About

Interest checks began in March 9, 2020 to March 30, 2020, while mod applications ran from March 17, 2020 to April 1, 2020. After mod applications closed at the beginning of April, the project was announced to be on hiatus on April 21, 2020 due to the pandemic with the following message:

Hey guys! I’ve got a couple announcements for you all— but I’d like to precede this post first by thanking all the people who applied to help moderate this project, and apologize profusely in making you wait for the results.

Unfortunately, after careful deliberation, I’ve decided to postpone the project, as I’ve realized that running a zine amongst the current issue of the, you know, global plague. probably isn’t the wisest choice of action right now. I speak from experience when saying that it’s actually kind of A Bad Idea.

But don’t worry— Out of Tartarus will carry on, just a little bit later than originally planned. Thank you all again for sticking with me, and I hope you decide to stick around a little longer until we get back on our feet.[1]

On September 27, 2020, a separate announcement was made to announce the project's return by with a new interest check[2] that went until March 31, 2021.
