FAQ

* What is a "Deltarune Merch Box?"
In celebration of Deltarune, we hope to gather fellow fans in creating a collection of stickers, charms, shimejis, and other fan-made merchandise of the Deltarune cast!* Will there be spoilers in this merch box?
Yes, please expect spoilers in this project for chapters 1-4. Should chapter 5 release during creation period, we also hope to include any newly unveiled content!* Are AUs allowed in this merch box?
This merch box is centered around the main canon storyline, and so AU or fanon content will NOT be a focus of the project.* Which characters will be included in this merch box?
The goal is to have a diverse array of both lightners and darkners in our collection! At the moment, we tentatively plan to have around 24+ physical merch items, and around 12 digital merch items. However, interest checks will determine the final size.* Is the project for-profit?
Yes, this project will be for-profit.* Is previous zine / merch experience needed to apply as contributor?
No, please do not hesitate to apply whether you have experience or not!* How will contributors be compensated for their work?
Contributors are guaranteed copies of all digital merchandise created during this project. Physical merchandise will depend on sales, but ideally, contributors would also receive these items, along with an equal split of any additional profits.* Can contributors apply to multiple positions?
Yes, applicants are welcome to apply to multiple positions, but will only be chosen for one.* Are there age cutoffs to apply as a contributor?
Contributors must be 18+ by the time of application. Applicant(s) that turn 18 during this period are also eligible. Otherwise, we cannot make any exceptions.* Where will this project ship from?
The USA.* I have more questions!
Lucky you, we have a Zaqa just for this, so ask away!
