EMAILS SENT OUT!!! 😄
Check your email for more information about the zine and a link to the discord server.
We apologize for the delay in sending the emails. We wanted to be able to provide our contributors with as many specifics as possible before asking them to begin working. The lateness of acceptance emails isn't related to the quality of an applicant's work.

#clex#smallville#clark kent#lex luthor#clark x lex#fanzine#zine#clex zine 2021#the 'applications' r mostly just in place bc I feel like I'm either#drastically overestimating or drastically underestimating the amount of people who want to participate in this zine#so I figured holding applications would be better than posting a sign up sheet. u know ?#but these applications probably won't be competitive -- ideally everyone who wants to participate will get a chance to do so#yeah !!!!#@ fic readers : please sign up so I can draw fanart for u#also mods and beta readers would be !!! very helpful !!!!!!

We’re releasing a Clark/Lex-centric fanzine to celebrate Smallville’s 20th anniversary! Answers to Frequently Asked Questions are below the cut.
Will the zine be physical or digital? After launch day, the zine will be available both as a digital PDF and as a printed book.
Will the zine be for profit? No. The digital PDF will be free to download. The printed books will be priced at the cost of production with no markup. No one involved in the creation of this zine will profit from characters owned by Warner Bros.
How many contributors? We are hoping to have 25-30 contributors, with the majority of those contributors being fan fiction writers.
How much will a physical copy of the zine cost? The exact price of the zine depends on the final page count, which won’t be determined until all contributors have made their final submissions. We anticipate the price being approximately 30 USD.
Will the zine include NSFW content? The zine will not include explicit sexual content. To avoid legal complications, we cannot mail ‘obscenity’.
What rating of content is accepted? We’re going with Ao3’s ratings and keeping works in the zine no higher than a Mature rating. Content with a General and/or Teen rating is acceptable. Content with a Not Rated and/or Explicit rating is not acceptable.
Is there an age limit to contributors? All contributors must be 18+. Anyone under the age of 18 will be rejected.
Can other ships or characters be featured in the zine? Mentioning other characters is acceptable, but the focus should be on Clark and Lex’s relationship.
Will contributors be compensated? No, unfortunately. No one involved in the creation of this zine will profit from characters owned by Warner Bros.
When will we know if we’ve been accepted? We estimate roughly a week after applications close for all contributors to be contacted. However, please check social media for frequent updates and information.
How long do contributors have to confirm their acceptance? Once you have received your acceptance correspondence, you have a week to confirm your acceptance by following the instructions in the email. Be sure to check your spam folders regularly just in case. If you do not confirm in time, your spot may be given away!
Are AUs allowed? AUs are allowed so long as the Smallville universe is the basis. Contributors may take inspiration from other Superman media (comics, cartoons, movies, etc), but the content should still be accessible to people who have only seen the Smallville TV show. If you have questions about a potential AU, contact us.
What word count should writers aim for? Our goal is to have 25 writers contributing stories that are approximately 3,000 words each. This number may change depending on how many contributor applications we receive. After applications close and acceptances are sent out, writers will receive a more specific word count goal.
Are there any other submission guidelines? All submissions must be new content. We will not accept fics and/or art that have been published previously.
As a contributor, how can we submit our work? Check out your acceptance email for instructions and more information. You will be provided with detailed specs, but as always, the team is always here to support you if you have any questions at all. Please don’t be shy!
If you have any further questions, please contact us!
#clex#smallville#clark kent#lex luthor#clark x lex#fanzine#zine#clex zine 2021#i hope that covers everything#gonna be honest chief. a lot of this depends on how many people sign up.#we'll be able to give Waaaay more specifics once we know how many contributors we're gonna have#I'm not sure if the goal of ~25 writers is overambitious or not#i wanna make sure we have enough slots so that everyone who wants to participate has a chance to do so#while also limiting the page count so the physical zines are still affordable#but if <25 writers sign up that's not the end of the world

The Smallville Pilot episode first aired on October 16th, 2001. To celebrate Smallville’s 20th anniversary, we’re producing a Clark/Lex-centric fanzine. The fanzine will be available on October 16th, 2021.
We are currently looking for mods, fic writers, and fan artists. Check this blog or visit our carrd for more information!
#clex#smallville#clark kent#lex luthor#clark x lex#fanzine#zine#clex zine 2021#if you see me reusing graphics from my other blogs.... no u don't...#anyways !!!! I'm not entirely sure how active the SV fandom is on tumblr rn but plz join the zine#it'll be fun :D#also !! i don't use twitter and I can't seem to make an account without a phone number#so... if y'all could spread this to ur Twitter mutuals that would be a big help#i considered making a gen SV zine but decided against it after doing an informal interest check#the vast majority of the people interested in doing a SV zine were clex shippers#if other SV fans wanna start their own zine I think that would be neat#but I'm just gonna streamline the content here and make this zine clex-centric since that's who expressed interest.
