Happy Holidays everyone!
We hope you are doing well! First, thank you so much for your continued support of the Drops of Moonlight Zine Charity Project. Although the project has gone on for much longer than planned due to multiple hiccups that we have faced, we are still committed to have the physical and digital bundles distributed to those who have pre-ordered them. Once the hiccups listed below are resolved, we will be reaching out to those (contributors and supporters) who pre-ordered a bundle to collect shipping and handling, and ship everything out! With that, included below is a summary list of previous updates re: the current Murphy's Law poo that is holding the project up:
We're still missing 2/5th of the shipment of the printed volume. Production had been in delay because of the paper crisis and they arrived in increments slowly batch by batch. We bought from a small family-run vendor and they glue the covers by hand. We've been getting them in smaller batches, and two batches have yet to arrive. They don't ever update us re:status, but they have been consistent.
Our sticker order was lost in the mail. We're fighting with FedEx on whose fault this is. We have had to pay double customs to have it re-enter its country of origin and make the trip again, which is ongoing, and are trying to get reimbursed by FedEx, which is a lengthy process.
The coloring books arrived late and with faulty covers, and after much discussion with the company, it appears that the fault was entirely our own. One of our mods is paying for 400 new covers out of their own pocket and will fix them by hand.
Our local washi vendor pulled out and went bankrupt and radio silent. This was a huge problem both for budget and for getting a new one. We have one finally lined up, production has begun.
Booth has refunded part of our orders because it took too long, meaning our funds have further shrunk. We're in talks with Booth to save the rest. It's in Japanese so only one mod could handle it, and this is not the easiest.
The domain for our website was paid for two years and that was the time and funding allotted in the budget. These two years are up. We didn't notice that for the longest while, and then when we did, things like Booth happened, and we decided against renewing the domain so late in the game. We plan to ship the orders with Shopify and the portion of Booth orders that have not yet been refunded.
A few mods we won't name are on extended hiatus for critical life events that we won't call out for privacy, and because this project has gone on for much longer than anyone on the team has anticipated or consented to/planned for. This means the rest of the work is falling on fewer shoulders. Tasks and responsibilities have subsequently changed amongst the mod team since 2020; for instance, we don't have a mod in charge of communications right now and haven't had one in a while, which you do clearly notice.
We make all decisions together as a team, which makes us democratic and also slow. We react to things only together but it means we wait out mod meetings across four time zones for nodding off on all decisions.
Everything else is ready, layouted, translated, linked to, hosted online, printed, lined up, and arrived. Once everything else lines up/arrives, we will be reaching out to those who pre-ordered a physical bundle to collect shipping and handling, and then ship them out.
We realize that the timing of everything has not been ideal. We did not realize we bit off more than we could chew when we took this project on… and none of us Mods plan to take on anything like this ever again as all of us are doing this on our own time. We thank you for your continued support and wish you all a safe holiday season!
Love,
The Drops of Moonlight Zine Mod Team

Happy Holidays!
皆さまお元気でお過ごしでしょうか。まず初めに、いつも「月の雫」チャリティー・プロジェクトをご支援いただきありがとうございます。このプロジェクトは、さまざまな不運が重なったことにより予定よりかなり長引いていますが、ご予約いただいた皆様に、ZINEバンドルとデジタルバンドルをお届けすることをお約束します。下記の問題が解決した時点で、バンドル版を予約してくださった方々(寄稿者の皆さま、サポーターの方々)に連絡を取りZINEたちを発送する予定です。下記に記すのはこれまでこのプロジェクトの妨げとなってしまったことがらに関する過去のアップデートの要約です:
印刷会社より全量の2/5の出荷を未だ受け取っていません。製紙危機のために生産が遅れ、製本されたZINEが少量ずつ到着しています。今回購入したのは家族経営の小さな印刷会社で、彼らは手作業で表紙を糊付けしています。ZINEは少量のロットで納品されており、あと2つのバッチの到着を待っている状況です。
付録のシールで完成品の紛失がありました。国際輸送中に行方がわからなくなってしまったため、現在輸送会社のFedexと責任の所在を明らかにしようとしています。原産国から再度入国させるために関税を二重に支払う必要があり予算にも影響を与えるものでしたが、皆さまへ発送するためこれらの対応は現在も進行中です。
塗り絵の納品が遅れ、また表紙に欠陥がありました。印刷会社と確認した結果、どうやら私たちの責任であることが判明したため、モデレーターのひとりが、自腹で400冊分の新しい表紙を購入し、手作業で表紙を付け直している最中です。
マスキングテープを発注した地元の業者は倒産し、音信不通となりました。新しい業者に再発注する必要があり予算的にも大きな問題でしたが、ようやく1社が決まり、生産が始まりました。
発送まで期間が空きすぎたため、BOOTHで注文の一部がキャンセルとなりました。予約してくださった皆さまには申し訳ありませんでした。まだ残っている注文に関してはキャンセル期限延長をBOOTHと交渉中です。日本語対応可能なモデレーターがひとりで対応にあたっています。
私たちのウェブサイトはドメイン料が2年間支払われており、それが予算上割り当てられた時間と資金でしたが、この2年間が終了しました。そのことに長い間気づかず、気づいたときにはブースのようなことが起きていて、ドメインの更新はす��きではないと判断しました。Shopifyでの注文と、Boothでの注文のうちまだ返金されていない分については必ず発送する予定です。
このプロジェクトは、主催チームの誰もが予想し、同意し、計画したよりもはるかに長く続いています。モデレーターの何人かは私生活での緊急を要する事態によりプロジェクトを離れる必要があり、残りの仕事は少ない肩の上に乗っています。例えば、しばらくコミュニケーション担当のモデレーターが不在であることにお気づきの方も多いと思います。
私たちはチームとしてすべての決定を下すので、民主的であると同時に時間が掛かります。私たちは共に物事に対処しますが、それは4つのタイムゾーンにまたがって主催ミーティングを開催し、すべての決定でそれぞれが同意する必要があることを意味しています。
それ以外のすべてについては、準備を進め、レイアウトし、翻訳し、リンクを貼り、オンラインでホストし、印刷し、並べ、到着しています。すべての材料が揃い/到着し次第、ZINEバンドルを予約注文してくれた人たちに連絡を取り順次発送していく予定です。
すべてが理想的なタイミングではなかったことはもちろん承知しています。このプロジェクトを発足したとき、自分たちが扱い切れる以上のものを発案したことに気づいていませんでした。皆さまにはご心配をお掛けし本当に申し訳なく思っています。皆さまの変わらぬご支援に、心から、感謝いたします。
愛をこめて、
月の雫ZINE 主催チーム

the drops of moonlight zine nightmare
hello all, long time no post! you may remember (probably vaguely at this point) that i was participating in a Sailor Moon zine called Drops of Moonlight. you may also be aware that this zine has still not been released.
unfortunately at this point, i feel compelled to share that in addition to the long wait and lack of communication, the zine's organizers have repeatedly insulted and belittled their contributors. i've put together the following Google Doc with information detailing the general poor conduct of the organizers of this zine.
if i could go back and not touch this zine with a 40 foot pole, i sure would! thanks for reading!

Look who’s back with another zine project~ I had the honor of being a part of Candy Hearts Zine, a special Valentine’s Day project within the Sailor Moon fandom! A ton of awesome artists and writers came together to contribute artwork, writings, and various merch for the collection. It's all so cute and so very colorful too.
Here’s a sneak at a short comic I made about my favorite royal couple spending the holiday with one another. I’ve always wanted to explore Minako and Usagi living together and just doing cute stuff on a day to day basis, so thank you to the zine creators for giving me the kick in the butt to finally do this.
Preorders are up until March 14th. Please consider giving the link a look and if you could, reblog their posts to spread the word! Every lil bit helps us out, so thank you in advance!

JANUARY 2023 UPDATE ||| 2023年1月更新
Tumblr media
We have some amazing news… after a lot of problems with our vendors and the paper (as you've been aware of), we’ve finally placed the orders for all of our merchandise (including pins and the physical zine). The time for the printing process will vary between items, but once we receive all of the merchandise, we will begin reaching out to contributors and supporters via email to pay for the shipping and the handling so that we can ship the bundles out to you. At this time, we do not have an estimate for the shipping and handling as prices can fluctuate and are individual to shipping destination. Please be sure to lookout for the shipment communication in the future. Thank you.

皆様にはベンダー変更とそれに起因する生産の遅れについてご心配をお掛けしておりましたが、このたび、印刷会社へ全ての商品の発注が完了しました。印刷工程にかかる時間はアイテムによって異なりますが、全ての商品を印刷会社から受け取り次第、購入いただいた皆様にメールでお知らせする予定です。また送料と手数料のお支払いに関する内容も合わせてご連絡いたします(現時点では各地への送料および手数料に関して個別に見積もりを出すことはしておりませんので、ご了承ください)。それでは出荷のお知らせまでもうしばらくお待ちいただければと思います。
