time between the customer purchasing the listing and you shipping it out) is 6 weeks. that means that the time you allow for customers to place their preorders, the time it takes for you to order and receive the merch, and the time it takes for you to ship out orders, all need to add up a max of 6 weeks, which was personally a difficult timeline for me to meet when making keychains. ofc, it's possible to extend the processing time, but going over the processing time may make it possible for customers to leave reviews/open cases early before you're even ready to ship out their orders, which could affect the reputation of your shop.
pros/cons of not etsy:
if you're not going with etsy, i've heard people recommend bigcartel, since it doesn't require a subscription like shopify or other places do. bigcartel's free plan is limited, but it should work for what you're looking for. another alternative might be ko-fi--i've heard that ko-fi shops aren't ideal for shipping out a large amount of orders, but since you're targeting just 20 i think it should be manageable.
ofc, you'll have to drive all your traffic yourself, so consider if you have enough of a following in your target fandom, or how you should go about getting your post noticed by your target fandom.
unlike etsy, shipping isn't auto-calculated, so i'd probably set a flat rate (in the US i'd expect $5). flat rates might make calculating your taxes just a little bit more complicated; in california at least, you have to pay taxes on the difference between the shipping you charge your customers and the shipping you actually pay to the post office, so iirc you either refund the extra shipping to the customer or hand it all over in taxes.
pricing:
yes, the standard price for ~3" acrylic keychains is $15, though i've also seen people go up to $16 or $17, especially on etsy where the fees are high.
shipping should be a separate cost, either auto-calculated for you (if you're on etsy/shopify) or a flat rate that you set based on shipping rates for your country, so in the end a customer might pay $15 + $5 = $20 in total.
unless most of your prospective customers are international, i'd recommend against shipping internationally to avoid dealing with customs forms, especially since you already have a lot of info to take in.
you can ship everything in a regular bubble mailer, though if you're just shipping stickers not keychains, a flat envelope should work fine. when shipping packages, you'll need to know the weight of each package, but you can just go by an estimate. a 3" acrylic keychain weighs about 1 oz (it weighs less than that, but they don't accept decimals) so i just multiply based on how many keychains are in an order. for usps at least, shipping is the same rate up until 10 oz iirc, so you don't need to weigh it super accurately. you could also always just go into the post office and have them weigh and label everything for you.
po box:
if regular PO box rates in your area are too high, you can also consider using a virtual po box; they go for about $10 per month at their most basic plans. if you're not expecting to get any mail redirected back to you, you should be able to just buy a month's subscription when you're ready to ship things out.
words of caution:
you probably already know this, but large fandoms can often be oversaturated by merch, so just choosing a large fandom might not be enough to guarantee a sale--you might have to stand out by, say, choosing a character who's in demand but doesn't have much fanmerch, having a funny meme concept, or having such a unique/attractive style that people can't help but want your fanmerch in particular. if you haven't already, i'd recommend looking around the market and seeing what's out there and decide why a buyer should choose your merch over anyone else's. though honestly, depending on your fandom, it could also not be this serious and not warrant much research--it all depends!
even if the preorder process works out and you get the funds to place the order, the manufacturer could always mess up on your order, which could lead to delays in your fulfillment and at worst, more expenses if you need to pay to get them remade. if it's easier to get sticker sheets made (like if you make them yourself/locally instead of ordering from overseas) they might be a safer choice of merch to make. ofc, i don't generally see sticker sheets up for preorder so you'd probably have to order them out of pocket and hope they sell, and you'll probably have to sell more of them than you would of keychains to get the same amount of profit. i don't know the whole situation, so i can't say anything definite about the risks/rewards between choosing to sell keychains and choosing to sell stickers.

Work Smarter, Not Harder Use Dropbox As WordPress Hosting
Running a WordPress site often means juggling increasing hosting costs as your content grows. Many website owners find themselves paying premium prices for storage space, especially when their sites become media-heavy with images, videos, and documents.
Maximize Efficiency and Minimize Hosting Costs with Our Integrate Dropbox Plugin for WordPress
Integrate Dropbox best plugin for WordPress. Our Dropbox integration plugin reimagines how WordPress handles media storage. Instead of relying solely on your hosting server's storage, your media library seamlessly connects with Dropbox's robust infrastructure.

The balance between delivering rich media content and maintaining hosting efficiency can be challenging. Thatâs where Dropbox Integration Plugin comes in, providing a seamless bridge between Dropbox and WordPress to help you streamline file management, save on hosting costs, and enhance your user experienceâall without coding hassles.
Why Hosting Optimization Matters

For companies scaling their content, this can quickly lead to higher hosting costs, slower load times, and potential website downtime. By integrating Dropbox with WordPress, CodeConfigâs plugin allows users to manage, display, and play Dropbox-hosted files directly on their site, significantly reducing the hosting load.

WooCommerce Compatibility For e-commerce sites, our plugin provides a unique solution for downloadable products. Upload product files to Dropbox and offer them as downloadable products in WooCommerce. This ensures smooth delivery and saves precious server space.
Dynamic File Browser, Gallery, and Media Player Add Dropbox files as interactive elements, such as galleries or media players, directly into your content. This feature is ideal for course creators and content-heavy websites. Our Slider Carousel and Media Player are customizable to fit your brandâs aesthetic, offering both style and function.
Shortcode Builder and Custom Embeds With our intuitive Shortcode Builder, users can quickly generate and customize modules like media players, sliders, and file browsers. Embed files, set view-only permissions, and create download linksâall with simple shortcodes. This means less reliance on heavy plugins and more control over your content display.
Saving Costs Without Sacrificing Quality
Using CodeConfigâs Dropbox Integration Plugin not only reduces hosting expenses but also delivers a faster, more reliable user experience. By offloading storage to Dropbox, your website can handle more traffic and richer content without performance dips.
Our responsive design ensures that these features look great on both desktop and mobile, providing a seamless experience across devices.
Lightning-Fast Media Management
WordPress users can now upload media directly through the familiar WordPress interface while the plugin automatically syncs it to Dropbox. No need to learn new tools or change your workflow - everything happens behind the scenes.
Enhanced Website Performance
By offloading media storage to Dropbox, your WordPress site becomes significantly lighter and faster. Your server resources focus on running core WordPress functions rather than handling heavy media requests.

e-Boy (ă¤ăźăăźă¤)
Japanese Mercari listings: 1 2
Sold Yahoo Auctions listing
A website which had e-Boy for sale mentions it can learn words and speak to you, while moving its antennae (I DOUBT it actually learns), and that it came from space. It uses 4 AA batteries, and it looks like the arms move.
The website's online price for it was 5,000 yen. Two of them would cost 7,600 yen.
The back of the box mentions it communicates with other E-boys.
EDIT: Thought Iâd clarify, despite what the webpage says, the âlearningâ feature it mentions probably refers to the toy speaking more English overtime, like how a Furby is said to âlearnâ more English, the more you play with it.
