Front Cover: A KHUχ Zine is a charity zine for the Kingdom Hearts χ series.

About

Interest checks ran from August 20 to August 27, 2019. Applications for artists, writers, and merch artists opened from September 23 to October 14, 2019. Results were sent out by October 24th. The zine's team launched a brief open call for anyone with modding experience on March 8, 2020.

Preorders opened on June 19, 2020 with the following pricing tiers:

• 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. The digital bundle was also available as an add-on to the Masters Bundle for $10 USD. 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.

Shipping of physical bundles began on August 31, 2020 to September 2nd. Digital orders were sent out on September 5th. Leftover sales ran from November 23 to December 21, 2020.

The zine was officially closed on January 4, 2020, announcing $134.58 USD in donations to the Lakota People's Law Project. 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.
