Hi all!! I'm unfortunately here with less than amazing news, but I know there's a history of people not getting what they've paid for in this fandom and I just wanted to be transparent. The Monster AU physical copies are all definitely still being printed, and I'm attaching an image of the receipt here as proof that the order has been lodged and paid for already.

(the blacked-out area is just the address of the fulfillment facility.)

Unfortunately, there's been a lot of printing and formatting issues that are causing significant delays. I'm going to tentatively say that the books should start getting sent out to their customers by mid-late March, which is much later than I hoped and I'm genuinely very sorry about the wait.

As for the pre-ordered Hollanov merch - the delays regarding this merchandise is less severe, but the recent Lunar New Year meant that my manufacturer took two weeks off this month for the holiday. Because of this, manufacturing on the keychains and standee-bookends is behind schedule but will definitely progress quickly now that the Lunar New Year celebrations are coming to a close.

Once again, if you all have any more specific problems with your orders, please send information about the problem and your order number to this email:

help@whitesquirrel.com

Thank you for all your patience! I'm very sorry about the delays, and I'm hoping to rectify them all soon.

Thank you for the update, but no worries. I paid because I love the artwork and illustrations along with the storyline you have made. I'm happy to wait a bit more for *chefs kiss* perfection

Thank you for the update! I rather wait then get a bad copy send out. ☺️ You are doing the right thing!

Thanks for the update! I’d rather have a full well printed book come than a bad one! I don’t mind the wait, just excited for the payoff.

I didn't even order anything (I was broke that week, praying one day you release another preorder of the comic 😭), but your transparency is so refreshing in a community that has had a huge lack thereof in the last calender year 💕

Battle Bunny

Thank you so much for updating everyone and don’t worry too much about wait times. I’d rather wait than have it rushed. It deserves a little patience I think 👌

We appreciate you, and I think I can speak for all of us in saying thank you for the transparency, and we'd rather have it done right and wait a bit longer!

2200 books! Omg! Understandable you want them to be the best they can 🩷

ghosthaslostit

Don't even worry about it, Gira!! It's totally understandable that there are kinks to work out with this. Thank you for the update though!

Simon

Thank you for the transparency! I would rather wait than have a rushed product. Thank you for your attention to detail

Tired_loaf

I appreciate you being transparent! Manufacturing is always complicated and I would be surprised if you didn’t have any delays. I’m still super excited to get the books even if I have to wait a little longer.

Ruviks Cube

Look, I'll be honest, when I preorder things I forget I bought anything so something randomly comes in the mail as a little treat. The delay just means my treat comes later. Don't sweat it!

Hunter

Thank you for being so transparent Gira 💜

EmpressCirque

Thank you for the update - to be honest I wasn’t worried and I share the sentiment with a few others saying they forget about preorders until they actually arrive like a memory wiped treat for later, but I definitely understand the caution and need to express transparency after what happened last year. I know I appreciate it and the effort you’re putting in.

Hermione !!

Leah Marsters-Skerry (Lady Armageddon)

Thank you for being so transparent about this! As someone who lost a lot of money in the previous zine debacles, I appreciate it. However I wasn’t worried! ❤️❤️

Lacrypanties

I am holding your face gently and saying this with my whole chest: Do not lump yourself in with those shitty scammers. I appreciate the transparency and love that you post updates but I need you to know that you are an outstanding person and if people *didn't* trust you, they wouldn't be here! I'm cool with waiting a little longer if it means we get quality products 💜

AuraKirsch

I appreciate the transparency, but where you’re concerned with delivering on merchandise I never worry. It’ll take time, but I’m happy to wait for a well made final piece.

Kayle

I would wait years!! For your merch it’s always well worth the wait!!thank you for being transparent!!❤️❤️

zerosconsort
