A more thorough transparency from the project's contributors than I am able to give at this time. It has been a difficult few months for our family, and I apologize for the resulting negligence and lack of responsibility this led to. Please ensure to read through it, and support the contributors in their future endeavours.

LEGACIES: a Batgirl zine has come to a close. While it technically wrapped up in November, there were severe personal complications before the holidays that resulted in the late conclusion of this project, so I apologize immensely to anyone who might have been waiting on another round of leftovers that I had not already touched base with.

For those of you who I have not already spoken to via email this month: this is Kye's mother, and I am finalizing things on my daughter's behalf as she has not been fit for the responsibility. I apologize wholeheartedly for the delay and unfair communication issues this has resulted in.

All remaining physical leftovers were shipped out at the end of October, and have been safely delivered by mid-November at the latest, as far as tracking and communication with customers indicates.

Digital Bundles were emailed out at the start of November, so if you have not received it, check spam, junk or promotions folders for your goods.

If you have had issues receiving either of the above, do not hesitate to reach out at [email protected] with questions.

With that, the project is a wrap. It has been a long one, for which we cannot apologize enough, or thank you for your patience and sticking with it, and ultimately supporting this project and its showcase of the Batgirls.

Please remember to give all the writers and artists involved love on the pieces they have posted, and the incredible work they put into this. It would not exist without them, and they worked hard not only through the project itself, but through several months of a difficult wrap-up process wherein they were forcibly left to wait without updates as well. Please send them your kind words on their pieces, as you have done through the project's email or direct messages throughout its run.

Thank you for your time, and for your support.

Hi! I love the zine, and would have loved a full bundle but only found it after preorders closed. Do you know if there will be leftover sales, and if so, when they might be and if bundles will be available? Thank you! :)

Hi there!

Leftover sales are scheduled to go live today (likely early afternoon EST), and there'll be an announcement post once they are! It'll run until October 20th, or until things sell out!

There will be only a few book bundles available, but there'll be merch bundles and and everything else individually!

Hello, Batfans!

Mod Kye here.

First and foremost, thank you so much for your patience, and my sincerest apologies for how long this has all taken to wrangle together. I have a handful of long-awaited updates below on previous delays, digital copies today, wrap-up and leftover sales, so please read carefully!

To start, I'd like to issue an apology for the delays this project has suffered over the course of its run and offer a bit of transparency. This year was unexpectedly very hard personally and health-wise, and without going into detail about illness for the sake of sensitivity, took me out of contact on several weeks-long stretches and occasions, leaving my team in the dark without news—and by extension all of you. Such long radio silence and delays are not what you want in a project that deals with people's money, trust and time, and I know it's been frustrating, and for that I'm so sorry. My lack of communication was difficult and monumentally unfair for everyone involved, and I wanted to take a moment to thank Mods Ari and Michi, as well as Kait, for working behind the scenes to keep things running, to update all of you when they could, and for going above and beyond in ways there aren’t words for, when I was unable or unwilling to step up. If any readers are in the zine scene (as regular buyers, or as contributors yourselves) and see them on a project in the future, please check it out, because they’re a force like no other, and will make an amazing experience out of anything they run. They are, quite frankly, the only reason this project was started and finished, and deserve all the support you guys have sent and more for what they went through and accomplished despite the difficulties I caused them, our contributors, and our timeline to you, our customers.

Order Fulfillment

All customer orders were mailed out June 2nd. As I was unable to update BigCartel with tracking at the time, it meant that most of you were not notified. I’m incredibly sorry. I’ve spoken to a handful of folks about their packages this week, but from our internal shipping system, it appears everything was safely delivered. If you have not received your package, or have had any issues with your delivery, please touch base with me at [email protected] about your order!

Contributor bundles will be going out this weekend, which means it’s time for…

Digital Bundles

An email with a direct link to our wonderful digital bundles will follow this update that just went out in about an hour just to please email spam servers, so please keep your eyes peeled and on your inboxes if you're waiting on that! If you have any issues receiving it, make sure you check spam/junk folders first and then reach out so I can help ensure you receive it!

And Finally, Leftovers!

Last but certainly not least, a final announcement for anyone with a friend or loved one eagerly awaiting getting their hands on the cool book and wicked merch they saw you get recently. Our leftover sales will be opening Wednesday, September 20th! If you know someone who missed out on sales the first time around and would love to support this incredible project, please spread the word—or if you’d like to grab an extra keychain for your collection, we’ll see you then!

A separate post with a full announcement will be made tomorrow to circulate just so it doesn't get lost in the update here.

Thank you so much for reading this far, and for sticking with us and supporting this project.

Hi batfans! Mod Kye with a big update featuring photos of our book, all our acrylics, and our pins!

Let me start by thanking everyone immensely for their patience as we work through our unexpected extended production period. I know it hasn’t been easy, and I’m really sorry for how much my health issues have set us back. We’re in the home stretch. With production about to wrap up, I’ll be sending out an address change reminder in the next week or two, just in case anyone has moved during this time!

Photos and videos below the cut:

Our sample book has arrived, and I can’t express enough how much everyone knocked it out of the park! I’ve filmed a flip through, and posted that over on our twitter, since Tumblr isn’t a huge fan of mixing both.

With one or two small tweaks, we expect the full order to be in production this upcoming week, so we’ll have our books very soon! 

Next up is our acrylics, from the standee, to the charm, and finally the shaker!

And last but not least, the badass enamel pin:

And that’s it! Like I mentioned at the start, we’re almost wrapped and ready to ship, so I’ll send out address change reminders soon! Thank you once again for your patience, and we can’t wait to get everything in your hands ASAP.

Heya batfans!

We’re pleased to announce that our book PDF has made it successfully through contributor edits and will soon be off to the printers!

Our shipping/head mod Kye (and our selected printer) is unfortunately recovering from Covid, but as soon as they’re feeling better we will be resuming production, full-steam ahead! Thanks, as always for your grace and patience- we know the final product will be well worth the wait!

Hi everyone, Ari here with a long overdue update.

Let me start with apologizing for the radio silence. This team usually prides ourselves on being open and communicative when it comes to production delays and we, frankly, have failed in that department. I’ll do my best to update you all in the following post:

Hi everyone, Ari here with a long overdue update.

Let me start with apologizing for the radio silence. This team usually prides ourselves on being open and communicative when it comes to production delays and we, frankly, have failed in that department. I’ll do my best to update you all in the following post:

Unfortunately, our Head/Shipping mod Kye’s computer died completely about three weeks ago; they’ve been unable to work on things like graphics and so it’s been a bit of an ordeal getting things back up and running. 

The good news is that our contributors have seen the first draft of our book layout, and have just finished up mentioning edits they need made. Layout mod Michi is working very, very hard between their day job and college work to make the edits, and we should hopefully see the book in production very soon. 

Now the bad news. Because of this, and because of the impending holiday shipping congestion, we will be moving our shipping period to early 2023. I know this is not the news that you want to hear, but we feel like this will make the actual shipping easier on Kye- who will be shipping our bundles solo.

On a personal note, I apologize for not being more communicative about where we are in the process. As people who love the Batgirls and who trusted us with money to deliver on something that celebrates that love, it’s not what you deserve. But we are so genuinely grateful for everyone’s patience thus far.  

We understand that you may be upset by this development, or by the lack of transparency on our end. If that is the case, please feel free to shoot us an email at batgirlszine(@)gmail.com; I’ll be more than happy to do what I can to assuage any fears or concerns you may still have. 

Again, the entire team thanks you for your patience. -Ari

Hey there batfans! 

Mod Ari here with a small production update!

Our mod team collectively has been hit with a combination of illness and computer issues as of late, and we’ve unfortunately had to make the difficult decision to push our shipping schedule back to October.

As of the writing of this update, we’ve ordered and received everything but our books and we’re looking forward to sharing with you once they arrive! 

We appreciate your understanding of this small delay and hope you’re still as excited for the zine as we are!!

Thank you so much for acknowledging Bette in the zine! It means a lot to me as a Bette fan. I love her to pieces and DC is hellbent on burying her. So thank you!

It's our absolute pleasure! The most important of the Batgirl Legacy, to us, is ensuring that all parts of that legacy are respected!! She's an awesome character and it's a shame DC doesn't use her more!
