Why I like Ninjago: I like how creative the world is, and the ninja team has my entire heart <3

My zine experience: While this is my first time helping to host a zine, I have been a contributor in one before. I’ve also hosted several events on Ninjago Tumblr, including but not limited to Ninbingo, WIP Telephone, and most recently Fic Fest.

My favorite elemental power: Water 🐟 My favorite elemental master (besides the og ninja): Sora!!!!

Why I like Ninjago: It's nostalgic, cheers me up easily, and lets me feel that there is way more adventure and wonder out there than what we happen to be seeing.

How this Zine concept came about: Ever since I watched S4 for the first time as a child, these characters have been subject of discussion and theories. fandom continues to impress me with creativity and ingenuity. And, like a Tournament, I hope this can be a moment of discovery and celebration of the stories out there we just happen to have not seen yet.

My favorite elemental power: Fire! 🔥 My favorite elemental master (besides the og ninja): Skylor! :D

We have a pinglist for zine updates now! If you'd like to be notified of updates going forward, feel free to add your username to it :D You'll only get alerted for important updates, such as applications opening.

Hello! I was wondering whether contributors will be able to decide who they want to draw/write for or if they'll be assigned a character?

Hello!

You'll be able to state your preferences and/or ideas during both applications and pitch submissions, and we'll work with your preferences to cover as many elemental masters as possible. We want to avoid character repeats as much as we can, but you won't be given a character you don't care about. Overlap between artists and writers is fine.

Welcome to the Zine of Elements!

Zine Information Doc || FaQ || Updates || Interest poll || Add yourself to the alert list || Application form TBA

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Zine of Elements! This fanzine project is centered around celebrating the LEGO Ninjago TV series’ various lesser-appreciated elemental masters through fanfiction and fanart. Applications for the project will open in three weeks (Nov. 24, 2024) so follow this blog and read on for more information!

What is the Zine of Elements?

The Zine of Elements (ZoE) is a free, digital SFW fanzine hosted by @21st-century-ninja (Fabro) and @curiositythecryptid (Lis). Over the course of three months, 25 artists and 6 writers will work together to bring the background elemental masters to life!

The ZoE is a canon-focused zine, which means that contributors will be asked to create works that fall beneath the canon umbrella (see the Zine Doc for more details). While the ninja are allowed to be background characters in any works created, they cannot be the subject matter, as this is a zine dedicated to the lesser-seen elemental masters.

Who can apply?

Anyone, regardless of age or skill, is welcome to apply for the ZoE. You must be able to use Discord to communicate, and you must be able to speak either English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

What does the schedule look like?

Applications: Nov 24, 2024 to Dec 14, 2024 Application results: by Dec 28, 2024 Creation period: Dec 28, 2024 to March 22, 2025 (12 weeks) Pitches due: Jan 11, 2025 Check in 1: Feb 1, 2025 Final dropout date: March 1, 2025 Check in 2: March 1, 2025 Due date: March 22, 2025 Zine publishing date: Mid April 2025, TBD

What if I have more questions?

If you have more questions, the Zine Doc has more detailed information on the project. Our ask box is always open, too!

I'm excited to apply! How do I do that?

In just three weeks, writer and artist applications will open via Google Form! In the meantime, though, you can be prepping your portfolios. Artists will be required to provide at least three pieces, at least one of them that must be Ninjago-focused, and writers will be required to provide three writing samples, at least one of which must be Ninjago-focused and under 2,000 words.

And that's that, everyone! Follow this blog for future updates on the project, and we'll see you Nov 24th!
