Treasured Memories is a charity zine for the Kingdom Hearts games.

About

We are the Treasured Memories Zine! This fanzine is dedicated to all the fun, hilarious, and heartwarming quotes in the Kingdom Hearts series. We will feature art and fanfiction based on these memorable moments to celebrate our journey before we get KH3!

All proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project, the leading US national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25. Kingdom Hearts has been a beacon of hope, acceptance, and life for us, and so we want to give back to this good cause.

The zine was announced on July 19, 2018. In a question about mod experience, the mod team answered that all members did not have personal experience with zines and making merchandise, but had friends and contacts who had. Applications were open from July 21st to August 11th.

Preorders opened on December 4, 2018 with the following options:

• PDF Copy
• Physical Book
• Journal
• Book & Merch Bundle

The first 25 orders of the physical zine or journal would include a free sticker sheet. A giveaway for a bonus merch item was hosted from December 18th to December 27, 2018, available for anyone who purchased physical items in the time frame. Merch bundles were sold out by December 28, 2019. Preorders closed on January 4, 2019. The zine's store reopened for digital zine sales from January 16 to January 18, 2019.

Zines were shipped out on January 23, 2019. The project announced a donation of $1,130 USD to The Trevor Project.
