Q: What is the Zine Azure Assemblage?
A: Azure Assemblage (hereinafter referred to as AA) is a personal fanzine created by artist No.129(It’s me), focusing on the Azure Gleam route story and the Blue Lions house from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (referred to as FEW3H). It includes most of No.129's fanart created from 2022 to 2023. It consists of 48 pages (26 pages of illustrations, 20 pages of storybook, and a 2-page Free Talk section). The textual content is in both Simplified Chinese and English.
Q: What does the storybook part refer to?
A: In AA, the “storybook” section is a series of illustrations with accompanying text that adds a touch of storytelling. The tentative title for this picture book section is "Present All to the King." A sample of this picture book section is attached here to help understand it better.
Q: Is the content of this zine completely public?
A: Yes, all the full art content of the zine will be publicly available online. The storybook section will be released on December 20th, which is Dimitri's birthday. One illustration intended for other zine projects will be posted online after the release of that project, as discussed with the zine's mod.
Q: Does this zine contain NSFW content?
A: No, none of the NSFW artwork I've created will be included.
Q: Does this zine contain shipping (romantic) content?
A: AA does not include content that I personally consider shipping-oriented. However, if readers wish to interpret some of the content as romantic content, they can feel free to do so, it’s their personal interpretation.
Q: I plan to pre-order some merchandise; when will they be shipped?
A: Thank you for your support! All the merchandise is produced in factories in China. I plan to go to mainland China in December to confirm the quality of all the products and participate in offline comic conventions. I am expected to return to the United States in January. All merchandise will only be shipped after I return to the United States and have them shipped to my location. Therefore, no product (including digital products) will be shipped in 2023. The expected shipping time is between January and February 2024. Thank you for your patience!
Q: Do you plan to participate in US offline conventions?
A: I admit I have an interest in doing so. However, whether or not I will participate and which convention I will attend depends on the actual sales of the zine, my personal schedule, and financial considerations.
Q: Why doesn't the Standard Bundle include the digital version of the zine? I would like to have both the physical and digital versions.
A: Thank you for your interest and support. The reason the Standard Bundle doesn't include the digital version is that all digital versions require manual delivery, and my personal schedule only allows me to deliver to the limited number of Deluxe Bundle customers and Digital Bundle customers. In the future, I will release the RGB digital files on my Patreon account for everyone to purchase at a more affordable price (but please note that the CMYK files and special avatars will remain exclusive to the Digital Bundle).
Q: I want to purchase additional merchandise or buy merchandise separately; how can I do that?
A: Please visit the "Extra Merchs" product option to purchase the merchandise you like. Please note that all the content of the Stretch Bonus included in the Deluxe Limited Bundle is exclusive to the Deluxe Limited Bundle and will not be sold separately.
