Sincerely Yours

Sincerely Yours was a zine and calendar project slated to feature fanart of the pairing of the characters Miya Atsumu and Sakusa Kiyooomi from Haikyuu!!. The project was dissolved shortly after a slew of production and moderation failures.
==About==
The zine's theme was stated as follows from the FAQ section of the project's carrd:
The zine was specified to be SFW with no planned NSFW add-on and a general confirmation to be for-profit and charityhttps://web.archive.org/web/20211017174829/http://sktszine.carrd.co/. Later on, the mods announced that 25% of the sales would be donated to Colon Cancer Prevention Projecthttps://web.archive.org/web/20220407064805/https://sktszine.carrd.co/.
An additional 2023 calendar project was planned to run concurrent to the zine with a lineup of both artists and writers. This calendar was meant to be purchased separately or as a bundle with the zine.

===Aftermath===
The closure of Sincerely Yours affected the the progress of other zines and fan projects such as Spellbound, High Voltage, and the Haikyuu Calendar 2023. Some members of the mod team for Sincerely Yours were also mods for these other projects around the near same time, sparking concerns among the contributors of these other projects and prompting immediate withdrawals from these projects.
The following are select social media posts discussing the zine's failure and the general implications for zine projects in the future.
