Days after its announcement, an interest check was made livehttps://twitter.com/brosong_zine/status/1636759495887187968. Applications for artists, digital merch artists, and writers opened on April 4, 2023https://twitter.com/brosong_zine/status/1643282290712145922. The project's charity of choice was also announced on this day to be United Plant Savershttps://twitter.com/brosong_zine/status/1643247702732423169. After closing applications on April 25th, acceptance and rejection emails were sent out on May 6thhttps://twitter.com/brosong_zine/status/1654943018686840833.

The zine organizers announced on November 5, 2023, that $950.92 USD was donated to United Plant Savershttps://twitter.com/brosong_zine/status/1721168943866380504.

==Rejected Contributor Incident==
On May 7, 2023, JDWrites, a contributor who had been previously accepted onto the project, posted on Twitter a screenshot of an email from the mods terminating their participation on the zine. The email cited that JDWrites had committed "previous transgressions" and "harassed others over racism, specifically antisemitism"https://twitter.com/actualadultjd/status/1655268521541001217. On the same day, the mod team issued the following statement on the project's Twitter account:
The email was likely in reference to JDWrites's contentious "World War Era A/B/O" series, which the contributor has previously garnered criticism for depicting sex with Nazi soldiers and in particularly became relevant when JDWrites had previously participated in online arguments about permitting all kinds of fiction.
