After resolving some technical difficulties, the store is now back online… and will remain open for another week!
To give you guys a bit of extra time to get a copy and to try to reach our final stretch goal, our preorders will now be open until MARCH 7 @ 11:59 PM PST.
Don’t miss out on these DabiHawks goodies from some incredibly talented artists and writers! And thank you all for being patient with us while our shop was down for the weekend.
Preorders for METAMORPHOS — A DabiHawks AU Zine — are now closed! Thank you all so much for your overwhelming support! Thanks to you guys, we managed to reach over 200 orders and unlock all 5 stretch goals. We’ll keep you updated during production!
While we may not have physical orders up for preorders anymore, we’ll still have our digital PDF options available throughout production for anyone who missed out.
We’ll also return with leftovers at a later time for individual items!
Guys guys !! Preorders for the great fanzine I have the luck to be part of are openning now and it’s end the 31th March !! GO GO !! It’s fullfil of great talented animation students from all over France !!
There still isn’t an end to all of this in sight, but we managed to meet up with my parents so they can bring us all the zines!
We have started putting them into bundles, sorting adresses and names and counted, to make sure they’re all there.
We will start shipping the bundles out next week! Not all at once since our local post office doesn’t exist anymore since about the middle of the pandemic and we now have to bring the packages to the small supermarket here, but I hope to have shipped out everything by the end of January!
As I’ve told the team already: Good news and bad news.
Good news first:
The zines arrived and they are looking amazing!!
Here’s some pics:
Now to the bad news:
I didn’t take these pics; my mom did, because I ordered them to my parents place in Germany since the company is German and didn’t ask for shipping inside of the country.
We, the mods, live in Switzerland and here’s the hang up:
We are getting massive amounts of covid cases again, so Switzerland is now on Germanys quarantine list.
We can’t get the books, so we can’t send them.
I am very sorry, but I will have to wait AGAIN and it will be longer until we can ship them out.
Still, at least all of it is here so we are already a big step closer!
Hello folks!! The orders have FINALLY gone through and are supposed to arrive around the 13th of October! As soon as the zines arrive I will send photos to show you, I am very excited about this! Again: They are A5, Hardcover.
I really, really hope there won’t be any more delays or problems, as soon as they arrived I will try to send them off at once. It might be a little difficult because I’m rushing from doctors appointment to doctors appointment at the moment, but I promise I will do everything I can!
Again, I am absolutely grateful to all of you amazing people for being patient and enduring this endless wait.
Here is what’s going to happen next:
1. The zines arrive, get checked over and packaged with the merch. 2. The packages get sent. 3. I will be waiting a month and a half for any news and questions. If there aren’t any anymore I will decide if I close the askbox and messaging. The blog won’t be deleted but I won’t be active on it anymore.
Working on this has shown me that I’m not the person to organize something like a zine. I’ve made loads of mistakes over the course of aDaaD and while I did learn from them, I don’t think I would be the person to lead another. This has been so much fun, too, though, and I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to do this!
Thanks and see you soon with more positive updates!
Hello guys, I know it’s been a long time since I (and all of you) ordered and I want to apologize.
Something really stupid happened and I should have realized this much sooner than I did.
I was wondering why I wasn’t getting any notifications for the production and shipping, but the last time I ordered it took around 3 months for everything to be printed and sent so I wasn’t too worried.
Turns out I should have put more thoughts into this, as I just realized I had gotten an email from the production company a while back, that ended up in my spam folder.
A few files are faulty and cannot be printed as they are.
I will have to go over the ZIP folder again and change them up and then send in the files again.
This should only take a day, but I suspect I won’t have the zines to be sent off until the end of march.
I am very sorry, this was a horribly rookie mistake of mine.

P.S.
There is at least ONE nice thing going according to the plan so far and that is that the buttons are already here and they look wonderful!
This past week we have had so many excited people reblogging our posts and asking about the zine and we have gotten quite many requests to extend the pre-orders!
I know I said today would really be the last day but the contributors and I agree that we will prolongate again until the end of this week!
This means you have another 5 days to order yourself a copy! I thank everyone who shows so much interest in this project, thank you so much!
Last time extending the date now; Get your copy until the 22nd of December!
