Printed version: AarinSecret Issue #3 (Spring 2013)

[aarinfantasy]

The picture above is a sample of the printed version. It is in full color with about 60 pages of good quality paper and cover lamination. The size is A5 (which is half of an A4 paper). I have 35 copies available to be sent out worldwide.
All of them are autographed personally by Otome's Way artist Ai Yusura in Otome's Way last interview page. I will also include a personal note too~


FORUM FUNDING PROJECT: May and June 2013

I mentioned that it is Not For Sale, so after careful consideration... I will be giving them away as part of a donation drive for the forum, this is because donation has been extremely slow again. Anyway, the magazine will be for those who fulfill the following criteria:

- Opens to everyone in the forum including staff.
- You have to donate at least US$50 or above.
- You must have a valid mailing address after June 2013.
- You should ONLY donate if you are sincerely thinking of helping the forum funding and not solely for the magazine... because this magazine is totally NOT for sale.

All donation received above $50 or above from you qualifies you to queue for the magazine.
Please note that all the donation money will fully go in the usual forum funding. So I am NOT receiving any profit at all and your donation will show up at the donation bar in the forum. Cost for the magazine is high because of the limited copies and it is manually binded. Even the shipping is expensive, it can range from US$5 (nearby) and about US$22 to the USA for example. So if you like (not forcing you or anything), donating extra is much appreciated.

Remember, I only have 35 limited copies, so first come, first served.
There is no priority for higher donation money, the priority is for first 35 donors who fulfill the above criteria.
The magazine will be sent out via registered mail with tracking number from Malaysia in June 2013.
AarinFantasy is not responsible for any lost of the magazine during the postal process or because of invalid address.

If you are in queue to get the magazine, I will contact you through PM to get your mailing address and give you more info there. For those who might have donated but is after the 35th donation, I am so sorry about it... so for that I will give you a point compensation with extra bonus (probably a few million points).

For questions on the printed copy of AarinSecret (or if you have any doubts), please ask/post in this thread.

Thank you so much for your support!~

IF for some reason you do not want to receive the magazine but only want to donate, you can do so and please include a note in the PayPal message, so I can give the opportunity for the next person.

EDIT: I forgot to add that this printed copy comes with a special bookmark, that looks like this:

For years I come here to get inspiration and to relax and I have donated in the past. But I haven't donated as much as I should have in the past months so here's one to make up for it!
Awesome magazine with lots of beautiful color illustrations and I loved to see a picture of you Aarin, you're a beautiful woman
Thanks for everything, same goes for Dai and all the other awesome folks who help make this site possible.
Because, let's be honest, our lives would be less fun without this site!

[bronakopdin]

I think this is a very good idea!
Too bad that as a poor university student I can never donate much, so no magazine for me, but I might still donate a little again later this month when money arrives
hopefully this leads to have some savings back for the future when donations are slow again

[TifaKira]

I hv donated b4 but 50usd is too much for me... T^T....
hv to think carefully first..

Hi TifaKira, sorry about the high donation limit... but it's for forum funding.
Just download the digital one ^_^

Good Idea... BUT... Can I list the names I want them to have the print?

Since it limited; I will take five names if that is OK.

@Twinstar

Please give your address to Aarin for mailing. Or Aarin can mail them all to me and I will send them to you~

[TifaKira]

@aarinfantasy; yup I understand T^T..
its just that usd is 3x malaysian money ><... lol..

[Roveen]

@aarinfantasy; I can't thank you enough for giving it away in the Sawachi Nijikai 2013....I totally snatched it
And I've read it, the quality is really good and I really enjoyed reading it! So again, thank you

@TifaKira; I understand....fellow Malaysian over here and USD 50 is really no small amount, I'll have to starve in college for about a month or more to save that much money, like I did for the Sawachi event :sobs: I was telling myself that if I didn't get it, I'll go download the digital version instead

[TifaKira]

@Roveen; yup T^T i spent almost 600+ in sawachi T^T im broke now..
too bad i was working at ticketing on the first half of the event so i missed out the chance to win it at aarins booth ><

Yes, you can do that. Make sure the other people are okay with sending their mailing address to me.
