- ^ Twitter post on April 3, 2021: Hi! What were the results of the interest check? — Hello! We had over 60 responses on our interest check - our goal number was 50, as this is a slightly smaller project both in contributor count and financing.

- ^ [1]: 🌸Question from our Interest Check: "Can minors apply as contributors?" 🌸Answer: Yes, minors can apply. However, since this is a for-profit project minors will NOT be able to receive payment for their work, only a contributor copy of the zine. Follow up: 🌸If a contributor turns 18 before payments are sent to contributors (around August 2021), then yes, they will be able to receive payment! If your birthday is extremely close to the date we plan on sending out payments, we can discuss on a case by case basis.
