Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Why has [dietary restriction] not been accommodated?A: There are two reasons: First, there are simply too many different dietary restrictions to accommodate all of them in one project. Second, because the availability and quality of so many dietary substitutions is dictated by region and budget, it's more feasible to expect people to choose their own.Q: Why is there so much time between pre-orders and shipping?A: Two reasons. One: merchandise is only produced after orders have been placed and we know how many units to order. Two: over the last few years, there have been enough unprecedented shipping and supply issues that we will be erring on the side of caution and building extra room for possible delays into the ship date.Q: With so much time between orders and shipping, how will I know the project is still progressing?A: Keep an eye on the tumblr and twitter, there will be order placement, arrival, and shipping updates posted on both platforms.Q: Why are you allowing fanon ships?A: Because this is a fan project, and fan ships are a major part of any fandom. Participation QuestionsQ: Am I allowed to apply for/work on multiple roles/pieces/recipes?A: Absolutely! However, everyone will be limited to a maximum of 3 roles and/or 3 pieces. To clarify, this does not mean you can create 3 pieces per role, it means you can create a maximum of 3 pieces, and those pieces can be spread over 3 different roles.Q: Who gets to choose the recipes? Who gets to choose the characters and settings?A: Food/Drink Contributors will choose the recipes.
