As anyone who has been shipping packages recently knows, the USPS is really, really, really delayed. 

And, unfortunately, having your packages bounce around for a month (in which 3 are still missing and I’m trying not to cry over here) is not good on said packages as I had one buyer report theirs was ripped open and several books were lost, which included the Langst zine that is made by a separate publisher.

I reached out to that publisher to see if I could get a replacement copy (or copies, if these missing packages never show) at the bulk item cost and they said no, which unfortunately at this point is leading to $48 for a single new copy. I know >> 

I’m incredibly disappointed by that response, but I do have a duty to provide the book so I will be doing so even at that cost. But while I’m giving it some time (in the event I need to order more for these missing packages) I wanted to post here to see if anyone who did not do so earlier (and may have even voted as they wanted to on the poll ^^;) was interested in purchasing a copy of “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” should I reopen them for about a week’s time in January.

The cost would be the same as before; $19 + shipping, and while I can’t give a complete estimate they’d ship mid-late January. 

If you were interested please comment below (or send the page a message) and in the event I reopen for preorders I’m happy to send you a message alerting they are available. 

Thanks :)

Y’all blew me away ;) Because...

WE HIT THE FIRST STRETCH GOAL!

In the overnight hours we had two preorder come in for “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” which propelled us to 25/25 for the first stretch goal, being a zine exclusive fic! ♥ Thank you to all who helped us reach this! If you were in the first 25 orders for the zine look for a little something extra in your package when it arrives ♥

Due to this, preorders will now remain open until Saturday, November 7 at 12:00 pm CST as I will need time to write the zine exclusive fanfic.

But wait, there’s more!

I’m adding a BONUS STRETCH GOAL! Oooohhh ♥ If the zine manages to reach 33 preorders I’ll add in the earlier voted upon Patreon Exclusive fanfiction of The Power of a Hug (platonic Hance feature ♥). 

Just to clarify, preorders have been extended for ALL BOOKS but November 7 will be the final date to purchase any of my works, unless you contact me and we discuss and set something up :) Thank you all for the interest. Please click below to find the bookshop to order your own copy.

Current Langst Zine Stretch Goal: 26/33 (inclusion of Patreon exclusive fic)

“A Collection of Langst Volume Three” Fic List!

Whoot, whoot, our fic list is here for  “A Collection of Langst Volume Three!”

I did end up making some changes to it as originally I had Patreon exclusive fics in it, but after some thought I chose to remove them as that’s not fair to those supporters and readers. I may have one as a later stretch goal, but that would be it. Stretch goals to be announced ~2 weeks.

This time around there will also not be a zine exclusive fic until the zine reaches a certain number of preorders (I’m thinking 25) and then a second zine exclusive fic will be at a higher stretch goal (perhaps 75). That’ll just give us a little more incentive to purchase, help advertise the zine a bit as we can host polls for the zine fics during the process, and it gives me just a little bit of breathing room :)

Real quick; since I had this question a couple times last preorder session; no, unfortunately you cannot order copies of older Langst zine collections as I go through a different publisher for the zines than the books and they don’t accept smaller quantities. Sorry! You do also have to order during the preorder block as I will not be ordering extra stock for after.

And now without further ado, “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” Fic list:

** Not yet published fics

Suffer My Loss

Twisted Kalediscope

Feel Me, See Me (Or Please Please Don’t)

Higher and Higher it Goes

Buried Treasure

Fit to Burst

Always

Quiet Your Pain, Suffer In Silence

Freeze(r)

For the Sake of the Mission

Escape Pod

Unfamiliar Stars

Beneath the Uniform**

[icymakesazine]

This is a Sad Lance.

Help make Lance happy by preordering a copy of “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” so he might help puppies and kitties as proceeds are going to The Anti-Cruelty Society! (And proceeds from Shooting for the Stars will benefit RAINN too!)

And a Happy Lance is one we can all get behind ♥ 

After, a little angst and whump of course ;)

For reference, “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” is at 12/25 for its first stretch goal. When (if? xD) we get closer I’ll post options for the zine exclusive fic :)

[icymakesazine]

40 -  Previously published snippet fics (300 words - 1,000 words) will be sprinkled in throughout the zine (~3-6 stories; likely from Patreon exclusive drabbles :))

[icymakesazine]

Layout all set! If we reach the next stretch goal (currently at 26/33) I’ll have to make some adjustments but otherwise all good to go to the printer :)

I did decide to go with the original printer and pay for the extra costs out of pocket so the third zine will match its fellows both in size as well as colored interior cover and texture of the cover :) The proper way to round out this trilogy :)

1 WEEK LAST CHANCE TO PURCHASE BOOK DRIVE!

ORDER YOUR COPIES OF ICY’S BOOKS HERE!

What’s this? A last chance to purchase several of Icy’s titles? Yes, yes it is.

Let me be clear (especially as I had noted multiple times I would not be doing any further publishing runs), this last chance to purchase event was not planned but there are two factors spurring it:

Several books that shipped out were lost in the mail due to a ripped open package :( So no matter what I will need to order more books to replace those and get them sent back out.

Icy’s fridge/freezer broke on Christmas Eve (thank you, 2020 xD) and she obviously needs to buy a new one ASAP and they are expensive >> 

As such, I will be doing a very quick 1 week book drive event for the titles pictured in my bookshop, ending on Monday, January 4, 2021 at 8pm CST. All books will be ordered the following day with the hope to ship them out mid-late January. 

This will be the absolute LAST CHANCE to purchase any of these titles. This does include the “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” zine, which contains a zine exclusive fic (Caged Nightmare ) that will not be publishing on my AO3 as well as a story in the Short(er) Story Collection Volume Three that will also not be publishing on my AO3. 

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much! ♥

1 Copy Left Each of “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” and “My Favorite Toy!”

As you may have seen, I ended up needing to purchase some additional copies of "A Collection of Langst Volume Three" after the postal service unfortunately lost a copy in transit. Also unfortunate, the price per book for a single reprint copy was insane and to help lower it somewhat I purchased a total of 3 additional copies.

Those 3 copies There is 1 copy left now of the Langst zine and 1 copy left of My Favorite Toy available in my bookshop. The zines contain the exclusive platonic Klance fic Caged Nightmare, with the trope of 'locked in a cage' for Lance. 

Find all of the books in my bookshop here!

POLL: What is Icy writing for the "A Collection of Langst Volume Three" Zine Exclusive Fanfiction?

As you may have seen,  "A Collection of Langst Volume Three" reached its first stretch goal and that means we get a zine exclusive fic! 

Preorders have also now been extended to Saturday, November 7 at 12pm CST so if you wanted to get any of my works be sure to visit the bookshop here and preorder before that time! 

There is also a BONUS STRETCH GOAL that you can read all about here!

But right now I need your help to decide what fic I am writing for the zine exclusive fic. The poll will remain open from now until 9am CST Monday, October 26 so make sure to get your vote in! Please only vote once as we want to keep this fair :)

Poll: Which Patreon Exclusive Fic would you like included in "A Collection of Langst Volume 3" in the event the first stretch goal (25 preorders) is not reached?

I’m trying to remain optimistic, but as we get closer and closer to the closing of preorders (a little over 1 week left) and the numbers for “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” are stuck at 16, I’m forced to be realistic that it’s unlikely we’re going to be making that stretch goal for a zine exclusive fic.

I based the stretch goals upon previous numbers the Langst zine volumes sold (62 and 51, respectively) and felt that 25 was a more than attainable number to include that zine exclusive fic for this run. Sadly, whether it’s COVID, lack of interest or a combination of both, we’re just not there. 

Since I left about 4-5k of space in the zine for this fic and I want to still reward those that did purchase the zine, in the event we do not reach that stretch goal, and I felt the best way to do that was to include another fanfiction but to sweeten it I’ve chosen to select from my Patreon exclusive Fic of the Months :)

Please only vote on the following poll if you have either a; purchased “A Collection of Langst Volume Three” or you are planning to. The options are:

The Chill of Loneliness

Summary: Lance couldn’t be more thrilled. A special mission that only he and the Blue Lion could undertake due to the insanely cold temperatures and a way to further their slowly growing bond? Sign him up! But when the mission goes sideways Lance finds himself all alone with no hope of backup, slowly freezing to death and he can’t find his way back to Blue. He had hoped to prove himself on this mission but… but it looks like all he’s going to do is die instead.

Crimson Puddle

Summary:  Lance tried to stop it. He did. But the blood just keeps coming; gushing, oozing. It’s everywhere now; his leg, his hands, all over the floor. The crimson puddle keeps growing while he only grows weaker, the world going dark and cold and numb. And he never… he never thought he’d die like this.

The Power of a Hug

Summary: A retelling of the fight in “The Depths” where Hunk is stronger, faster, more ruthless and will do anything to keep his queen safe and warm, even if that means hurting his best friend. And where Lance knows if Hunk discovers how badly he hurt him he will never, ever, forgive himself. So there’s only one thing to do: hide his injuries and hope that no one, especially Hunk, ever finds out.

The Warmth of a Scar

Summary: Lichtenberg scars, Hunk explained softly. That was the term they used on Earth to describe the dark lines seared into Lance’s skin from the lightning strike, the strike that had also taken his right eye. Those scars represented pain and loss and despair. But to Allura… they were beautiful. They felt safe. And she hoped she could help Lance to see the same.

VOTE ON THE POLL HERE!

And if you were still interested, you can PREORDER YOUR BOOKS HERE for both the Langst zine and my other titles. Preorders will close on October 22.

Thanks everyone who has purchased something for your support ♥ 

[icymakesazine]

So... let me lay it out here...

We’ve hit a bit of a road block here and I’m hoping we can stumble our way over it, but for the moment Lance stretch goal status is at 15/25 to a zine exclusive fic. Which, granted, we have about 3 weeks to go but it’s definitely a slower start than I thought it would be even factoring in various circumstances ^^;

In the event we somehow don’t reach that... well, I’ll include a little something for everyone who did order one, but the zines would be changing printers to help reduce costs some. Still a beautiful, high quality zine, but there wouldn’t be an interior colored cover (the horror ;p). Thank you for your understanding if unfortunately that does come about. 

Thank you all for your support thus far, it truly means a lot ♥
