Campaign Story
My name is Nona, and I am the organizer of an ongoing fanzine project titled "Come Along With Me: An Adventure Time Series Finale Zine", or AT FINALE ZINE for short. It is a fanzine dedicated to the final episode of Adventure Time, a Cartoon Network show - that I grew up with and hold very dear memories of. With the show ending soon, I decided to organize one last fanzine project for all the fans.
Along with a copy of the fanzine, we (the AT FINALE ZINE team) are including merchandise for special bundles. One of the merchandise includes hard enamel pins of Finn's most popular swords: the Demon Blood sword, Grass sword, and Finn sword.
Each pin will be 2 inches tall and have 2 butterfly clutches. They will be hard enamel pins for a smooth, polished look. The Demon Blood Sword pin and Grass Sword pin will have black nickel plating, while the Finn Sword pin will have silver plating.

We got a quote from our supplier abroad, and our total price is $450. It's reasonable, since we are ordering 150 pins in total (50 of each sword, and we cannot order under that amount as prices will increase), but with this amount of money, it's not possible for us to afford it by ourselves.
That's where YOU can help! By donating to our fundraiser, you can help us afford the enamel pins and bring these pins to your home. With this fundraiser, you can buy pins individually. 90 pins will be sold in total only with the zine, and for this fundraiser, we aim to sell 20 pins of each sword: making it 60 pins total just for this fundraiser only.
Donate $10: Get 1 pin of your choice
Donate $20: Get 2 pins of your choice
Donate $30: Get all 3 pins
Edit (8/24/18): We’ll send off the designs to our manufacturer at the end of August, and the pins will take 2-3 weeks to produce. After which, the finished pins will be sent to us in the Philippines, then we’ll immediately ship them to you. We’ve earned enough to cover for shipping costs, so shipping fees for the pins are on the house.
Note that by donating to this fundraiser to get pins, it does not come with the zine. There will not be a fundraiser for the zine, instead, pre-orders will open once the zine is complete. This fundraiser is only to help fund pins!
If you want to buy a pin now and want to buy the zine with other merch, we'll put a product up in the shop where you can buy the zine and other merch without the pin, so that orders don't overlap.
You can see all the rewards listed on the right side or bottom of this page.
Thank you for reading and we hope you can help us!
