About
The project was announced on May 25, 2021[1]. The interest check ran from May 30, 2021 to June 25, 2021[2], garnering 332 responses - some statistics from which were posted on Twitter. Contributor applications ran from July 5, 2021 to August 5, 2021[3], garnering 407 artist applications, 128 merch artist applications, and 58 writing applications[4].
Preorders were open from January 25, 2022 to March 12, 2022[5], with the following pricing tiers:
- Archaic Scrolls ($15 USD): PDF
- Primordial ($25 USD): Physical Zine
- Mingxing's Marvels ($40 USD): Physical Zine + Prints + Sticker Sheet + Charm + Washi Tape + Metal Bookmark
- Wanwen's Best-Seller ($55 USD): Physical Zine + Prints + Sticker Sheet + Charm + Washi Tape + Metal Bookmark + Wooden Pin + Chopsticks
PDF add-ons for physical tiers were available for $5 USD.
The zine did a merch collaboration with Fleurette, a flower-themed Genshin zine, where anyone making orders that included the physical zine from both zines would get a bonus sticker of Genshin character Keqing in the Fleurette zine delivery[6]. The Glazed Moon zine Twitter also hosted a promotional giveaway of a Welkin Moon (a 30-day Genshin Impact in-game paid currency subscription) during the preorder period[7].
Four stretch goals were included in the project: a rubber stamp at 50 sales, an enamel pin at 100 sales, a letter set at 150 sales, and foil for the zine cover at 190 sales. By February 20, 2022, all four stretch goals had been unlocked[8]. The first and fourth stretch goals were applicable to all physical orders, while the second and third were only for the Mingxing's Marvels and Wanwen's Best-Seller tiers.
Zine fulfillment experienced some delays due to transit issues, with an update posted July 28, 2022[9]. All preorders were announced as shipped September 15, 2022[10]. Leftover sales ran from October 15, 2022 to November 10, 2022[11]. All leftovers were shipped and the project announced officially wrapped on November 29, 2022[12].
