(Too lazy to write a new post, so I'm just going to repeat what we said on our blog)
So it seems that a number of yuri artists, including Takemiya Jin, Amano Shuninta and Momono Moto, came together to make their own independent yuri magazine, Galette. It will be sold through a number of channels (including the Kindle store), but it’s also being funded through Enty, a Japanese site that basically functions like Patreon—i.e. different monthly payments with various rewards, including free digital and print copies of Galette. This means that you—yes, you!—can now support the publication of a new yuri magazine.
To assist you in this endeavour, we’ve translated all the relevant portions of the website. If you do decide to become a supporter, the actual payment process is in English. I don’t know how they handle international shipments for the physical goods, though (there’s a good chance they do not), so if you want to sign up for one of the higher reward tiers we may need to make enquiries.
As for the content, all we know so far is that will be gay comics, photos and other media. We have a complete list of the participating artists and details of the reward tiers below:

Galette – Yuri Comic Magazine – is Creating Yuri Manga
Galette is a self-published yuri comic magazine that brings together yuri from various media, including manga, illustrations, pictures, and music. The contents are gathered and published four times a year at the Kanto COMITIA convention.
“I want to draw love between girls with an emphasis on story!” “I want to regularly send out some high-class yuri!” Artists who felt this way came together and designed the yuri comic magazine Galette.
We’re gathering all of those who want to support our efforts to make this a stable quarterly publication! The proceeds from Enty will be used to cover operating costs and given to the artists.
For those who register at the Gold Level and above, every issue of Galette will be sent to your home for free.
*Unfortunately we can only mail them, and so you are unable to pick them up at the event directly. Thank you for your understanding.
For those considering registering at the Autograph Level:
*Please review the following lists first
For those who want the autograph of someone not on the “requests possible list,” we recommend getting in touch with the management prior to registering (optional). It’s possible that some artists may be unable to accept cards, etc., to be signed.
To avoid any trouble, the Galette staff will negotiate with the artists. (Please refrain from negotiating with the artists directly).
*Once negotiations are complete, you cannot change the artist whose autograph you want.
Each list can be updated at any time. *Honorifics omitted (last updated 1/12/2016)
