Oops. Somehow I fell into the common shmup trap of limited-print runs for some obscure thing.

Just ordered my copy! Will have a nice spot for display on my coffee table. Thanks for putting this together!
Re: Pre-Order Now OPEN! for Pink Bullets 'Zine
Thanks a lot for all the pre-orders and kind words about this little project!

Re: Pre-Order Now OPEN! for Pink Bullets 'Zine
I was deliberating this a while, and then figured I'd be a total cock for not ordering. If it was me doing the same thing, I'd also want some community love, and you're top guy Ian. Well done for getting Overton on-board and completing your project, looking forward to seeing watcha got up-front. 
I also consider it a compliment that you shamelessly stole my 6yr signature for your website footer. It is the best signature in the world, so I understand.

Cheers all!
@skykid: I robbed the slogan from The Prodigy track of the same name!
Hoping the cost for a zine doesn't put lots of folks off. When you do the figures though, and you are dealing with such small numbers it's so expensive. Then factoring in packaging, postage, PayPal fees and so on makes it a tight squeeze where all you can do is offer a break even price. Well, either that or make a photocopied zine on the cheap. I could have done that, but that would do Mr. Overton's artwork a great dishonour!
One thing I have learnt from all this is how expensive printing is and how tough it is to keep costs down. Every page you add sends your total cost spiralling out of control. It's madness!
On the other hand the response has been totally overwhelming, so cool to see such a positive response. Same with other folks kicking out projects there, like Chronoblast for example.

Looking forward to your work. You'll need to print my address btw (it's in Kanji), lmk if that's a problem.

~$10 is not that big a deal for me, at least. It's the price of lunch.

(We‘re doing in the several tens of thousands daily - coulda squeezed the ‘zine out of our new digi suite no probs in such a low fashion, for relative pocket change! As I said, hit me up on pm. Or not...)
But real stoked for you on this - very much looking forward to getting my hands on this now, so fair play on all fronts for making this a reality for the shooting community.
Cheers fella! Keep spreadin the stg love yeah!

Oh, didn't realise this has gone ahead. Would've missed the opportunity if I didn't notice someone talking about it on Twitter!
Went and placed my preorder.

Re: Pre-Order Now OPEN! for Pink Bullets 'Zine
Interesting project - good luck with it!
I don't know about anyone else, but I originally skipped over the [fan]'zine' description... awful inbuilt bias I know, I'm just haunted by visions of photocopied, stapled, pages. This on the other hand looks like it'll be a cut above.

Thanks gray117. I'm trying to make it at the very best possible quality. If it was a photocopy job I wouldn't even bother, I'd just go digital.

Re: Pre-Order Now OPEN! for Pink Bullets 'Zine
Ordered last week, really looking forward to reading my first 'zine about anything in 20 years! Zines used to be all the rage at gigs until t'interweb...looks like production quality has moved on from the hand-folded jobs of yore
. Thanks for doing it Pyongyang!
