F.A.Q.

What is this zine about?
“Thieves” is a fan anthology centered on Thiefshipping (Yami Bakura x Malik Ishtar) and Citronshipping (Thief King Bakura x Malik Ishtar) from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The theme of the works is ‘time’.
Do you plan to ship internationally?
Yes!
Is this zine SFW or NSFW?
This zine will contain both SFW and NSFW content. Because of international restrictions on adult material, NSFW art will be censored in printed copies. Uncensored art can be viewed in full on the digital zine, which will be free to download for anyone who purchases a physical copy.
Is this a charity or for-profit zine?
This zine will be sold for-profit. All participants will receive a free digital download of the zine and a cut of any profits made after production costs. If we’re able to hit our preorder goals, participants will also receive a free physical copy of the zine.
How long will it take to receive my physical order?
The Thieves zine and all associated merchandise are preorder items and will not ship upon purchase. Production is estimated to take about 3-4 months. Delays may occur, including but not limited to: shipping complications, increased lead times, and production delays. Any and all production updates and schedule changes will be communicated through our social media.
I bought a digital copy, when will I receive it?
All digital copies will be sent after all physical orders have been shipped.
I’m late to the party, will there be any leftovers?
We’ll be holding a leftover sale for physical zines and merch once all our current orders have been fulfilled. However, keep in mind that quantities will be extremely limited and none of our stretch goals (acrylic stand, scrunchie, and enamel pin) will be offered. We’ll post more solid information on leftover sales at a later date.
Will you be selling any of the bundled merch separately?
At this time, we don’t have any plans of selling the zine merch separately. However, any extras after leftover sales will be sent to their respective artists, who may choose to sell them on their own storefronts.

It's been two years since I jokingly decided to watch YGO and since then these two made a home inside my brain. I've contributed on plenty of zines in the past, first time being a mod on "Bratty Doll" Zine last year, I'm so hype to work with friends again on this project!

These two idiots successfully destroyed my last brain cell throughout the last year and a half and they deserve a prize for that. I was a mod for the Bratty Doll zine alongside these amazing people and have been part of several other zines as a contributor. I’m also a professional graphic designer, yipee!

Hihi~ I’m a professional graphic designer and have been extremely Normal™ about these two since the early 2000s. They’ve irreversibly rotted my brain and I’m looking forward to spreading the infection with this amazingly talented team 💕 This is the second zine I’ve participated in and my first time modding ✨

Hii✨️ Out of boredom, I rewatched YGO on Netflix in 2020 because I remembered it from my childhood. Since then, Malik and Bakura have infected my brain💫💙💜 After successfully publishing the ‘Bratty Doll’ Zine last year with these amazing guys here, this is my second time as a Mod! 💕

After the success of Bratty Doll zine, I am here with my wonderful team to bring you a thiefshipping focused project. I’ve been shipping these two since the early 2000s. We gather here to celebrate the love of a creepy white haired man and the prettiest bitch in Yugioh DM.
