FAQ
🌟 updated 01/04/2025 🌟
------------ COMIC ------------
What's the difference between the cisgender and the transgender versions? Are the stories different?
The difference refers to Zagreus! The stories are the same, as are the adult scene choreography (with some minor changes, depending on logistics). Transgender Zagreus has top scars & AFAB genitals--you can take a look at the pages here!
------------ LEFTOVERS SALE ------------
Will there be a leftovers sale?
Yes! Follow my social media for updates.
When will the leftovers sale go live?
TBD!
A-Grade, B-Grade, C-Grade - what does this mean?
These are categories to describe the condition of the leftover books.
A Grade: a book without damage or errors.
B Grade: a book with minor damage or minor misprints that don't affect the reading experience.
C Grade: notable damage or misprints that affect the reading experience.
Why is shipping more expensive than the first time?
Shipping costs have increased since the last sale, unfortunately.
🌟🆕 Why is shipping to the EU no longer available?
Unfortunately, as of December 2024, the EU enacted the EU Consumer Goods General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), putting more regulations on products sold to customers in the EU. These regulations are confusing, so to err on the side of safety, I won't be shipping to the EU at this time. :')
Why are there no book combination bundles, like the first time?
The book bundles were made in anticipation of many orders that would want specific combinations, but were difficult to keep sorted. Due to time constraints from personal life, removing the pre-made bundles options is for simplicity on my end, this time around. Apologies for any inconvenience!
My leftovers sale order was damaged/missing! Can I get a replacement?
Unfortunately, all leftovers sale are final sale, and there is no replacement stock, so damages cannot be replaced.
In cases of damage caused by packaging error, a partial refund may be issued. Please send photos via DM @magusculpa or via the contact form here.
An item I want is not in stock! Do you have any more?
Unfortunately, all items in the leftover sale are all the remaining stock. There may be another print run in the future, but this would not be for at least another year.
------------ Old FAQ ------------
SHIPPING
When will orders be shipped?
The current ship-by date is August 1, 2024 (as of 4/22/2024). Please see Schedule for more information.
I want to order a book, but my address will change around shipping time!
At checkout, please leave a note about when you'll know your new address and/or the date you'd like to receive your order after, and I'll make a note for myself to hold your order until then! 😊
How is international shipping calculated?
International shipping is through Pirate Ship's Simple Export rate that allows up to 4lbs at designated flat rates! Once we exceed the 4lb limit, regular shipping rules apply. The bundles are made to take that into account, but some (eg. the Hardbacks Bundle) will not qualify for this flat rate. Read more on Pirate Ship's site.
I want to order more than two copies of Ease Off, but the international shipping is insane! What should I do?
For international orders of multiple copies of Ease Off, please contact us directly at through the Contact Form or at magusculpa[at]gmail.com
ORDERS & PAYMENT
Will there be a leftovers sale?
Yes! Please follow my social media accounts for announcements. ** Update 1/2025: See above
My order was damaged or went missing, what can I do?
Please use the form on this site, DM me on social media @magusculpa! Email will result in a faster response. Unfortunately, leftover orders cannot be replaced in case of damage due to packaging errors, as stock is limited and final sale.
Can I order after preorders close?
Unfortunately no 🥲 There *may* be a seconds sale, depending on what printed stock looks like. I can’t guarantee this, though, so I don’t want to promise anything
Can I order now and pay later?
BigCartel (the shop) use Stripe and PayPal, both of which should have pay later options (Stripe Afterpay, PayPal Pay Later)
My payment was declined! What's happening?
Please email me at [email protected] or DM me elsewhere for help! I'm able to see certain declines. Most of the reasons so far seem to be on the bank's end needing more authorization, or local regulations.
Can you offer a cheaper digital version?
You can buy the full digital book versions at magusculpa.itch.io for $15. The comic is also free to read on all social media & my site, and individual chapter pdfs are available for FREE/pay-what-you-want
Is there a limit to the number of books I can buy?
As these are pre-orders, there is no limit to the number you want to buy! The only limiter will be shipping--for large orders, please contact us directly at through the Contact Form or at magusculpa[at]gmail.com
I can't use Stripe/I don't have a credit card--can I use Paypal?
Paypal is now set up as of May 4th!
STRETCH GOALS
What's a stretch goal?
Stretch goals are extra aesthetic print features that can be afforded if a minimum number of books are pre-ordered! These numbers are scaled according to roduction costs. See Stretch Goals for recent updates!
Do both cisgender and transgender versions need to be equally bought for stretch goals to be met?
Yes, but depending on the cost of materials at production time and the number of preorders, the goals may not need to be evenly met! See Stretch Goals for recent updates.
MISC
Why does this process take so long?
We need to allow enough time for people to pre-order, in case they miss the listing, need time to decide, etc! Pre-orders ensure we will order the correct number of books. Those books must be printed by the printers; shipped to us; packaged by us; and then shipped to you! ...Making books is a lot of work, apparently 😅
Why does 🍂 = cisgender?
Ok so: originally I had 🍂=cisgender, 🍃=transgender, 🌱=SFW, for differentiating which versions were being posted on social media, so I wouldn't confuse them. Emojis help me find information quickly, and I was thinking of laurel leaves. However, 🍃 and 🌱 are the same color and it was hard to tell them apart at a glance, and the much bolder 🏳️⚧️ emoji already exists! Perhaps I didn't need the leaves after that, but I love a little picture.
Why are you saying "we" all of a sudden?
For this part of the process, I am very lucky to have a handful of friends helping! I could not do all this on my own, at least as a first time! 💀
