Subscriptions
Subscribers receive a wide variety of content each month, including poetry, lyrics, short stories, personal essays, drawings, illustrations, comics, and other creative surprises delivered directly to their mailboxes.
Subscriptions are free, though donations are always appreciated.
Please note: Free-to-play (F2P) accounts are unable to receive mail and therefore are unable to receive a subscription.
Due to mailing capacity limits, subscriptions will be paused if the two most recent issues were uncollected. If you would like to continue receiving future issues, please be sure to collect your mail regularly. Thank you for your understanding! :)

Advertising/Sponsorship
Since its inception, Berries & Ink has been a labor of love, fueled by the passion of dedicated contributors.
Beginning with Volume 3, we are pleased to offer a limited number of short personal advertisements in each issue. For 1,000 platinum per issue, any character may submit a brief ad to be included in the publication. These may take many forms, including:
- Sponsorship acknowledgements
- Items wanted or for sale
- Services offered
- Trader shops, horse training, or businesses of any sort
- Personal notices seeking friendship or companionship
- Lost items, missed connections, and more!
Beyond their practical advantages, advertisements are a wonderful way to enhance your character's story and roleplay, while also engaging with the wider community of Elanthia.
For those who wish to support the publication but do not have a specific advertisement in mind, simple sponsorship acknowledgments are also available.
All contributions directly support the continued production of Berries & Ink, helping to fund materials, distribution, and the many small efforts that go into bringing each issue to life. By sponsoring or advertising, you are helping us continue to serve as a space for creativity, expression, and shared storytelling.
Selling, buying, seeking? Contact Illiya for more information or to reserve space in an upcoming issue!
