Frequently Asked Questions for Attendees
What is this?
Don's Dead Market is a bundle of achillean creative work involving frequently censored subjects. You purchase one ticket to access everything.
After I get my ticket, do I need to purchase anything else?
Nope! One ticket gives you full access to all of the comics, books, games, and other bundle items.
Can I share my ticket?
To ensure all creators are paid for their hard work, we encourage readers to purchase one ticket per person.
Can I get a refund?
Due to the nature of digital items, refund requests are not granted outside of very extenuating circumstances. If you have questions about your order, you can talk to us directly at staff[at]ddmarket.online.
How long does the bundle last?
May 19th to June 17th is how long the bundle is available to purchase. You will have until July 19th to download your items.
Why is it limited time only? Can I download again after it ends if my computer explodes?
By making download available for a specific period only, we’re able to provide a special platform that feels unique and timely. Limited availability also helps us manage staffing, artist communications, and lets us prepare for the next year.
We can replace the bundle in special circumstances, but we're not able to provide round-the-clock download access for both hosting and staffing reasons. Contact us at staff[at]ddmarket.online if you need assistance.
Do I need to purchase anything to participate in the closed Discord??
Only the singular ticket! How to participate will be emailed to ticket holders ahead of time.
What is the Discord pop-up shop? How do I access it?
The pop-up is a temporary server where both attendees and artists can mingle, chat about their favorite works, swap recommendations, and generally socialize with like minded people. Ticket holders will be able to access it via an email sent to the address associated with their ticket order and via a link on the bundle page.
The Discord will be put into read-only mode after June 21st and deleted after July 19th (same as when the bundle is no longer available), so participate while you can...!
Why Discord and not Stoat, IRC, or another software?
Time and convenience. During our original interest poll, the vast majority of readers said they would prefer to interact with something they already know rather than make a new account for a different service. The Staff does recognize the difficulties of security on a software like Discord and are always open to hear about more options (with the caveat that we would prefer you volunteer to help us with said option, of course) that fit our needs (images, threads, VC, etc).
Why is there a bundle download and also separate listings?
We love the ability to choose! If a reader is looking for a particular theme or wants to stay away from a specific trope, having listings with tags make it easier for everyone.
It's all the same material- if you've downloaded the bundle, you do not need to download each individual listing's file and vice versa.
What do the tags mean?
See our tag guide here (for ticket holders only).
Who selected the tags?
The tags were put together by staff and vendors alike- vendors submitted their work with tags they think applies to their work, and staff compiled all of them into a much easier to read list.
I have another question not answered here!
Contact us at staff[at]ddmarket.online and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
