Good evening, all. I am once again, unfortunately, posting this in light of bad news regarding this project. The finance/shipping mod has been unreachable since early September, and since I have no access to the funds or merch they’ve ordered, I am unable to refund buyers, reorder the merch, or find a replacement to fulfill the orders.

I and many others involved with zines they’re participating in have attempted to contact Miles in all possible ways including email, Discord DM, telephone call, and letter mail, none of which have been successful. Due to the inability to reach Miles, Ex Astris, Scientia, and most other projects they are involved with are unable to continue. 

I am unfortunately unable to attest to Miles’s well being, and unable to conclude if the projects they were involved were scammed, or if Miles is having issues regarding their physical health.

Please accept my deepest apologies for the failure of this zine; I’m extremely disappointed with the way the situation has devolved, and I regret failing to take precautions regarding finances, a mistake I will never again repeat. 

All digital orders will be fulfilled, and the PDF will be provided for all buyers. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding this update, and thank you for following this zine.

have you ever been able to get into contact with miles or figure out what happened?

Hello! Unfortunately, we haven't heard from miles but still hope that they will reappear.

Uhhhhhh are we gonna get refunds for physical orders? Cause a PDF is great, but not what I paid for, yknow?

Hello, please refer to our pinned post here. I am unable to issue refunds because I do not have access to the Stripe account. I apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately, there is simply nothing I can do in this situation.

Hello everyone, unfortunately, I have some bad news regarding the progress of this project.

Our finance/shipping mod Miles hasn't checked in for over a month. I'm sure they have their reasons for this, but the lack of communication over the past few months has been unacceptable and frustrating for us all, and I cannot see this project being completed with things progressing as they are now.

I am currently searching for a potential candidate to fulfill these duties so we can finally mail out the zines as promised, albeit an extra couple weeks of delay. The zine funds along with all the merch & zines will be transferred so we can complete this project.

I'm extremely sorry for the trouble this has caused for everyone involved and if you have any concerns, feel free to shoot us an ask!

hi! do you guys have a general time period of when shipping will start? I'm so excited to receive my copy :)

Hi, thanks for your question! The zines will most likely ship in late September; we're currently still waiting on the physical zine to arrive before we can start sending the bundles out.

Thank you for your patience!

Captain reporting in.

First of all, we apologize for the sparse updates, things have been very slow on our and our manus’ ends lately, but we bring (somewhat) good news! Some of our items were delayed due to formatting issues including the zine itself (not good news, keep reading), but we’re working to fix these problems as soon as possible, and hopefully start shipping before the end of August (there it is).

Thank you all again for your patience, and feel free to reach out to us via the ask function if you have any questions/concerns!

Hello! We plan to ship before April, but on the chance that shipping gets delayed, you can request to update your address via Tumblr ask or email.
