i feel bad asking this but are refunds possible?

Hi there, sorry for the delayed response! Please email us [email protected] so we can sort out that refund for you directly.

Hi! I plan to buy the zine but im not sure if ill be able to buy it before the preorder ends. may I ask, if ever there is a leftover sale, will the stretch goal merch still be included if I buy the full bundle?

Anonymous Oumoter · 7mo

Will the leftovers add the stretch goals in the bundles or a la carte even if we can’t currently reach them?

Hi there, we will only be ordering the stretch goals that are reached during our preorders period. Everything will be available a la carte when leftover sales are open. I hope this makes sense.

Hello! I'd love to order, but I live in Japan. Is it still possible to buy?

Anonymous Oumoter · 7mo

Is there gonna be an after-sale/leftover sale once the zine is finished? I really want to purchase the full bundle but I won't be able to by the time the preorder ends but I'm not sure if there's gonna be a second chance.

Would you guys sell any merchandise a la carte?

For our preorders period, we will only be offering the option to purchase items in bundles. However, when we open preorders, we'll be offering items a la carte. Thank you for your interest!

is the digital version of the previous oumota zine available anywhere?

Hello, sorry, we will not be selling the previous Oumota zine as many of the artists involved are no longer involved in the project and we don't have the right to profit off their work without consent. We hope this makes sense.

is there an estimate of how many contributors will be accepted?

As written in the "FAQ" section of our carrd, exact numbers will vary based on the applications, but we plan to accept around 5 writers, 20-25 page artists, and 4-5 merch artists.

Anonymous Oumoter · 1y

When will results be announced?

As per our schedule, which can be found on our carrd, result emails will be sent out on February 18th.

Anonymous Oumoter · 1y

for the applications, are samples just examples of our work and do they have to be oumota related?

You can see more detailed guidelines around what we expect for your samples on the "Application Guidelines" section of our carrd. But yes, they are just examples of your work. Oumota-related samples are not mandatory but recommended so we know how you depict them.

I was wondering if comic/ mural format would be allowed for the Page artist section, or you can only draw an illustration of a specific scene.

You're in luck; our art mod, Cael, specialises in mural-style pieces and we'll be open to a wide range of artistic styles so long as all pieces fit within our theme! We will be featuring comics and spreads as well, however we will only have so many pages allotted for artists to do multi-page comics or spreads, so these will be assigned based on pitches/thumbnails once contributors are accepted into the project. Hope that answers your question!

would anything related to pregame count as a canon divergence?

Not for this project, no. All pieces will take place within the killing game (or potentially afterwards, depending on the pitch.)

Anonymous Oumoter · 1y

What would be the desired word count for an application?

Hello! As written in our application guidelines (located on the "Application Guidelines" tab on our carrd) your fic samples should be at least 1,000 but not exceeding 2,500 words. This length is also what we will expect of writers who are accepted into the project. Thank you for your interest!

Anonymous Oumoter · 1y

If I’m interested as a cover and merch artist, do I have to email you my portfolio? Thank you for this opportunity!

You can apply for contributor positions once we open our applications on January 7th. Bear in mind we might be inviting our cover artist rather than accepting applications for the position (we will ultimately decide on all guest positions a month from now) but you will have the opportunity to show us your portfolio via the application forms we post. I hope this helps!

how many responses have you gotten on the interest check as of seeing this ask? :3

89! We'll feel most confident going physical if we receive over 100 responses. Please share the interest check with anyone you know who loves Oumota!
