From Zood With Love
Hello, ahoy there, and welcome to the crew! From Zood With Love is a SFW Charity Zine for Dimension Twenty’s “Cloudward, Ho!”While our charity of choice has not been announced, we aspire to support STEM-education as a play on this steampunk story. We have not announced whether this zine will be digital or physical. This largely depends on both a show of interest as well as availability of a shipping moderator.We are currently in the Interest Check period.
