Thank you all for your support!! Profits made from sales of leftover zine bundles and misprinted copies (online and at Sydney’s Smashcon 2019) were compiled (after paypal and shipment fees) and donated to the AMCS. The specific “Stop ADANI” page has closed, so it was donated to this general reef campaign: https://www.marineconservation.org.au/actions/donate-great-barrier-reef/

That’s $280 on top of the $955 we made from initial sales! Woah!!

As a reminder: All (non-misprinted) physical merchandise from this project have sold out and there will not be any reruns. I will continue having the misprinted copies up for non-profit sale until they run out.

Because of my lifestyle, I have not been able to keep up with messages for this blog (especially over tumblr DMs -- those are especially unreliable for contacting me because I don’t get notifications for them), I apologise. If you have any queries, please email me at my personal address: contact.quynh.tu.truong@gmail.com

[Image caption: Screencaps of the AMCS’s thank-you page, a thank-you email and 2 receipts. The first receipt is for $280 donated on the date of 16/07/2019 and the second is for $955 donated on the date of 10/10/2018]

(Just in case anyone’s wondering: the reason leftover sales are being hosted on @qtt-art​ ‘s online store is to save on shopfront hosting expenses!)

Hello!! At last we’re selling leftovers of DEVILSTEW: A Dorohedoro Fanzine! All profits from these purchases will continue to go towards the Australian Marine Conservation Society. We will NOT be reprinting after this. Leftover Full Feast Bundles ($32): https://skychair.bigcartel.com/product/bundle-devilstew Discounted misprint zines ($5): https://skychair.bigcartel.com/product/bundle-misprinted-devilstew

Leftover Nikaido charms ($5): https://skychair.bigcartel.com/product/charm-dorohedoro-nikaido

(Reblogs appreciated!)

Here are the results for the chosen charity poll and total amount of money raised for it! $955 was raised for the Australian Marine Conservation Society!

Thank you all so much for your patience with regard to this long running project. It was a bumpy road, with misprints and minor delays, but we did it!!  I’m forever grateful to have worked with such amazing creators and to have witnessed such an unexpectedly wonderful amount of support for Devilstew.

The AMCS donation page can be found here (if you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can find record of our donation there under my name “Quynh Truong” -- I would’ve liked to have it credited under “Devilstew: A Dorohedoro Fanzine Collaboration″ but there was no option for an alternative title that wasn’t the same name used for my postal address, sadly.)

We did it!! Thank you so much everyone!!

Spare zines, zine merchandise and discounted misprinted zine sales will commence around December-January. A second chosen charity poll will run then to decide where that profit goes! (There will be no further reprints of any zines or zine merchandise after this.)

-Q

Online sales have been closed!

Thank you so much guys! When Gumroad forwards me the last of the profit earned from it I’ll send proceeds towards our chosen charity! Please forgive me if I’m slow about replies not related to shipping orders, I’m prioritising already-made zine purchases and real life obligations right now. Have a good one, everyone!

ALL* purchases have been mailed!

Thank you so much for everyone’s patience! All customer purchases have been mailed *(save for one package that I was asked to hold onto until September.) May everyone’s items arrive swiftly and safely! Australian packages should arrive within 1-2 weeks and international packages should arrive within 4-6 weeks (although Canada-bound packages may take longer to arrive -- I’m speaking from experience but have no idea why that is so.)

On top of that, I’m 30% through with participant bundles as we speak! n_n

Have a lovely day everyone!

Zine Only and Postcard Packs Mailed!

All zine-only and postcard pack purchases have been mailed! Next up are the Full Feast and Participant bundles.

Mailing is finally happening!!

Hi guys! The reprints are here and they look much better than the misprinted first batch, thank goodness.

I just sent off all the zine-only orders! Next will be the postcard packs before the full feast bundles. Please bear with me a little while longer as I’m the only one packaging and mailing everything at the moment. As a token of appreciation for everyone’s patience, thank-you items have been included in every preordered package (a bookmark, mini-print or extra stickers depending on what you bought).

Have a lovely day!

Also, here’s a reminder that digital sales are still ongoing until September for anyone who missed out on the physical preorders! There’s a high chance that I’ll also be selling the misprinted books at a deeply discounted price next to the regular spares as it would be wasteful to throw them all away. Only 3 of 52 pages of the misprinted books have a production error so if that doesn’t bother you, look out for that in the future!

Zine proofs are here!! Everything looks good – just need to do a few tweaks before it’s ready for shipping.

The cover is laminated with a matte finish and feels nice to touch n_n

@collaborators

I'll be emailing all our collaborators with their own digital copies of the zine after their physical copies have been shipped out. Let me know via email if you'd like your copy early and I'll send it to you next I'm free n_n)9 (I do this in case people would rather open their books without spoilers.)

(Reminder to give me your updated address through the form on the zine brief if you haven't already so I can get your bundle to you.)

A digital copy of DEVILSTEW: A Dorohedoro Fanzine, a collaborative fanzine dedicated to the world and characters of Q Hayashida’s Dorohedoro! Sales of the digital zine end September 1st.

Zine specifications: A5-sized images, 52 pages, 83.2MB, (37+ illustrations and 1 written piece), PDF file.

Content warnings: Depictions and descriptions of mild gore and dismemberment, blood, coarse language.

Thank you so much for everyone’s patience with the printing and mailing process -- because of certain printing service issues (there were several failed attempts at communication with my initial choice of printing service, a missing parcel and many, many misprints...) much time went into changing printing services and waiting for deliveries.

The first photo: The printing service I’m currently with sent me a (unfortunately very blurry, sorry!) photo of the test print that’s on its way to me for inspection. Some colour edits might have to be made to the cover and inner pages before finalisation, but we’ll see. (I promise I’ll have a better photo of the cover when I physically have the samples, haha.)

The next two photos: These are photos of the sticker sheet (that one has yet to be kisscut) + postcards. Bok/marrickan@tumblr has been a MASSIVE help with the overall process and is currently handling the sticker kiss-cutting for me.

Many apologies for the wait, we hope to get mailing as soon as possible! More updates to come.

Physical Preorders Closed, Digital Sales Upcoming, More Updates

This is a late announcement but -- preorders are closed now! Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support, it cannot be more appreciated.

I’m currently in the process of obtaining and readying everything for shipment -- postcards and stickers are making their way from their printers. Hopefully some preview photos will be uploaded soon!

Big apologies about the delay of digital copy sales, because of life circumstances it has been put on hold but I hope to finish setting that up as soon as possible.

Thanks so much!!

Thanks to everyone, we definitely have enough to donate a decent amount to a selected charity.

If you haven’t yet and have a short moment to spare, please consider voting for a charity that our leftover funds can go towards!

Have a wonderful day!
