Glazed Moon is a for-profit vintage-ads-inspired fanzine focused on the location Liyue from Genshin Impact.

About

The project was announced on May 25, 2021. The interest check ran from May 30, 2021 to June 25, 2021, garnering 332 responses - some statistics from which were posted on Twitter. Contributor applications ran from July 5, 2021 to August 5, 2021, garnering 407 artist applications, 128 merch artist applications, and 58 writing applications.

Preorders were open from January 25, 2022 to March 12, 2022, 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. 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.

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. 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. All preorders were announced as shipped September 15, 2022. Leftover sales ran from October 15, 2022 to November 10, 2022. All leftovers were shipped and the project announced officially wrapped on November 29, 2022.
