THAT'S ALL FOLKS
Hello readers, I wanted to inform that the fandom tapes big cartel store has officially closed. It's been a long time coming but there might be a possibility of making another store to sell the digital copy again. A lot has changed since the initial run and continues to wrap up any business that is left to be done. our email is still open if you have any questions
[email protected]I simply wanted to come here and say a big thank you to the supporters, artists, creators, and close ones that have come and gone to make this production even happen. Although it was our first and had many mistakes I simply ask to have patience and understanding for what ever comes of the project. This site will be up as an archive and I'm sure many have moved on from Walten Files as a whole, but I will always have a soft spot for the memories made with this project.We'll try not to be strangers and hope to all that bought anything from our store cherish it well. There is much more to say but I think that settles it for now. Thanks again, it was one heck of a ride.- Tailsy Evergreen (Co-creator of the Zine)

Ello' the names Dominique but I go by "Tailsy Evergreen"! I'm the co-founder, artist and mod for this project. This is my first time curating a zine but have also contributed in a zine before. I'm currently an art major at my community college. I aspire to be an self published illustrator and animator in the future. The Walten Files has been such a life changer and I personally wanted to make a project for the love of the series and its creator. It is my pleasure to create this zine along with my fellow artists and can't wait to see want comes from the fandom :D!

Hi! My name is Justina and I am the co-founder for THE FANDOM TAPES zine! The Walten Files is a series that I’ve truly been enjoying; its story speaks out in a way that has affected many, including myself. Naturally, I wanted to celebrate the series with this commemorative project! This is my first time curating a zine. Looking forward to creating this Zine and collaborating with those involved!
