==About==
Interest check for a SoRiku fashion zine opened on April 13, 2021https://twitter.com/sorikuintune/status/1381879636964077570. The zine's social media accounts described the project as a "story about the 2 on a romantic time travel adventure discovering queer expression through history". The zine would be split-profit, meaning a portion of the final sales would be donated to charity, while the rest would go to contributorshttps://twitter.com/sorikuintune/status/1398364399669334023. At first, the organizers had planned to open mod applications, but by May 5th, they walked back this decision when all the mod roles were able to be filled before opening applicationshttps://twitter.com/sorikuintune/status/1390142148234944512.

The zine was planned to close preorders on February 22, 2022.
