The project was announced on March 6, 2021https://twitter.com/dahliazine/status/1368335292676136963. Interest checks went live on March 13, 2021 and ended on March 31https://twitter.com/dahliazine/status/1370820205744652290. The project reported over 60 responses made to the interest checkTwitter 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..
Contributor applications for writers, merch artists, and illustration artists ran from April 3 to April 30, 2021https://twitter.com/dahliazine/status/1378374630612811778. An answered question noted that minors were allowed to apply as contributors but they could not receive payment for their work: 🌸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..
