Now that the Gumroad is finally closed, and all the money is counted up, the mods of the Milestones Zine are thrilled to announce that we MORE than broke even - the zine made almost $500 USD in surplus!* Thank you SO much to everyone who bought the Zine, and to all our contributors, without whom this would not have been possible.
(*note: $25 USD belonged to the mod who owned the account - an amount which was required to open the account in the first place. It has been deducted from the donated amount and returned to the mod in question.)
THUS, as planned for a surplus, we chose to donate the excess money. The mods decided, in light of the COVID-19 crisis and the international , that we would like to donate to Doctors Without Borders (link to their site).
However, we wanted approval from our contributors before making any final decisions, and sent out a survey accordingly! The results were as follows:
Because the majority of respondents approved of this charity selection, we went ahead and made our contribution: a whopping $482.53 USD! Attached is a screencap of the thank-you from DWB.
Again: thank you SO much for every purchase, pageview, reblog, and retweet given to our zine. And again, from the Zine mods: thank you SO much to the contributors that made this zine and the ensuing donation possible. You all are wonderful, you made this zine an incredible experience, made a final product that was beautiful, and allowed an end result of donation of nearly $500 USD to Doctors Without Borders.
So, for those of you who purchased the zine PDF - it should currently be available in a download link that came from the Gumroad store, sent to the email associated with your purchase!
However, we did just upload the PDF zine to Gumroad recently for PDF+physical-content bundles. Thus, if you have previously received a link to download digital content, the PDF zine should now also be available for download using that same link.
If you did NOT receive a previous email, and you don’t get one soon - please let us know so we can get your PDF copy to you right away!
Thank you!
~Milestones Zine Mods
There have been some technical difficulties with Gumroad, it seems, so we’ve gone with our backup plan and emailed a PDF of the zine directly to those who have ordered one of the physical-merch bundles from the Milestones Zine gmail. (PDF-only orders are as of yet unaffected)
If you have any further trouble accessing it after this - i.e. if you click the shared link and receive an “Access Denied” message, or similar - please request access to the PDF. Google Drive should offer the option for this on the PDF document. Once you click that “request access” button, an admin should be able to correct the problem with no trouble whatsoever.
If you are still experiencing technical difficulties with the PDF portion of your order following this, the zine’s tumblr will be maintained for an as-of-yet indefinite period of time - please feel free to send us an ask. (we will respond privately if you indicate for us to do so)

All bundles and hard copy zines have now been sent! They should be with you soon, but of course, the post is a mess rn so give it a couple weeks before you worry. We would love to hear what you think of the finished product, so let us know! <3
So, you may be wondering if this zine will ever come to light in the midst of this global chaos. And I hope it brings a little brightness to your day when I tell you that I actually sent out all the zine-only orders this morning!
The bundles are being assembled as quickly as possible. Yep, we have them in hand and almost all the merch, and with any luck will get all physical orders sent in the next week!
We’ve had to forego some bells and whistles in packaging, but given how precarious it’s been getting everything together we hope you’ll forgive that. The zine itself is beautiful, and we hope that it brings all of you some joy in a rather grim time.
Thank you all for your patience and support while we pulled this all together. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Not only are are the MilestonesxZine mods going to keep our gumroad store open for just a little while longer (for any last-minute zine orders), but we have also reached enough orders that physical zine copies should be doable for us now!
Thank you all so much for your orders, reblogs, boosts, and contributions to this zine - we’re so excited to finally send it out in print!

Hi all! In honor of Valentine’s Day, the Mod team of the Milestones Zine has put together two new zine bundles!

Valentine’s Bundle #2 - PDF copy, 1 button by wifftins, 2 buttons by kot, 1 print by mornintide, 1 charm by trashsketch and 1 friendship bracelet !
