Happy Sheik Day! 🩷

mod yams speaking here! this will be our final post on the account, unless unforeseen circumstances arise. i just wanted to personally thank everyone who was with me on this journey over the last year

as some of you may know, this was my first time modding a zine, let alone being the head mod of one. there were a lot of things i needed to figure out along the way, and in all honesty, im just grateful this project was a success

every mod was invaluable, but i wanted to personally thank our writing mod kellen for being the Spreadsheet Master (in his words) and for putting up with my nagging. get yourself a man like kellen who is organized to a fault and can work a spreadsheet like nobodys business

to the contributors, i wanted to thank you all for giving this zine a shot. whilst smaller in scale (and thus less likely to fail), our mod team was otherwise inexperienced. yet you all valiantly took on the task and cooperated with us until the very end. im thankful to each and every one of you for putting in your all and for being patient with us during the production time. if you ever need any help, please feel free to reach out to me! ive got your back

to those who bought the zine: thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting the project. whether you were there from the start, or found out about it on the last day, your support made it possible for us to donate to a good cause, one that especially means a lot to me. while the contributors were the ones who voted on the charity to donate to, i cant deny that my fingers were crossed, hoping wed donate to a trans organization. sheik was, and is, a huge part of me embracing my own gender identity, and im so glad we could give back to that cause

and with that, this chapter is closed. if youve read this far, thank you once again. this whole message was full of sap, but my feelings are genuine. i couldnt have done this without each and every one of you!

while sheik lurks in the shadows, his soul burns brighter than the sun. may you all carry that same passion with you throughout your own personal journeys. with love, mod yams 🍠💖

Thanks to your support for Harp in Shadows: a Sheik Zine, we were able to donate US$1,000 to GATE: Global Action for Trans Equality! Thank you again to everyone who bought our zine and allowed us to make this happen!!

We apologize for this very late announcement of the zine proceeds donation. Truth be told, we donated the money way back in January, but we wanted to make the announcement special and that ended up taking longer than we expected due to conflicts in our personal lives.

For anyone interested in the specifics of how we got to this number, here's that data below: Total revenue: $1,100.42 (without taxes/fees: $1,040) Bigcartel transfer to paypal: $955.34 Final donation amount: $1,000 (listed as $1,032.70 due to fee)

The confirmation email can be viewed here:

Again, we would like to thank you for your patience and help in making this project a reality! 💙

Read Legacy, my piece for @sheikzine on AO3.

Every collaborator for this zine was so talented, and everything turned out amazing. Enjoy ^^

Summary:

It came on the wind, a soft spring breeze that brought with it hope and sorrow and a breath of relief and a sigh of grief. The young Sheikah caught the slip of paper between two slim fingers, their heart beating a bit faster than usual. It only took a glance to read the few runes written with magic: It is done. ---- The Demon King has been destroyed, and Sheik has been chosen to protect the Goddess Incarnate and help Her people reunite with the Surface. Still mourning the loss of Impa, Sheik meets their destiny head-on, stepping into shoes that seem impossible to fill.
