About
Interest checks ran from August 20 to August 27, 2019[1]. Applications for artists, writers, and merch artists opened from September 23 to October 14, 2019[2]. Results were sent out by October 24th[3]. The zine's team launched a brief open call for anyone with modding experience on March 8, 2020[4].
Preorders opened on June 19, 2020 with the following pricing tiers[5]:
- Keykids Bundle ($10 USD) - Digital Zine
- Moogle Bundle ($18 USD) - Digital Zine, Icons, Coloring Pages, Wallpapers, Extra Short STory
- Dandelions Bundle ($20 USD) - Physical Zine
- Foretellers Bundle (30 USD) - 3 Charms, 4 Stickers, Print
- Masters Bundle ($45 USD) - Physical Zine, 3 Charms, 4 Stickers, Print
The Moogle Bundle was announced later on June 23, 2020, as an unlockable from a Twitter share campaign, and would be included with all preexisting Keykid Bundle purchases[6]. The digital bundle was also available as an add-on to the Masters Bundle for $10 USD[7]. Preorders for physical bundles ended on July 31, 2020, while digital zines were still open for orders until physical zines ship out in September 2020[8][9].
Shipping of physical bundles began on August 31, 2020 to September 2nd[10]. Digital orders were sent out on September 5th. Leftover sales ran from November 23 to December 21, 2020[11].
The zine was officially closed on January 4, 2020, announcing $134.58 USD in donations to the Lakota People's Law Project[12]. This charity was chosen by majority vote among the contributors, and the amount came from contributors who did not want payment or could not receive payment.
